Musings of an Idiot

Snatch

Doesn't this look like the dog from 'SNATCH'???? Now where was the diamond again??? This was hilarious because the dog was standing outside the door of the shop and from a distance it looked as if he was window shopping.


These photos were taken on my trip into the city, when I went to have my meeting with Richard regarding the movie. Unfortunately Sri Pinang was closed, so could not get my fix of roti-cury, so we ended up at Rasoi eating some masala dosas - not as satisfying a lunch, especially when I was after that malaysian dish. On the way back I found a couple of pics - the first was a proverb written on the footpath and what an appropriate one too - not many people seemed to notice it but what a brilliant idea.


This following pic was me trying to capture the multi-layered motorway but instead drifted to this shot which I found fascinating because of the composition. Two people walking across a bridge but what looked like a walk across a concrete platform suspended in air.


I finally got around to watching, 'The Matador' - it was classic. Hilarious to the bone. Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear are spot on in their acting and the movie is perfectly paced and it achieves everything it sets out to do. The cinematography is beautiful and captures some moments so nicely. Ultimately the movie is about friendship above everything else and it has a satisfying end. A really good watch.

On the movie front - it is official - we have postponed the production of the movie by 3 months and we now plan to film in mid-september. This gives us enough time to fine tune the script and also raise more money for the movie. The task of raising money is a tad hard in NZ, especially since private sources of funding are far and few inbetween plus I don't get to know the results of this round of Screen Innovation Production Fund for another week and half (not really hopeful about it though). We have had awesome response from production companies who want to be part of the movie and we are currently negotiating deals with them. Irrespective of what happens with further funding, we are definitely going to make the movie this year. We passed the 'point of no-return' about three months back.

I took my car to get its Warrant of Fitness and it is going to cost me a few hundred bucks before it get's that. A sucker but there is no avoiding it. I will take leave for now.

Till later,
Amit
