The third movie I saw this week was ' Stepfather' or was it ' The Stepfather'? I don't even remember.
Wouldn't have much to say bout this movie, it was'nt that good. it was an OK type movie. An adult movie. The beginning was OK. The script was flat and predictable. The cast wasn't impressive either. The camera work was good, it did provide a few chills here and there. The end was HORRIBLE...FUCKED UP...TOTALLY CRAP
So it killed the impression of the whole movie, making it a stupid junk movie!!!
Avoid it if you can!!

The second movie i saw was the well publicized and long awaited 'AVATAR':
At the onset, I have to say, they have totally kept up its hype and reputation. The movie as publicized, was totally worth the 1400 crores they pumped into it. The story line was not that impressive. The special effects and animation, on the other hand was something else, totally out of this world.
The movie demands 3D viewing. Anybody who has not had the opportunity to watch it in 3D should definitely watch it again and in 3D for a totally different and awesome experience.
This actually made me wonder, how do they manage to make that 3D effect in movies so pronounced and realistic. The glasses which we were made to wear for the 3D effect, as I thought, were basically polaroids, so i believe that they make the movie in some way which is polarised to different angles. When these rays are passed through polaroids, they different angles come differently, thus creating the required 3D effect.
If you are not aware, 3D viewing or recording requires at least two cameras so as to capture the angular dimensions of the object being viewed. It is for the same reason that we have two eyes, else we would see the whole world in 2D..imagine....
It is for this same reason that a person who has lost one of his eyes, has no sense of depth, as his brain's 3D comprehension is affected, thus resulting in a loss of his 3D viewing ability.
Will research deeper in this topic and post it soon:)
As of now, coming back to the original topic, an awesome movie, a must watch. In 3D that is...

Random Things
This week i saw three movies, so plan to write some junk 'bout 'em.
First was "3 Idiots":
The movie is cool. It depicts the life of three Engineering students. All the fun they have, all the problems they face and how they deal with 'em. It however, as all Indian movies do, does not stop there, and goes a little further to put in some romance and songs and dances. It does provide a very nice assortment of emotions. The change or rather flipping of emotions is something which actually appealed to me. One moment everyone's happy, and the very next moment in a very striking fashion, someone dies, or something terrible happens. Thus creating a plethora of emotions, in a good way though.
The movie has something for everyone, emotions and romance for girls..;) science for geeks, a lesson for elders and comedy for everyone. It has also brought into light the most important topic of 'Importance of gaining knowledge rather than just marks'. Has tried to highlight the scientific and analytical mind we students should have, rather than just the getting good marks idea.
Overall i'd say, they movie is a must watch. Hated Kareena Kapoor though. she's just too ugly.
Anyone who has read the book 'Five Point Someone' by 'Chetan Bhagat' would immediately realize that most of the movie's script was taken from it. And at the end of a successful run, no credit is given to the writer and he very politely, in such a sophisticated manner, which is rather unbelievable, appeals to the director, that he should be acknowledged. I mean, What the FUCK??? how is it possible that a music director had to pay 2 crores to a guy who claimed that he picked two lines from his song and this director who almost lifted the entire movie's script from Chetan Bhagat's novel does not even acknowledge him, forget about payin' money!!
I would clearly say, publicity stunt!!

Present work
As the last post on the topic said, i am presently working on a seminar on sub-atomic particles.
The work of data collection is complete and the process of organizing is yet to start. Have a journey in the middle so it is expected to get delayed for about a week.
In this post i wish to indicate the topics i have covered in the seminar.
The topics discussed in detail are:
1. The basics,
2.Quarks, Obviously..:)
3. Leptons
4. Hadrons
5. Mesons ( normal and exotic)
6. Baryons
7. Color Confinement ( Chromodynamic model QCD)
8. Beta Decay
9. Antimatter
The topics discussed briefly include:
1. Nuclear forces.
2. Quantum numbers of sub atomic particles
3. Asymptotic Freedom
4. Glueballs
5. Tetra quarks
6. Hadronization
7. Baryogenesis
8. Quark-Gluon Plasma
9. Hybrid mesons
and more. All these topics have been researched and anyone who wishes to read about them can leave their mail id in the comments, i shall forward a copy to you.
While researching, quite normally, several questions arose in my mind, and anyone who feels he knows or is in the field, please leave your mail id too. Would love to get those doubts of mine cleared out.
Just wish to make this page a place for all the budding minds to come together and learn together.
And lastly, A Very Happy New Year to all my friends and readers out there..
Cheers.
