Aftrunner Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I am pretty sure I will enjoy the new Alien movie. I f**king LOVED Prometheus and if this one is as good then I am a happy camper. Will go this week if I have the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harsh1387 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Had Prometheus with me since ages and didn't see it. Finally saw it today cos will be seeing Covenant tomorrow. It's an ok movie, visuals are spectacular but too many gaps in the story and many questions remained unanswered.

Tyler Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I am pretty sure I will enjoy the new Alien movie. I f**king LOVED Prometheus and if this one is as good then I am a happy camper. Will go this week if I have the time. I kind of like Prometheus too so yeah you may get some mileage from it. However Ridley managed to screw up some elements from Prometheus too. Had Prometheus with me since ages and didn't see it. Finally saw it today cos will be seeing Covenant tomorrow. It's an ok movie, visuals are spectacular but too many gaps in the story and many questions remained unanswered. Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Covenant raises even more questions and very unsatisfactorily answers the ones from Prometheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixeljunkie Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Kangana Ranaut recently spoke about nepotism in bollywood in koffee with karan. Topics concerning Nepotism and Elitism are so incredibly complex that they can only be understood only after a lot of inward deliberation. You cannot expect the average human being to internalize complex behavioural patterns overnight. You can't wake up one fine morning and decide to smash somebody's head with these words. Nepotism and even Elitism existed in the Indian film industry well before i was born. It was the norm back then. Everyone was comfortable with how the industry was run back then. Back then nobody went out of their way to highlight that either Nepotism or Elitism were the norm. The problem is that India has become a much smaller place in the last few years. Mimicking western culture is not the same as comprehending it. This is why we Indians cannot understand the difference between a master-servant relationship and one that is of the employer-employee kind. If you understand what i'm talking about then you'll realise that it's not possible to completely eliminate Elitism/Nepotism. But carefully calculated measures can help wean a population off such complex attitudes. It may take years or even decades to do so but it is foolish to think we can pull it off overnight.

Ne0 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) IMO, one of the reasons that nepotism is so rampant in bollywood (or the indian film industry in general), is the lack of credible options for film makers to scout for talent. Movies are not really considered an art form to pursue like music or painting. So there're not any reputed colleges / institues per se, where one can pursue a degree in movie making like Engineering / Medicine. There are some film institutes in India, but not of the caliber or reputation of say IITs or NITs. Even though Indians enjoy movies, most families still consider being in the movie industry a taboo and scoff at people associated with it. Especially for girls aspiring to be part of the movie industry, I would imagine the situation to be even worse. On the other hand, the movie industry is not yet well run / managed as other industries , due to which there're still claims of rampant abuse/sexual harassment. I remember reading a "making of" book on sholay where the stunt director (who was imported from the west) was aghast at the lack of safety precautions used while shooting action scenes in India. Things may have improved now, but still, on the whole, if you see the movie industry is still ages behind when it comes to organizational culture and values compared to other established industries like IT or manufacturing. Believe it or not, in one of the interviews, one of the leading actresses claimed that the concept of contract came into existence in the movie industry only recently and until the 90s most actors/actresses used to work on word of mouth (not really sure how serious she was) ! Considering all the above, the best option for the filmmakers currently would be to actually pursue someone who can "get" them, who've already been around them, who've enough exposure to the do's and dont's of the industry etc., and the best place to look for them would be inside their inner circle ! But I see things to be changing. For ex: many actresses are former supermodels / ms. india etc, who are not related to the filmi families (ex: deepika, katrina kaif etc). I think , with the influx of reality TV, many singers/musicians are coming up as well (sunidhi chauhan, mona thakur etc) who're not related to film industry. Slowly things are gonna change in other aspects of film-making too, it would take time though ! Edited May 14, 2017 by Ne0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstationdude Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 There may be nepotism but it's not always been bad to be honest. We have a lot of talented actors such as Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Kapoor family,etc who entered the industry due to filmy links but have delivered. Even Prabhas entered the movie scene because of connections and influence but that does not take away from his talent. As far as Kangana Ranaut goes, she is a fine actress but she needs to realise she would never have been cast in movies if indian cinema only worked on nepotism. Once you are cast, it's also about luck. She was on the peak of her career when she was doing Mahesh bhatt movies , I did not see her complaining of nepotism then.

The term inner circle has largely been used in the context of the privileged and affluent. You should use reconsider your choice of words otherwise someone might misunderstand your intentions.

STICK3Rboy Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) King Arthur just f**king blew me away! It's electrifying, relentless and completely badass. It's movies like this that make me want to go to the theater again and again. Movies that give you an adrenaline shot direct to the chest. Ohh and it's definitely a Guy Ritchie movie through and through. It has his trademarks all over (more so than any of his recent movies, in fact) and I loved every bit of it. Also, a special mention to the amazing soundtrack which is suitably epic and actually adds a lot to the movie. Can't wait to see it again a couple more times! EDIT: I know this may sound like a criticism but the movie feels like a video-game at times.....in a good way.

pixeljunkie Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I've said "their" inner circle, meaning their friends/relatives/acquaintances.... But it has happened to me once again. I used only one word malleable which has somehow been taken out of context to describe a group of people. This word has been used in a largely negative context in India. So much that we that do not know that it can be used in a neutral context as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixeljunkie Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) For hope Pretty sure that SRK has seen his speech on YT. And i'm even more sure that he facepalmed after glazing over the comments section. When Hollywood was first invited to India someone should've included this line at the end of the introductory speech - "We welcome you into our country and our hearts misery...".
