Hey. My dad has an account with HDFC and a Regalia card. He mostly uses Axis Bank Vistara Signature card as he flies a lot and travel miles are better for us, so never upgraded Regalia. I don't have a consistent paycheck in college, but have got a Regalia add-on card now. I wanted one for lounge access at airports etc. The benefits are same as regular Regalia card? Any downside compared to individual Regalia card?

Yeah for once I didn't press next and it was mentioned in the ending credits. I'm pretty sure its shot in British Columbia/Alberta Canada. Cannot agree more, its just beautiful. Watching this show is almost like taking a vacation. I will watch with the family, so it usually goes slower but shouldn't take longer than a week! Will also start on Friday.
-
Yep comes out sometime today. They have started production for Season 5 as well, its on their instagram and twitter. We usually get the season in the summer, so same time next year. I personally haven't read the books but I hope there is enough material for a couple more seasons as I do enjoy this show greatly.

Excited for Virgin River Season 4 to drop on Netflix tomorrow. Great family show, solid writing great plot characters etc. Highly recommend grabbing a bowl of popcorn and watching this with parents, kids, siblings, grandparents. All around feel-good family show.

I would caution anyone to not get over-hyped for this. Yes it LOOKS stunning but Amazon poured an insane amount of money into this. But money can't buy good writing to well done character development. They don't own the rights to the Simarillion - but they are including some things with changed names and changing events a lot. I'm hoping I'm wrong and it turns out amazing, but after Wheel of Time - I'm expecting the worst but praying for the best.

Went and watched The Black Phone at the theatre. I really liked it a fair bit. Noir, horror, thriller - with a kid at the center cuz thats the best way to do it with a very interesting premise. Much better bang for my buck than f**king Thor. @STICK3Rboyit was quite good! I think I've seen like 6 movies at the cinema hall in the past month haha. Would have gone for The Gray Man as well but will netflix it. In this case I have read the book and I think Netflix has f**ked up the source material, per usual.
-
oh yeah Ive heard those are really good! I've heard good things about The Secret History, by Donna Tartt. and if you want to pick up an episode series of mysteries - the Arliss Cutter mystery books by Marc Cameron are really good.
-
Yoooo those are some crispy shots. awesome! @Bird Bird Birdhave been a bit out of loop this year, but I think you'll find most people recommending Sony when it comes to mirrorless. Full Frame is more expensive of course, but the A7R range has sold super well and is just a very reliable option.

I own a Sony A6000 camera. Only have the kit lens, don't have any additional equipment. Haven't used it for quite a bit now, plus I now own an iPhone 12 so covered in terms of casual pictures. I'm thinking the A6000 is a bit old now, even though my own has seen little use. Should I sell it off, and free up some money? I plan to go on a few trips later this year, will buy something newer then. Will cost more but I should be able to afford it then.

Also watched Thor this weekend, pretty much echo your thoughts 100%. They went with a non-serious joking narrative for the first 2/3rd - while it was fine I was at least entertained but the last act just lost me - trying to be serious will not have any weight. Christian Bale would've played a solid Voldemort - that is all I have to say Will not be going for further Marvel movies unless backed by solid reviews or if its Spiderman. Both this, and MoM were frankly a waste of money at the theatres.

Have tickets booked for Saturday. Logix mall IMAX tickets are 900 a pop. f**king ridiculous Got tix for 300 in regular 3D. Hopefully its half decent. I'd much rather have gone to watch The Black Phone but alas friends

Finally watched the Uncharted movie, yoinked the 4K and it was a good afternoon. Truth be told, I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't especially amazing, and I would naturally compare having played the games - but I've spent hundreds of hours playing as Nathan Drake so it is to be expected that the experience won't be as good with a 2 hour movie. However - it was entertaining, the jokes were funny, the callbacks to the game are there, the chemistry between Nate and Sully is going on the right direction - and most importantly they didn't change the essence of the games. It FEELS Uncharted enough. The plot structure as well as how events usually develop in these games. Looking forward to more movies if they make 'em. 8/10. Also, Nathan Drake bartending - that was new and I like it.

