  1. OKAY THIS LOOKS VERY GOOD also Dakota Johnson is basically angelic
  2. booking.com is the best when you're not very sure. you don't need to pay to book, and its refundable I think upto 24 hours before check-in. varies from hotel to hotel, checking booking.com. they're super transparent and they have good pricing if you're looking to include breakfast, or even dinner with your room for some additional cost.
  3. Yeah. I've found the audio to be muffled in Spice halls before. If its a quieter noire experience like Batman or something, and if there aren't subtitles I'd miss like half the dialogues. I don't mind Wave as such - but Top Gun is the most hyped movie for me this year so want to splurge+I don't think the Wave seats recline at all. My school used to take as to Wave for movies.
  4. yeah dude IMAX pricing is f**ked. Was like this for DS2 as well. They're opening tix sales a month early and pricing is through the moon. I watched DS2 in regular 3D, 400 bucks a pop - and that was a whole week later. I did not care that much for MCU movies, but I do want an A-Tier IMAX experience for Top Gun Maverick and Jurassic World - and I'm very much worried about Logix IMAX pricing. Meanwhile go back to Spice (or Smart Bharat Mall ) and its still at 200 bucks - plus its 10 mins away from my place.
  5. Finally watched Doctor Strange 2. Hovering between a 6/10 and 7/10 personally. Its a Raimi flick alright, I loved certain sequences yet the story on a whole is just really not it. It only works because of its ties with the rest of the MCU. As a standalone this movie would have a lot of issues. As a pure sequel to 2016's original Doctor Strange, it would yet again have issues. Heavily relies on tie-ins and easter eggs. Don't get me wrong, I love Easter eggs sprinkled in - like the one very early in No Way Home. But fair few set pieces are there just to wow the audience and to make us go 'woohoo' when we see something that wasn't expected - but that basically do not add anything to the plot or the story. The first movie was definitely better, it def honed in on Strange as a person - and as a superhero later, while this one gives no f**ks about the girl, or any of the other major players and is based on any development previously done in pre-Endgame flicks or WandaVision. I did not really like how the movie ends either, did not feel earned. Entertaining popcorn flick for sure, but not worth 400 bucks to watch it at the cinemas imo. One would be much better off spending the dollar on Top Gun : Maverick later this month. Some spoilers now -
  6. Yeah sad. Its not done well at the box office overseas, so if there was a legit way - even something as dumb as renting it on Youtube I would do it to support more such endeavours but alas, will sail the high seas once again.
  7. This guy writes some of the BEST character interactions - incredible author. Boutta be hype.
  8. Where did you watch? I'm a big fan of Nordic representations in media - books or TV, the depiction of the Icelandic Sagas, the southward foray of the vikings later down the line, stuff like that. Picked it up in The Last Kingdom and Vikings, and this book called The Shadow of the Gods. Plus the cast is good, and I'm really hyped to watch this one. Would've loved it to see it at the movies, but will throw it up on the TV and enjoy it all its 4K glory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've read the book - knew the whole plot - and still enjoyed every minute of it. Not saying this is perfect but its a very good adaptation I'd say. I was just super engaged, knowing how it would turn out in the end didn't kill it for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In other news, watching Multiverse of Madness tomorrow evening. Was waiting to be done with semester exams. Do I need to watch Wandavision for this? My friend says I can just watch the final post credits scene and I'm all set? Thing is - I'm not sold on WandaVision. If I binge it tomorrow, its pretty much just for context and not out of excitement.
  9. streaming where? I have the main 3 services so I should be covered. will watch this weekend
  10. Okay I get you. Other features like a touch screen infotainment system, Apple Car Play, parking cameras etc I assume are all available across the board right? Gonna be going with a Manual, Petrol option. Any others to consider in this range? My current car is giving a lot of trouble so looking to get this done in another 10-12 days at best. Anything else when purchasing a car? Doing all this basic research, and I guess test drive it and should be good to go?
  11. We don't have sunroof currently either so probably not something we'll miss and we never use backseat arm rest. I'm very about Toyota though. The maintenance costs would be much higher compared to Maruti, Hyundai, Honda I assume? Plus we'd like to stick to the Sedan/mini-SUV variants. Looking at City 4th gen, Ciaz, Venue, Sonet, Dzire. any others to consider, and any opinions? Also anyone knows out of Maruti, Hyundai Honda which is better in terms of maintenance costs, easy repairability, replacement parts etc?
  12. Looking to change the car, range is around the 10L mark. Not familiar with the car market, whats good? Want regular family car. We are only 3 people, my dad will drive (he's not a flashy driver) and he's not home like 1/3rd of the year so it won't get daily use. We like small road trips however. Space, comfort, AC is the priority.
  13. Any good 24 or 27 inch monitors? General purpose (IPS) - not for gaming. Pls recommend brands or exact models?
  14. Please recommend 1.Regular fridge. Kinda big, and freezer at the bottom preferably? Would like it not be too wide. Not the double-door kinds. 2. Minifridge. Thinking of getting one for sodas and beers and stuff - separate from the main fridge. Is this a good idea? Would like rec for both - value for money options, nothing too crazy. Have very little idea in this department.
  15. definitely one of the weirdest trailers I've ever seen. solid cast though, Chris Pine looking sharp as usual.
  16. Hmmm. Your child? Anyway exposing a kid to self help books that early? Might turn him off from reading entirely. I'd rather recommend getting this kid in question into the habit of reading, the genres and learning can come later. Once you enjoy fiction, you can diversify interests later. Business and personal finance and personality books can be quite a bore, especially for a 10th grader. I'm a teen myself, so I'd say I'm more clued in that an average book salesman who'd just recommend you some bestsellers.
  17. I ain't taking a flight for this sh*t lmao I mean, it it available on the caribbean waters? Idk why our cinemas didn't get it at the same time. I wanted to watch this at the cinemas but it'll prob come to us on streaming. same thing happened with A24's Green Knight.
  18. is the Northman available to watch anywhere? ANYWHERE.
  19. very hyped to see this, love Cruise and love Top Gun. also, 4DX or IMAX? It'll be watchable in both formats? I guess 4DX with the motion and stuff makes sense, but the exhilarating nature and all the audio of the aircraft manoeuvres would be better in IMAX no?
  20. Never bought from Snapdeal. I buy mostly from Amazon - kindle/paperback + Bookswagon when buying new releases as they're usually cheaper.
  21. I have been exploiting the audible code thing for the better part of a year. Haven't paid once yet and have listened to at least 10 books, and have 3-4 ready to go I mean, the sub price is prob worth it but I usually get a code on GPay or one of my friends sends me one. Majordwarf sent me two CRED codes but I could only apply once. GPay code you can do multiple times.
  22. One of the few examples where the movie deviates from the book a lot - and they're both awesome. Kind of like Jurassic Park. Def do recommend reading the book still as its one of King's best. Oh fantastic. I love these Poirot movies eagerly waiting for the next one.
  23. Yesss! It was very well done, despite Gal's questionable acting but I really hope we can get a third Poirot movie. Also, whats this about the movie The Northman? Apparently its released in some countries and not doing well - but I've heard its fantastic. Want to watch.
  24. Heading to Kolkata tomorrow for 4-5 days. I still haven't seen any of the Fantastic Beasts movie - despite loving Harry Potter and Eddie Redmayne as an actor. Will binge the first two and go watch it at the cinema there since I will have nothing else to do. Also, is there any way to watch the Uncharted movie? Its not on streaming and I can't find it otherwise.
  25. fabulous game. indecisive clash of the PL titans - but hey, it gives the race even more drama will watch FA cup match next weekend
