sappa matters -#14

SM1: Was Slumdog Millionaire that good? All that talk about AB slamming slumdog seems to be justified for the wrong reasons.

--..--..--

SM2: Dwight's shortform is Ike. How on earth is that possible?

--..--..--

SM3: Gone are the days when a white wire hanging from an ear meant that the person wearing it was hard of hearing.

--..--..--

SM4: I swear that this was purely unintentional. I swear.

  • @sm1: Slumdog was fine but not sure if it should win an Oscar. I guess the portrayal of this aspect of India is fascinating to the West.

    @sm2: I have never understood a lot of shortforms. How is Bill = William ..is one more of them.

    @sm3: Well it is a precursor to becoming hearing impaired..so makes sense to me ;-)

    @sm4: Did you bite to do that? If so the artist in you should come out.

  • As usual, good ones..

    Slumdog is a more-than-decent movie.. Though the story is wafer-thin, what appealed to me were the screenplay, the emotional factor, music (esp. BGM in a lot of places) and performances. Its luck with awards has also to do with the lack of strong competition.

    SM4: :) Saivathalai?

  • Forgot about SM2: Had this huge confusion on my very first day at the school in US. When asked a certain Robert why he is called Bob, he said thats how it is shortened. I was about to ask him, why not Rob, but didnt, since the answer flashed a millisecond before opening my mouth. The unforgettable thing that Bob mentioned was "Richard is called Dick", shrugged his shoulder and gave a weird laughter/smile.. Paavam Richard's..

    Namma oorlayum shorforms don't make sense all the time. Dondu = Kodhandam. Sometimes, they are funny - Shortform, mediumform and longform in 5thanthiram!
