Yes, they should put a closure on that issue.
Yep..AK said Mike will start off in jail..no time leap..but I don't think it would be feasible to have him there and maintain 2 diff settings for a long time..
Suits restarts in June right?
Last year, it started end of June.
Even though I don't understand the logic behind a mid season break of 3 months atleast it ensures we don't have to wait 6 whole months for next season thanks to that 😃
😕


@Quantico: they will have new storyline..thats not how shows go generally right..as in isn't there continuity generally

Depends on show to show but this one might be built differently. This year is terrorism, next year will be something different. The only common aspect would be the chr. of Alex P., so says one of the CVs.


Low ratings for Academy? channel shoukdnt have say in awards unless they are like Indian ones ..zee cine awards and blah blah and then they do what they want..at the expense of credibility

The ratings have been on the decline year to year now and that is what ABC is using as a reason they should have more say in how it is telecast.


I am aware of the Google drawing competitions..they had an innovative ones in India recently..where kids had to draw Google logo but incorporating the letters in something unique to their state. If I am not mistaken a kid from meghalya had won.
If they haven't already, they will soon introduce the science competitions too, which I think are great.


I am contemplating watching one of the new Sony shows..ek duje ke vaste (u had posted the promo)..seems nice and light for now

I started watching EDKV and KRPKAB on Sony since last week. For now they are ok. Am watching Blindspot & Angel Eyes (K-drama). I am looking forward to DD s2, which should be later this month.


There is another new show on & TV..amrita rai plays one of the leads..supposedly based on Lata mangeshkar and asha bhonsale..the conflict between two accomplished singers who were sisters
Channel?

Surprised to see PRDP on Netflix so soon. Saw the preview of Fan & Rocky Handsome (?). Something is definitely wrong with the Fan (Gaurav) guy. He doesn't appear real at all, especially in the scene outside SRK's house.
GOT -



Edit - have been meaning to ask u about Chinese movie "The Mermaid" which seems to have broken box-office records in China. Is there buzz about it in India or u know anyone who has seen it?

what i meant is that if they didnt have the mid season break ( of 3 months) the show would start in June and get over by Oct end and we would have to wait for 6-8 months for the next season..so for this ..the break in episodes works well

i read somewhere that PC is trying to get out of the show..dont the leads generally have multiyear contracts?

But cant the low ratings be attributed to recording and online viewing? I dunno if its just my perception but I feel that all suck shows are on decline,..live viewing I mean,,later while viewing the recording people can fast forward and watch whatever it is they wish..atleast i like watching shows online even though I can watch them on TV..so that i watch only the part i want to

didnt really like KRPKAB much..too weepy atleast right now..and the mother comes out as someone I dont connect to..am liking EDKV so far..its light and i like the fact that neither lead is too black or white (as of now) and the ML is normal to everyone except FL and that too coz of a valid reason

not as far as i know...havent really heard of the mermaid

somehow had liked JA's "Force" too apart from Madras Caf.

Fan.Gaurav seems a psycho obssessed fan
Yes, he does but the VFX are off again. If Bahubali can have good VFX which were all done in India (correct?), why do they have to mess up, esp. if they got them done in US?

The problem is considerable part of this dissent is manufactured which is what is working the rest (moi included)
People are moving from middle ground to extreme right or left ideology and the media is adding fuel to fire
I am beginning to dislike barkha and rajdeeps antics even more and I am sure the ones with left ideology feel the same for few other journalist


Not sure if this was reported in US media but

HoC does have some compelling drama but am finding it very heavy. I m stuck somewhere in s2 and started to watch Downton Abbey for sometime. Will go back to watching it soon. They just uploaded s4.

Haven't seen Spotlight but will watch it on tv coz the subject had created quite a stir here.


Haven't kept track of ratings here but do see headlines stating revised ratings for tv after the weekend. Longer than the week viewing might not get adjusted.


Never saw the new Mahabharata, so don't recognize anyone from the show. Seems like it attained cult like status. Yes, the FL of EDKV is good & seems more experienced than the ML.


Making Gaurav look weird or psycho is fine but that should fall more under acting than VFX, I think.


Who is Rajdeep in JNU controversy? Still need to look for follow up.


