Extras....Dostoevsky and Bheja Fry

Wonder if you ever noticed some of the so-called extra’s in any scene especially in ads and in movie scenes. By extras, i dont necessarily mean the lesser known actors but just those who are in the frame of action but not in the spotlight. Most times, i have found that the expressions on the faces of these people are so hilariously funny that its worth missing the real dialogue of the scene or the catch phrase of the ad to spot the look of cluelessness stamped on the faces of these chaps...

Khaasi : remember the guy in the Anchor toothpaste commercial that you brought our attention to once :))))

Just finished reading Crime and Punishment...its a nice book, i thought. But i must say that you have to read it to understand the starkness and at times hopelessness in atmosphere that the author is capable of creating...Definitely not light reading and I used to find a regular dose of PGW was needed to help negate some of the after effects that a book like this is capable of creating. A lot of good / bad things can be said about him but no one could accuse him of being a ray of sunshine, this Dostoevsky chap :))

Saw Bheja fry. Short, Funny and if you like characters, definitely a must – see :)) The I-T officer inspired by music may sound cliched but turned out to be a genuinely HILARIOUS character well acted out by Vinay. Kudos.

Peace,

Me.

P.S: I cant wait to see Spiderman- 3 !!!
