Da bomb of a dialogue
Peter Griffin is the funniest cartoon character I’ve come across. No, not even Homer Simpson comes close. He’s outrageous and the creator cares 2 *****s for political correctness. And that’s exactly what makes the show great.
Here’s something that almost made me crap my pants. This is what Peter (as an ancestor Jabba di Griffin) says in a flashback moment:
Rahsa Naba Doe-ah Gola Wookiee Nipple Pinchy!
This has to be the funniest piece of gibberish in the world. Or does it? Wait till you hear what Quagmire says as Bill Clinton:
My fellow Americans: I have not been entirely truthful with you. I did ga-googity that girl. I ga-shmoygadeed her ga-flavity with my googis, and I am sorry.
What? You think I’m a shallow, no good blogger who just posts rehashes of popular TV show dialogue? Well, go f*** yourself.
More demons of stupidity …
Just listen to the lyrics. Retribution at last. F*** yeah!
No smoke after Aag
Got to watch RGV’s “Sarkar Raj” on the Saturday that just went by. I must say I was a whole lot more skeptical about it as compared to putting unknown Mexican food in my mouth. But thankfully there were no unpleasant surprises in the movie. All actors were spot on in delivery. Dilip Prabhawalkar was effective & a perfect fit for the role. Abhishek Bachchan had powerful screen presence & impeccable dialogue delivery. Aishwarya … well she had a small role with few lines which she, thank heavens, didn’t botch up. The twists & turns in the movie are extremely entertaining & well timed. All other factors like direction, editing, cinematography, lights & sound are signature “Factory” products. But this time, they’re far better executed than with the previous “defective maal“.
But the one-man army of acting, emotions & screen presences, the Big B, Amitabh takes the cake. He’s the cynosure of the movie. The second half of the movie (and a portion of the first) is all about him. His face is a veritable cornucopia of expressions. His voice full of emotions. His eyes, replacing the words when & where it’s needed. RGV has really allowed AB to take the lead here and the outcome is great. If this is a peace offering from RGV to AB after the debacle called Aag, sir, there couldn’t have been a more fitting one.
The movie’s a must watch!