Have not read about the sale of F16s in American media at all. American politics 101 - laws are first voted in the House (of Representatives), then sent to Senate from where they are forwarded to the President, who either signs them (& they become laws) or vetoes them. The cycle can start again depending on the issue.


Thx for posting the articles...I hadn't read abt the satellites at all.

Does that mean u r now a Netflix subscriber now?
Last weekend saw San Andreas. It is a fault line on the Pacific coast of USA that includes the sate of California. The movie had destruction galore with DJ trying to rescue his wife and daughter in different parts of California. The daughter even managed to find a boyfriend amidst all this chaos. Might have been better at movie theatres but drama part was ok.
Thx for keeping me updated on the JNU controversy. Any action taken based on the committee suggestions?
The nominees for Republican and Democratic parties are to be announced next. Rubio has dropped out of the race too. Trump & Hillary won the Super Tuesday primaries held recently.

Not yet..I was meaning to subscribe but was too busy. So put it off..

Wasn't there a similar movie few years ago. With John Cusack as hero and him rescuing his ex wife and kid.
They go too dramatic in sih movies that sometimes if becomes unbelievable even if we try to suspend our disbelief

They have submitted show cause notice too the accused students..let's see what comes out of it

I am told even Hilary despite winning isn't all too popular per SE. I know about Trump..that even Republicans don't really like him..atleast a few of them..why is Hilary not so popular?

I still can't believe people are selecting trump 😲

What is convention voting in terms of this campaign?

Yet to catch up on EDKV for this week

Did u read about Kangana and Hrithiks sordid saga
Both are looking unhinged and sore losers


Edit: wow..Indiana Jones at 77..that's too old
And why not make the movie this or next year..2019..who know what will happen then

@china foot ball acad: that is some infrastructure man..we don't have half the stuff here

I remember seeing the John Cusak movie too & was strictly a ok. So was this one .

No, Hillary is not perceived to be as popular as say her husband. He did not appear to be as fazed by controversies but she seems to appear shaky.

There are some diehard Republicans who will vote for Trump. I am told his dis-approval rating is equally high. Imagine HBO selling 35,000 caps 😆 if you have seen the John Oliver segment on Stephen Colbert's talk show.

Presidential voting is always held in the month of November every 4 years.

Tbh, I am getting curious about Captain America considering there are so many superheroes in this one. Seemed more like an Avenger sequel than CA one 😕. Only Hulk & Thor were missing.

Yes, I did read about HK-K legal notice saga. What was hush-hush is now out in the open. Controversy is the name of the game too these days. Has Salman's or Sunjay Dutt's popularity waned a bit 😉 ? When HK first came on the scene, he & Dad had slapped a legal notice on Stardust for carrying an article about HK-Kareena having an affair. I can't remember the exact resolution but there might have been indications that Stardust backed down, at least behind the scenes.

HW movies take time & 3 years is pretty standard. Maybe HF will be part of Indiana Jones but will have to share screen space with Shia LeBeouf who was introduced as his son in the 4th one. Personally, I thought SL was not a good choice considering Sean Connery was HF's father.

So basically there is no popular candidate this time..I think between Hilary and Trump..Hilary is still a safer and more importantly a saner bet..and yes..I did watch the JO clip 😆

BTW. http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/2016/03/10/pakistan-f-16-sale-survives-us-senate-dogfight/81602882/

Talk about finding the questionaboe without being careful

I think they have a red hulk (I have no idea what or who that is) Roland yeah it looks more like avengers but the directors are the ones who usually direct captain America movies..which is why people are concerned if they would do justice to the opposing superheroes

It's not abt popularity for HR. It's his squeaky clean image that's taking a beating..salman sanjay were never known for that..but yeah .once their movie is out..the controversy is not going to matter.. The movie/performance will

I like Shia Lebeouf..but yeah as a son to Harrison Ford and grandson to Sean Connery..in an action movie. Kinda miscast

I like X men series..esp liked days of future past..I think it's one of the underrated series..

@new Ben hur movie: didn't look fresh..appeared like a rehash of all other movies based on Christ era..and seemed too modern for some reason


@the other side of the door..seems nice..but the problem with horror movies is that the endings are almost always underwhelming
BTW that is suchitra pillai right