Hahahaha good one but yeah just comparing og Jurassic Park vs the Jurassic World reboo/sequel trilogy
-
Watched Jurassic World Dominion in IMAX this weekend. If you just want dinosaurs on the big screen, its solid. But as an entry in the series - it is repetitive, has a fair few plotholes, and just has lost the novelty of it all. They're used to dinosaurs now so no one is even scared, half the time they're not even running. Jeff Goldblum is as good as always, however. Maybe I'm old school, but this wasn't it even though the first Jurassic World movie with Chris and Bryce was really good imo. 6/10, recommend watching - but not at the theatres. Looking forward to watching JJK 0 at the movies next weekend.
-
really? I don't have a sub right now but okay! Is is the free game for June, or part of a catalogue? Have been out of the PS Plus loop since the year started
-
Looking to pick up a copy for the PS4 - and its more expensive than the PS5 version on amazon ffs Anyone have a better source?
-
From what I know its based on Joe Hill's (Stephen King's son) story. I've read a couple books by the man and do have faith in the material. If you go watch, do let us know how it is.
-
tomorrow is final day at theatres - and have snagged a couple tickets at Logix at 2:10 tomorrow, IMAX I actually like Chris Pratt and Bryce Howard in these - hope its fun. Don't expect it to blow my mind by any means of course.
-
Waited long enough but friends coming back home so will be going to watch Jurassic World in theatres next weekend. Any feedback, do I book IMAX or 4DX?
-
Oh absolutely. But audible and scribd make the time fly, I'm very happy getting through more books. Its only for 2 months, I'm interning here so I decided just to do it. Will def try and get placed/permanent job in Noida, plenty of offices along the expressway. Don't want more Gurgaon after this man. Highly recommend Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell - his version of the arthurian tale. The audiobooks by Jonathan Keeble are fantastic.
-
Have been commuting from Noida to Gurgaon via shuttle everyday for my internship, so I got a month of scribd to listen to audiobooks during 3-4 hours of commute time. Fantastic so far!

Watched it this morning. 10/10 movie experience, straight banger. Worth every f**king penny in IMAX. Like Bird, almost considering watching it again in 4DX this time, it was that good. Soundtrack was top notch, dialogue was quippy and concise, the jokes landed, the plot made sense, the love angle was well done but not overshadowing the rest, and the visuals. Oh lord, the visuals. No green screen, just sheer adrenaline from Tom Cruise and the team. Have enjoyed Miles Teller in everything he does, like him just as much in this. I was worried about a sequel 35 years down the line, worried they'd tank it and ruin the first one just to bank on 'Top Gun' name to get people running to the cinemas, but nothing to be afraid of for this was as perfect as a sequel can get. I can't say enough good things, and I don't remember the last time I had a cinema experience this good. Movie of the year for me so far, what a beautiful movie. Left the hall with a giant smile planted on my face. Enough gushing, go watch it in IMAX if anyone's still on the fence.
-
Booked noon show IMAX tomorrow. The entire hall was packed, and just 1 seat left top row for some reason. Love how this worked hahahaha I came in here right after booking IMAX. No worries its gonna be a stellar experience either way. I like it in movies like Jurassic Park, especially in all the scenes when you're being chased by giant scary dinosaurs and ruslting through trees and bushes. Tickets are already out, will be booking 4DX for the new Jurassic World early next month.
-
I was hoping to watch this weekend but my friend bailed. I've been waiting ever since the trailer, will go alone if I have to. Will book IMAX at Logix tomorrow. Hyped.

what laptop bag should I buy? have started going for work/internship and my college bag doesn't have a laptop sleeve or additional padding and I take public transport. Two criteria - 1. Laptop pocket (13" Macbook Air) 2. Looks stylish. Not looking for average looking bag, would look something stylish, leather would be pretty cool I guess.
