White Collar

It's been over half a year since I entered the corporate world complete with politics, deadlines and late nights. Frankly, I'm not impressed. But that does not mean I take the employees in my company (who - most of them aware of this irony - sell products most of them can never afford) to be sad people.

Exactly the opposite. They are far far braver than me - I am positively inadequate before them. Most of them enjoy their job. It is, after all, hardly the worst company to end up in.

With one qualification: if you have bigger dreams (as I do), not even a Forbes 100 will satisfy you nor bring you anywhere close. And that is why I will be leaving unsatisfied.

Battle for Terra

Terra is a sci-fi epic in draft. Steamrolled a few months back under the weight of Wolverine et. al, its running time, execution and even script does not do the story underlying it justice.

Visuals are somewhere upon the spectrum of spectacular to so-so, but the dialogue and pacing I must single out for making Lucas look like a playwright.

Now, if only there was enough money and a decent execution to turn it into the live-action CGI epic it was intended to be. Oh wait, that's Avatar* (which this movie shares many themes with).

*No, I am not obsessed about Avatar. It's just a big, massive, expensive 3D CGI epic by James Cameron, is all.

Minimal

There is not a lot to write as all my words are being directed to assignments and thoughts in my head.

Deadlines loom again and I sigh.
