It's becoming tougher everyday to attract the attention of the ever exclusive 16-24 year old demographic.Usually advertizers resort to copying a style forein to them and adapting it into an acceptable neat little package, a good example is the ton of rap inspired jingles we see.If that doesn't work advertizers use attentiongrabbing logo and taglines. Sanity be damned!So clearly Diesel wants their

You got to throw some love to the brown brothers, getting cheddar, makin' dolla, going for the hustle and all other hip hop inspired colloquilisms.Aziz Ansari is quickly becoming a twitter personality if such a thing exits (he took on the IMAX-group a couple of months ago), he also had a small part as the fruit seller that didn't like Australians in Flight of the Conchords which was hilarious and

A couple of years ago I was in a very dark place- mentally not race wise. I was living in a very large well-lit and spacious appartement in Amsterdam looking over the canals.It was my year of seclusion and hedomism, not many pictures exist and my memories are hazy too. I wanted to erase most of the experiences and I do not revisit that year often.But switching through the channels on TV I came

I just started reading "Y-The last man" my first graphic novel in digital format. Not entirely convinced of the experience I'm about to have as you can say I'm as old school as oversized backwards Levi's.I just know I'll be missing the feel of paper and the wush wush-sound every page flick makes.But in these times of global economic meltdown even I start getting in touch with the hippie within me

Everything related to this movie looks funny to me.Larry David in shorts and walking with a limp.Samantha Bee (the Daily show) with an air of shock and disgust on her face which she does so well.And Ed Begley JR. who I think is hilarious after seeing him in Party Down and Pineapple Express.Woody Allen usually gets a shitty release for his movies.

Having dabbed my pinkey in advertizing years ago I know what kind of arrogant douches work in the industry. I would have paid an arm and a leg (and maybe donated some precious fluids) to be able to see the reaction of Audi's marketing team when BMW launched their campaigns.Audi: you got served!

Hot diggety- Did I enjoy this flick. If this was made by the Hollywood machinery (and according to the trailer it is being remade) then this is the kind of movie where all the girls get kidnapped whenever Morgan Freeman is around,Denzel Washington looks cool lying crippled in bed or Christopher Lambert saves the day with some cool chess moves...But although you might initially feel this is a

Mexican artist Dulce Pinzon created a very cool photography project called "The Real Story of the superheroes” I think it says something about immigration in a ironic way. According to her bio:""The Real Story of the superheroes” comes full circle to reintroduce the Mexican immigrant in New York in a satirical documentary style featuring ordinary men and women in their work environment donning

Marvels is a graphic novel or comic (I’ll use both words back and forth because I don't care and that’s the kind of James Dean- Arthur Fonzzerelli rebel that I am), published in 1994 and spanning the Marvel universe from the 60’s to now.It’s a re-telling of 4 key moments seen through the eyes of not superheroes fighting the battles but regular people and the effect on their lives.Although reading

Excel movies is slowly becoming my favorite productions house for Indian movies. Their movies tend to strike a chord with me every time. I watch em once with a lot of trouble as they still don't seem to be getting the type of distribution as Yash Raj films tend to do. But then I get obsessed by them and want to own a copy asap.This happened with Dil Chahta hai, Lakshya, Rock on and now with Luck
