Hype, Undeserved.


Daniel Radcliffe cannot act to save his dog's life, let alone his own.

I fail to comprehend how the casting buggers could go so wrong in choosing the best actor for the lead role in one of the world's greatest franchises. The Harry Potter books were a huge rage, all credits to Rowling, because as Gary Oldman put it, "She succeeded in pulling away the kids from all the Playstations and Gameboys and X-boxes and she made them do something their parents could scarcely believe: read a book."

I still remember the time I spent reading first 5 installments, it was one hell of a ride, and I was immature enough to lap it all up. I remember cheering in the middle of a classroom free-period when I was reading through the paragraph where Harry gets his Firebolt (kinda like Ferrari in broom terms), and trust me its not something that I'm proud of. But by the time the 6th and 7th installments were out, I was pretty tired of all the Quidditch and 'He-who-must-not-be-named routine' and I was totally into American Pie. :D

Anyways, going by the way the Lord Of The Rings was filmed, you would expect a decent line-up and a good director at the helm to do justice to the book's values. But NO, all you get is Chris Columbus and some lame-ass kid who looks like Harry Potter, but has the acting skills of a troll on dope. Daniel Radcliffe is so not Hollywood material..! Seriously, he makes Ashton Kutcher look like Al Pacino. And anybody who's atleast seen the trailer of 'Dude, Where's My Car!' will know what I mean.

Radcliffe is just one of these guys the chicks dig, just because he's the kind of loser guy every girl wants for a boyfriend, because they can always take the upper-hand in relationship issues. Girls love trying to dominate men, and thats not gonna happen in most cases. Thats why you don't see girls going gaa-gaa over Tyler Durden and Steve Stifler (!). And thats why you see more and more of these dude-guys-who-can't act-to-save their lives category.

There's Daniel Radcliffe (HP), Orlando Bloom (the Hollywood Abbas), Abbas (ya, that dude in all those side roles), Zac Efron (High School Musical...Ezzhh), Tom Cruise (seriously, the guy can't act) and Ashton Kutcher (he married Demi Moore!).

I see more and more of these guys cuz my sister pollutes the sanctity of my household by watching Disney Channel 24*7, and thats where all these fellows originate from. With shows like Hannah Montana and High School Musical, any self-respecting Government should ban such channels in their country. Or atleast create employment opportunities because jobless souls like me are lured by sheer boredom to watch the ongoing crap out there.

Makes me wonder if Hollywood is the same film industry that bred actors like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton, Russell Crowe and the rest. I guess a lot of unnamed potru gethu actors are still pending from my list, but you know there are, so free... for now the pluses seem to outweigh the minuses anyway.

This post has nothing to do with the fact that Daniel Radcliffe is English. Also nothing to do with the fact that except for Gary Oldman, some random scientists and Sid Vicious, I hate their whole race altogether. Bleddy Worst Mokka Fellows.

And I haven't done any Anish-bashing for this post yet. Well the fact that we spent two whole years creating Ultimate Harry Potter quizzes ought to qualify for that slot. And the fact that he read Order Of The Phoenix seven times just to figure out some minor detail I must have missed so that he could cleverly outsmart the reigning champion(me!) to win the title ought to fill that slot too. He never found out any question I didn't have an answer to. And that doesn't make me look too good either :p.

Ezhh.. Worsst... Free :D

@ GS

hamilton sucks. that only proves my theory bout englishmen. world champion lam osi win... if Glock slows down osi-ly like that even i'll overtake him in my TVS. Massa deserved to win, man. free..

and the whole deal with mE N Englishmen is that:
a) i hate the fact that they are always overhyped... be it movies, football, cricket, f1... watever.

b) i hate monarchies. and queen elizabeth is jus an old hag.

c) their cuisine sucks, their weather sucks, their accent sucks. over scene, under-achieving cunning buggers.

free..

I dunno what all the hype is about actually cuz i have never had the heart to read or watch an HP movie fully.

Good gig on Abbas..and tom cruise can laugh better than he acts.

I dunno who Gary old man is but my old man had a drink too many and in his garru he said He'd rather watch Harry farter and the kidney stone..courtesy Mad magazine

Ok so anees has this ability to make up amazing quizzes..oh and btw the guy's equally good with friends too. But i guess the credit for that goes to that Vishal dude.

those Potter quizzes wer potru gethu... lol.. Anish and I got kinda acquainted thro HP only..

i was talkin to my pal bout how HP was so kick-ass, and then from nowhere this massive kid in specs from the corners of the classroom comes over to me, extends his hand and says in his usual peeter accent

"Hey m Anish, m a fan of Harry Potter too. Nice to meet you."

he always talked like a gentleman. my normal response wud hav been "whatever dude, grab a seat"

he had a childish face, so i said "hi da"

lol... the thing with british teams is... regardless of any sport, they hype up their team to enormous extents, and ALWAYS manage to either fail to qualify or lose.
