Sorry, can't help u much with Pokemon Go coz not playing or following it other than the headlines but did watch Seth Myers get a lesson with a few jokes on YT.


Suits e2 was much better than e1. Like Mike's new cellmate. Read that their handshake scene was likened to the famous creation of Adam painting by M. Though what is his motive to help out Mike is unknown. Check Mike's IG account for a pic of Monopoly card to get out of jail. Somehow, the show doesn't appear to be as great as before. They really ought to stop saying God****it in every single episode coz it was freaking annoying even in s5. I miss the dialogues of s1.



A Vin D movie really does focus on him & this one has 2-3 other chrs. than DP. In hw, screen space doesn't matter, case in point Ocean's Eleven & Twelve. I did like Happy Bhag Jayegi trailer. I am adding the movie to my watch list. Saw Tum Bin webisodes on YT & it seems interesting. Will try to check it out. Saw 24 & seemed just as well made as s1.

Brie Larson is selected as Captain Marvel. They also released Flash s3 & Arrow s5 trailers - R u watching these shows?


How are yoga classes progressing? Drmocratic convention starts tmrw & HC will be nominated as the Democratic candidate.

With Roger Ailes gone from Fox, let's see what DT does. Majority of his ivs were at Fox channel coz RA is a friend of DT's. Here is another one - https://youtu.be/KzqMzX4_1Eg

I can somehow feel something is off with s6
Maybe it's the parallel stories..the change in narrative..something
Not saying it's entirely bad but it's not the same level as before..and not stoking ad mulch interest as it used to

Speaking of change in narrative..sherlock teaser
One another show I love and am worried that they are digressing from the way episodes used to be..
The teaser made it look like regular espionage drama
It will be good if the story is interesting but it seemed to lose its novelty that came with it being sherlock Holmes..however my misgivings aside.. cumberbatch's expressions in the last few shots ..spot on
Saw justice league and wonder woman trailer too
Is justice league like DC's answer to Avengers? Composition seems similar too
Still not digging Affleck as Batman but he is better here than BvS..esp the tone of his character
Will take time to adjust to someone other than Grant gustin as Flash

Wonder woman trailer seemed good..but mostly skipping it

Didn't follow s2 of flash completely but now with Tom hiddlestone joining the cast..might give it a try
Dropped arrow like hot potato ..the show has gone to dumps

Isbthe show tere bin or tun bin?
24 ..my parents were looking forward to it..but we were out for both epi..will probably catch up when they do too

Brie Larson as CM is great choice
I am surprised they haven't given Scarlett's Black Widow a solo movie..

@yoga: was on and off these days with the family stuff
Hoping to get back to it regularly now

Making a new post since editing is an issue in cell
So Pokemon has sparked serious concerns..from leaking of info to safety to conspiracy theories(which I can understand )
And the most outrageous..a fatwa against it coz it's against religious principals

Also saw trailer for fantastic beasts..it's set in Harry Potter world but doesn't have the main characters
Eddie Readymanye is a part..looked good


Kim K- Kayne West- Taylor Swift saga

Salman Khan has unsurprisingly been acquitted by rajasthan HC in the Black buck poaching case over ruling the lower courts 5 yr sentence 🥱

Have you read the Shiva trilogy?

Rio Olympics is on course to become one of the worst Olympics ever
From zika to uninhabitable athletes village to doping to someone being kidnapped.the numerous pullouts

Makes me wonder..does it make sense to award the hosting rights to everyone?

Definitely, something is off in s6 Suits. Though they have tried to reset the story, but my enthusiasm is waning. Could be the dialogues, repetitive actions, or their refusal to tie H-D issues that creates a big plot-hole in the story.

Have to wait for Sherlock trailer. This was merely a teaser for comic-con but where is the dog that is part of the show? I like BC as SH and I also liked him as DS.

Now, they are grouping superheroes so JL might be an answer to Avengers. Netflix is releasing Defenders with the all superhero series it has. Did not post the teaser for you coz I don't think you watch.
I do like BA's movies (the ones he has recently made), so am waiting to see how he does as a solo Batman. The guy who plays Flash in the JL movie has the same innocence as GG though.
TH is joining Flash s3! I did not know that! Given that he is part of Kong, I would not have thought but I will definitely give it a try.


The show is Tere Bin...looks like I made a typo. Managed to watch just e1 of 24 this weekend.
When is Happy Bhag Jayegi releasing? The running shoes reminds me of Julia Roberts' Runaway Bride. Shiva's trilogy - You had mentioned it before. I haven't read any but have you finished it? Did u like it enuf to recommend?

