About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

I am Hollywood

Hollywood doesn't seem to get tired of exploring themes of Armageddon.They love the thought of getting attacked by the unseen, the last day on earth and how Americans can only solve it for earth, Zombies who pop up from everywhere and anywhere...and so on.

Every year there is at least one major release on this theme from one big studio and surprise....they are damn money churners. They are the cash cows of Hollywood and possibly they never seem to fail. This week its the big release of Will Smith's " I am Legend" based on Richard Matheson's novel on the same premise.

I wonder how they managed to shoot the empty streets of New York which is goddamn impossible. I read that the producers spent around 5 million dollars for the Brooklyn bridge sequence. Hollywood guys do know to stump the audience :-)

Lets see how this one fares at the Box office. As of now....enjoy the trailer.

@Priya
May appeal to Will Smith fans. I should say after watching it I felt like saying "I AM STUPID" :P
