Why become a fan if you have no idea??????

First of all my heatrfelt congratulations to the SLUMDOG crew especially to Mr. Rehman and Danny Boyle..........Seriously it feels quite good that someone from India actually won a Globe.......an event that has honestly been dominated by American and British actors.....not that i have a problem with that coz i jus cant imagine Kate Winslet, Leo. DeCaprio and Anner hathaway at our Filmfares.....well not at this juncture...............

Ok so this post is going to be about a weird trend that I've encountere for quite some time....well as long ive been on Social Networking Sites(you dont wanna know my opinion about them.....and i dont want debates on my already crappy blog).......Well the trend is pretty irritating i tell you......It goes like this, just when "something" becomes immensely popular or is overhyped in the newspaper or any other form of media.....everybody suddenly has to join the community or become a FAN of a group based on that "something".........EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS ABOUT...........ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!

This is where Slumdog Millionaire jumps in......it so happened that quite a no. of my friends became fans of three different SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE groups........I mean WHAT CRAP???? Ok goood that a movie based on India, Mumbai especially is doing so well and getting international acclaim.....BUT i ask these friends of mine......HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT THE MOVIE??????........FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD ITS NOT EVEN BEEN RE4LEASED HERE (*IRONICALLY ENOUGH)!!!!!.......atleast see the movie first, think about it and then become a fan of the group.......I bet ppl became fans of Ghajini in the same way............And honestly how can ppl even treat these 2 movies in a similar fashion....well as far as becoming a fan is concerned???????

Im sorry i just hate pseudo popularity and NO BRAINERS like this trend............It just F!CKING pisses me off...................

Just like one leading newspaper mentioned "Slumdog.....is like every other bollywood movie just made for the Hollywood audience"....well does that include having a plot which is actually intelligent?????? And by this im not sayin that all bollywood movies have intelligent plots.........some of them really do!!!!!!! Or all Hollywood plots are intelligent. Theyre definitely NOT......but they at least try to make some sense!!!!!!!

And please you dont have to agree on this one with me.....i can definitely fight out my argument well enough............

Come to think about it....intelligent plot or not.....its because of ppl. like my friends that any film fraternity rake in the MOOLAH!!!!!!!!!!!