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/24/entertainment/pokemon-go/index.html
http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/25/investing/nintendo-shares-pokemon-go/index.html
Saw video of a guy crashing into a cop car coz he was playing the game...nobody was hurt since the cops were standing outside the vehicle but this is crazy. Not to mention during a press brief at White House, a journalist was also caught playing the game!

Didn't even bother reading abt Kim-Kayne-Taylor saga but know that Kim posted some videos on IG with TS okaying the lyrics of Kayne's song pertaining to her. Salman acquittal - what's new?

I recall seeing JO & SC's clips on Rio. It is sad coz the country could definitely use the boost that comes with hosting the event but here it appears to be opposite. Have you seen JO's segment on the RNC convention and especially the one on Campaign Songs?

Haven't been able to see epi 2..thought I would see it yest night but instead ended up going for a movie. Lights out
For a horror movie it had a good logical story. That's usually rare
Not as scary as conjuring 2, was a good watch though
how was epi3

They showed a other trailer for suicide squad .not impressed
And for an Ben Affleck movie called The accountant..don't know what to make of it but seemed liked it will be critically acclaimed

Also there was another one with Blake lively..some survival from sharks drama..unimpressive

Happy Bhaag jayegi releases on 19th August
A week after Mohenjo-Daro (which hasn't impressed me much) and rustom
Dunno if it can survive the heavyweight movies

@netflix: I liked daredevil but I don't have time to watch it completely..i have so many shows and books pending...it's almost laughable..

Pokemon: a guy here rammed into someone's Mercedes
Now he is starting a drive to deaddict people from the game as a consequence

@rio: haven't seen JO and SC clip..isn't JO on a break?
I didn't see any link to his RNC coverage either

@democrat convention: believe the Obama's Mr and Mrs are ripping into trump without being crass esp Michelle
He is a good orator. No wonder people plagiarise her speeches
It's fascinating to see them support Hillary whom they were not pleased with in 2008 for the way she fought her campaign


Haven't seen any star trek movie..you?

@shiva trilogy: I loved the idea he presented..the first book is the best. It's interesting to see how he weaved the whole Shiv saga into a parallel story with abundant symbolism..actually made me curious to read more about the whole mythology associated
He has started a new trilogy ..The Ramachandra series..finished the first book..it's annoying to wait for the next 2 to release 😆

Another author I like is Ashwin Shangi..his Chanakya 's chant makes a good read

Suits - Saw half e3...will watch the entire episode and let you know.


Blake Lively is probably in Shallows with a shark coz saw that trailer sometime ago.


Happy Bhaag jayegi is also an ALR movie. After TWM & TWMR, shouldn't this is a heavyweight too? It might not be given the starcast though.


Saw JO & SC clips on Rio sometime ago...will look for them. They both (as do others) have channels on YT. Jimmy Kimmel you will have to search on DM or Google. The last one I saw had Matt Damon & him in couple's therapy again.
Viacom & CBS fued over SC is explained in this article - http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/stephen-colbert-late-show-viacom-cbs-1201825647/


Not surprising that the Obamas were not pleased with HC in 2008 considering she was running against BO. This year is another story...such is politics!


I might have seen one Star Trek movie.


Will check the trilogy and Chanakya chant...sadly, no time to read nowadays!

Brace for more -

Yep shallows it was..seems similar to any such movie. Didn't thrill much
How is everything in Delhi. Heard gurgaon has lots of flooding
Been raining here continuously too..

@hapoy bhaag jayegI: its produced by ALR and not dirceted by him (I think) like TWM and TWMR were...that's why the low buzz and the not so popular star cast
I love abhay deol though..find him to be quite good. And Jimmy Sherrill too
Have u seen Initial Ali's socha na tha..that was his first movie I believe (before he started making psuedo stuff like rockstar)..has Aisha Takia and abhay deol..one of the very sweet romcoms to come off modern Hindi movies
They have stopped making such sweet movies..last one was jane tu yaa jane na I think (haven't seen khubsurat so no idea abt it)


Isis: so even if we defeat them, they will hurt us somehow or other

@stephen Colbert: I understand that Viacom doesn't want him to use the same segment as he did with them, but is there any point to fighting it legally..i mean he is the same man after all and he side stepped the whole thing so easily

Like in Indian TV I could understand why cnwk and cnb were fighting coz guthhi was a character owned by cnwk
But here Stephen Colbert is playing himself (I dunno if I am making sense)

Btw I didn't like him as much as athe others ..but his coverage if GOP and DNC has been phenomenal
Looks like he is better at political coverage than other matters

JO came on his show..they can crossover like that?


