Java Exam, Movies and Scripts!

Friday · 22 Nov 02 · 01:42 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Movies

My 4th Year 1st Semester Exams are officially over!  My Java exam was the last one and the question paper I got was #1, which was an easy one.  So that was a good thing.  Problem was, the questions were as mundane as you could make them ("What are Applets?", "What is portability?"), resulting in this being quite a boring exam to write!  Anyway I'm not complaining, exams are over after all!  On 24th, though, I am writing the CAT Entrance Exam, so I will be very happy when THAT is over.

On ZEE MGM they showed Traffic today.  I recorded this, I will be watching it later.  Those guys are also showing Get Shorty on 24th at 9 PM.  This movie channel is a little strange.  They do show good movies now and then, but a lot of the time they've got some vague movies on!  Also, every movie they show has a weird look, picture quality isn't as sharp and clear as the ones shown on STAR Movies, HBO or AXN.  Anyway, what I like about ZEE MGM is that they apparently do not censor movies, which is excellent.

I read the script of Bones today.  This is a movie with Snoop Dogg in his first starring role as a godfather-like figure, Jimmy Bones, who is killed off in 1979 and resurrected 22 years later to wreak revenge.  The director is Ernest R. Dickerson, who made Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, which I really enjoyed.  So I suppose he would have made a good movie with Bones, but I didn't like the script that much.

Wow, I just got my hands on the script of Pi, by Darren Aronofsky!  Just a few minutes back I downloaded it from JoBlo.com, this is one movie that I have to read the script to fully understand!  It was a very unique movie, a thriller filmed in black and white, involving mathematics, religion... excellent stuff.

Oh, and on a side note, today's episode of Roswell had Linkin Park's song With You playing in the first scene.
