Re: Nukkad

That guy Milo riles me up and I don't even support all liberal policies. Anyways, apparently Robert Downey Jr. is pocketing a cool $100 mil per movie for Avengers 3 & 4...this is his acting fee alone. I believe his contract also includes a part of the total merchandise sales as well. Heck, apparentl...

Re: Nukkad

Many of the riders of these Superbikes on BLR roads drive rashly often at speeds which are not suitable for in-city driving. One of my neighbour's kid recently bought a Ducati and on Sat nights & Sunday afternoon...his "gang" of bikers gather around near his house before departing god knows where to...

Re: Nukkad

So it seems like the recent H1B doom & gloom news which was at least highlighted in a big way in INDIAN Media was apparently a hoax. There is a Non-profit Org. called Immigration Voice which is supposedly fighting & providing voice for legal immigrant populace. Apparently, one of the members created...

Re: Nukkad

Wow! The supposedly upcoming H1B changes have put the desi H1B/GC community in shock & worried state. Few of them have started panicking "like I don't want to go back to India"..."have to start all over again in India"..."kids will suffer being in India" statements. I think folks who are rightfully ...

Re: Non-Indian Films discussion thread...

^^I agree Bright would have played out better if they had spread it across a ten episode format where they could fleshed out the story arc better. I may have to watch it again to understand certain parts of the movie but I found the plot linear and lack of back story did not bother me a whole lot. E...

Watched Bright on Netflix. Movie is directed by David Ayer, same one who directed Suicide Squad and the brilliant End of Watch. Man...I still can't take my eyes off from End of Watch even during reruns. So well directed movie. The camaraderie between Jake Gyllenhaal & Micheal Pena is riveting. Brigh...

Man, gotta hand it to Mark Hamill. What a class act...even though he was not happy with the character arc of Luke in SW TLJ, he was a thorough professional and provided his best. He did not phone-in his acting at all... Saw TLJ for the 2nd time earlier today. Second time in, I felt like the movie ha...

Re: Nukkad

I am assuming that H1B fraud dude was a US citizen by naturalization. So where did they send him packing? Similar case for this wife? If they had an OCI card, I am assuming that card is based on the existing US Passport. So if GOTUS revoked their citizenship, then probably their OCI becomes void as ...

Re: Non-Indian Films discussion thread...

It is amazing how b**thurt the low audience scores of the recent SW TLJ has been. Disney has attributed it to trolls creating fake accounts and giving low scores. Critics who gave a high praise for the movie are now having to justify their choice and in-turn put down the audience. Some low starred c...

Re: Non-Indian Films discussion thread...

One of the most stupid scenes has to be of SuperLeia (Leia flying using the "force"). I don't know what Rian was thinking. It seems like no character development takes place wrt Rey apart from a brief mention of her parentage (which in retrospect could be a ruse to mess up her judgement). Unless in ...

I think I will pass on watching this movie at theatre and just wait for the Bluray to drop.

Certainly not in A4. Already too many characters and not enough time to properly introduce X-Men in to A4. Besides principal shooting for A4 to be wrapped by end of Jan 2018. What is more exciting is that MCU will have access to Fantastic Four & some good really characters (Silver Surfer) and villai...

Re: Love & Marriage Nukkad

If a female thinks that she is strong, extremely independent and does not like to be told what to do, the best companion for her would be a male who is not very authoritative by nature or emasculated by circumstances. I would think such an union would be complimentary and less prone to clashes. A gi...