What were the newspapers thinking

Things are ok in Delhi, it seems. Thx for asking.

I have read abt SNT with Abhay Deol but have not been able to get my hands on it. Supposedly, it's even better than Jab We Met, which I liked very much. Abhay Deol is a good actor for me too.
Which Khoobsurat? Sonam or Rekha one? I don't much remember Rekha one.


Colbert Report hosted by SC ended years ago. Doesn't make sense now but then someone here was awarded a huge settlement from McDonalds/BK for coffee that spilled for being hot 😕
Bill Maher & JO have shows on HBO (premium channel) & they have crossed over to network channels (ABC, NBC, CBS etc.). Jon Stewart might be the common link between SC & JO. JS is another heavyweight who is to start a new show with HBO soon. Interestingly, TN took JS's spot on The Daily Show.

Saw SC's clip on the photos of BC instead of HC when she won the nomination. How ignorant & foolish it seems?

This happened a while back but are u aware of the book writing controversy involving no guesses who?

I do think as a movie SNT was better than JWM..its just that Kareena's Geet was really good with the antics and dialogues that it stuck a cord..
Plus shahid Kareena were really famous then and had just broken up. So more publicity
I dunno how snt would feel now...but back then. It was one of the better romcoms made. Completely breezy

@i meant the current khubsurat..with sonam..haven't seen it .
I do kinda remember Rekha one .was one of the few old ones I remember

Colbert Report hosted by SC ended years ago. Doesn't make sense now but then someone here was awarded a huge settlement from McDonalds/BK for coffee that spilled for being hot 😕

I remember reading abt the coffee being too hot suit..
Sounded ridiculous then and still does now

I like the concept of US late night shows..they show imp stuff in a manner far more interesting that usual news
But isn't this overdoing things..
I read one of the article on how there is so much competition and so much as stake.
If JS was that good..TN may be finding it difficult..must have at least at the start

Saw SC's clip on the photos of BC instead of HC when she won the nomination. How ignorant & foolish it seems?

Isn't it..I would expect it of few iNdian newspapers like telegraph or ToI (which has gone to dumps)
Was shocked to see such ignorance from leading US papers.
For everyone who says there is no need for equalist/feminist movement this is evidence enough of the need

This happened a while back but are u aware of the book writing controversy involving no guesses who?

Ha-ha..not surprised at all..he is unfit to be in the race. Period


Edit - don't know what to make of elections this year...
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/30/politics/julian-assange-wikileaks-democrats/index.html

Does this have any legal bearing..i mean yes Hilary won the nomination. But it seems by unfair practice (she would have probably own fair and square to but the fact that they tried to bend it in her favor makes the whole thing shady)
Can it have implications now
Have to say in all this mess Bernie is the only one who comes out looking good
Given that it's trump vs Clinton now, there is not really a choice..but Hilary herself is a shady option..just that trunp is far worse.
Between a rock and a hard place


SC controversy - it has had a precedent
http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/29/media/stephen-colbert-late-show-convention-bounce/index.html

I still think the whole issue is ludicrous..esp since the channels are owned by corporate siblings
Have to agree with the bits of article that said that SC was phenomenal in convention coverage..
He was on and off before but this was his best from what I have seen
Political satire is clearly his forte

JS' new show - http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/30/media/jon-stewart-hbo/index.html


I have taken a huge liking to waffles..always have.. just it used to be difficult to find eggless ones before.. but now since last couple of years they have started serving eggless ones almost everywhere now..and it's not good for myself 😆

Is ur phone VR compatible?

Heard a lot about SNT, so wanted to view it but could not find it anywhere! JWM, I really liked.


WRT late night talk shows, all channels mostly have one and some even have more. Competition makes it interesting coz folks can easily switch, so they work hard in differentiating their show.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-trevor-noah-james-corden-915263


The leak's outcome by JA would depend on the material released. If it is clear cut, why not? But politics is so unpredictable.


Me too enjoyed SC's coverage of RNC & DNC 😃


Eggless waffles must be rare here. We have packs that are DIY & frozen kind which are prepared.


I don't think my phone is VR compatible atm.
