"I guess it's because we all want to believe that what we do is very important, that people hang on to our every word, that they care what we think.
The truth is, you should consider yourself lucky if you even occasionally get to make someone - anyone - feel a little better.
After that, it's all about the people that you've let into your life." - J.D. , "My Finale", Scrubs

Movie posters...

I saw three movie posters side by side while travelling a couple of days back. They all proclaimed their respective movie to be a big hit... But it was the terms that were used I wanted to share with you.
In order, they were :
1. Robotic Hit ( no guesses !!)
2. Humane Hit
3. Supernatural Hit.

A couple of weeks back, when Piranha 3D played, the poster had the catchphrase...'Fish that bite like Dracula.'
By that yardstick, I wonder what the poster of Harry Potter 7-part 1 is going to read... 'Magic boy with flying broom chasing ball with wings for fun and fights dead weird nosed man who came back to life after being hidden in different pieces of things... Will kill him next in next movie.'

Sigh. Last decade was spent recovering from the humiliation of having to try and explain why/how on Earth we Keralites ended up making Shakeela ( Google her if you don't know her... I ain't putting her pic here !! ) our state sex bomb. ( Our state's affinity for elephants did not help, of course... )

This time, it looks like it's gonna be 'idiotic poster decade. 100 percent literacy doesn't always imply common sense, I guess.
