With half of Calcutta going crazy with a ton of superhero movies, Avengers most recently, it seems people have forgotten what taste actually is. I saw the avengers and while it was a decent enough movie, people started comparing it to Nolan's Batman, why? probably because they can't believe how a great movie or a series Nolan has made and the inevitable comparisons will come with crap movies.
This just went to a whole new level this week, while people have been gearing up for the new Spidey flick, reboot as it is called. The reviews were quite positive, I did not read any American reviews about the flick so I don't have a clue as to what the other side of the Atlantic has to say about the flick.
Spidey is just as good as Batman, if not a better superhero at least in being more of a "human" with emotions et all. Hell a paper [ a leading paper] even came up with these 2 comic books fans having a long arsed debate which barely should have been covered in the first place because these comic geeks are only in it because super heroes is now a fad, especially with the new Batman movie and the reboot[ again I said it] of Superman by Nolan.
So the entire city was gaga with the new movie, reviews were good, hell the comparisons started and there were some idiots saying the movie had a more human, emotional element of Spidey which was missing from the last 2 spidey movies, Tobey versions.
The hall I went to was a family hall and I had a ton of kids running about and screaming about spidey but If I was in the normal halls I visit I would have been screaming my lungs out as to how lame a movie this is, by the interval I was completely brain dead and by the end of the movie, I knew I had amazingly wasted 2 hours of my life and this was probably one of the worst sueprhero movies I have seen.
Garfield, as the ladies say is cute but dear lord how have they massacred the movie, Peter Parker was a geek a nerd, someone who would not stand up for himself, ok lets fuck that all up, screw the comics and the canon and lets make him this stand out guy who stands out for right and all. Then the part of being an anchor for Aunt May, in this entire movie, Aunt May is shown for the exact amount of time as Irfan Khan, go figure, seems she was not an important character at all, and Irfan is there just for the Indian audience, they knew spiderman 3 was huge in India, so just put an Indian actor with a few lines and not an important role, hell even a blind man with no talent could have done that role.
Also this movie showed that being a superhero is easy as hell, PP [parker] easily makes his costume, his web device and all, no problems at all. And of course you DONT need a secret identity to be a superhero, in the movie, PP was without his mask with his suit on for almost all the fight sequences. Screw hiding the face, let every person in New York see what or who spidey really is.
The final bit that pissed me off is these sequences of Spidey and Connors, Connors post lizard has control over what he does and follows spidey, finds out it is Parker, again, you dont need to hide your identity do you? Follows him to school and tries to destroy him, which he fails with, the climax of the flick is just as lame , wont spoil that , go and watch it yourself to believe how lame and predictable it turns out to be.
Oh and being a Superhero movie, this is going to have a sequel, oh dear lord.
PS: This movie has had one of the best openings for a foreign flick in Indian screens, even beating the last great movie which was just as crummy but now looks like a far superior movie, Spidey 3. Roll on with the sequel.

Bong man
Credit must be given where its due, with a Diwali release of his new movie, SRGay has whored the entire campaign and made it almost seem like he is running for election, now don't get me wrong , its not like I don't like the guy and his complete whoring about even saying that he would be at a marriage for all 3 days for a whopping 7 crores, I fucking hate him, he is in a long list of hate that I have, one day I will fix it.
Coming back, this entire bit of the greatest , most expensive movie ever made pisses me off, I hope the movie is a dud, I hope he never comes back to act in the lead role of the movie, I hope he never gets another hit, I hope he never gets to dance seductively with female stars who are half his age and like a 100 times whiter than he is or could ever be, I hope he has a 16 pack flab and it would go on and on and on, the movie however has provided me with something to write about.
SRGay, Hrithik and Amitabh Bachan to an extent have all acted as the Indian superheroes, not Shaktimaan esque but still Krish, Shanhenshah etc etc etc all are portrayed as THE Indian superhero but the sad fact is that they are not even close to being Indian or and Indian superhero. Got me thinking, I always wanted to be a superhero like Nightcrawler or Cyclops from the X men or have the money of Bruce Wayne or the massive complexes that Deadpool has [ do check out Deadpool] or no super powers but complete wit like Constantine [ not the Keanu Reeves version but the graphic novels], sure all these ideas are fun but what would a typical bong super hero be like? Well here he is , Bong Man
Obviously the alter ego, [real name and all] will start with S, seems ever bong I know is named with an S, when the professor starts the name call with S , it goes on and on and on, if not S then certainly the name will start with A
He will have a mustache, a badly kept one and will be going bald but for some reason he will have massive pride with the little hair he has on the head, thou shalt not comb but thou shalt not bald gracefully either.
His "spinach" would be ilish maach [fish] with beguni [fried brinjals] rice and dal, nothing would keep him down after downing a meal like that, of course he would go off for a good long doze after the meal for an hour or so, then he would have 200% energy and kick some ass.
The clothing would be the typical government working chap wearing a faded old shirt and trousers, flip flops and a briefcase, unlike Iron Man who has his suit in a case he carries, Bong Man would have old papers and receipts of all the purchases he has made in his adult life.
And the briefcase would still be wrapped in the plastic it was bought in, he would never remove the plastic, that would keep it a virgin forever , if someone dares to touch the plastic, he would use his greatest power, make a pout and become sad.
Every superhero is known for his impeccable timing and that is a similar trait followed by Bong man, unlike his counterparts he will always be late to any situation with the same excuse, "traffic cheelo" or just not bother to give a reason and start off with that IST, Indian slow time or some shit, always there at the party but just to clean up the mess when no one is there, our beloved Bong Man.
However he would, like almost every bong think he is some smart bloke with an Iq of a 150 and he would also have a view on every topic possible, from politics, red, to the fiscal policies of Uganda , he is a person immaculate with the worlds happenings, just that he has no idea of what is to be said about each thing except either to agree with it or disagree and use the same points over and over again just twisting the words here and there.
Our hero would also have a huge pot belly, perfect for those long bus rides, since he believes in public transport being the best, a crowded slow bus which would stop every 10 meters to pick up one passenger, the conductor would go "Go on inside there is a lot of space still left" when there are like 20 people hanging by the foot board of the bus, with the bus inclined to its right and whenever it would make a left turn the left side wheels would rise up almost a few inches.
Our Bong man would enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, while he would stand right next to the female seats and give em a nice pelvic thrust with women screaming about "Gaye haath debe naa" [ Don't put hands on our bodies]
Another great ability would be of his to make sure that every great artist was bengali, from Tagore to Pierce Brosnan, from Kishore Kumar to Freddy Mercury, every one of them is bong and no one holds a candel to Tagore, no matter what field he or she is in.
But every great hero has its fallings, Bong man can never take part in a physical duel, he is too scared that his beautiful face will be shattered to a million pieces, a verbal duel? bring it on but proper fisticuffs? No fucking way.
Bong man is too lazy to do most things, and rather has a tendency to call for strikes at the smallest of reasons, he is part of a union where he is the head and he is the only member often complaining of low to no pay although he earns a salary greater than most middle class families live on, plus he gets subsidies.
Ah the Bong man, when shall we get the real bong hero we all want and deserve, maybe it is time for some one to rise up and take the challenge but then again, I bet he is too lazy to get up and make that costume I talked about.
Bong but not forgotten.
