Keerthi forwardded me this proposed opening schedule of Kalaignar TV. While this is not the finalised schedule for the opening weekend, the who’s who of kollywood can be spotted already and I am skeptical if there will be any entertainment left for the coming days/weeks.

By the way(everyone writes BTW these days so this is just for a change), Kalaignar.tv, KalaignarTV.com, KalaignarTV.in and KalaignarTV.co.in are all already booked by cybersquatters. They are the most obvious names for the Kalaignar TV domain and I dont think the management is making attempts to book them.

Also Raj TV has no news about Kalaignar TV on their site. Makes me think if the media houses in Tamil Nadu are just too engrossed in entertaining people that they forget a huge business market exists for them outside of the country.

Getting ready for the holiday season

amazon remodeled

Not me but Amazon is. Their remodeled site went live today and it looks a lot cleaner from all the clutter before. This is probably their first biggest re-design in the last 5 years.

The US holiday season will kick-start in a just a couple of months and Amazon should be getting ready with their big-plans, just like the last year.

It looks like LCD HDTVs(not the boring plasmas or rear projection stuff) are going to enjoy huge pricecuts during this holiday season. My guess(just my stupid guess) is that 42″ LCD HDTVs with 1366 x 768 resolution will be available during the Black Friday for as low as $550 – $600, pre tax. Wait for the holiday season and if my guess goes right, send me a box of rava ladoos.

Prasanna‘s next short film, ART. The film is a review by itself. Hence no review for this short except for an adjective, brilliant.

ஹும் ஹும்..உள்ளேன் !!

ஒண்ணு எழுது இல்லாகட்டி இழுத்து மூடு என்றெல்லாம் அன்பர்கள் மெயில் அனுப்பியதால் கொஞ்சம் பயந்து போய் இந்த ‘உள்ளேன் அய்யா!!’ பத்தி. இத்தனை நாளாய் எழுத கூடாது என்று எண்ணமில்லை. எழுத விஷயமிருந்தும், நேரமில்லாமையும், நேரமில்லாமையும் மற்றும் நேரமில்லாமையும் தான் காரணங்கள். நேரமில்லை ஒரு நொண்டிச் சாக்கு என்று சிலர் சொன்னாலும், அது தான் காரணமாயிருக்கும் போது என்ன சொல்வது என்று தான் தெரியவில்லை.

படித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் புத்தகம், Fight Club எழுதிய சக் பலெனிக்கின்[Chuck Palahniuk] ராண்ட். கடைசியாய் பார்த்த நல்ல படம், மெல் கிப்சனின் அப்போகாலிப்டோ. இனி எழுத நினைக்கும்(கவனிக்க – ‘நினைக்கும்’) சில விடயங்கள் –

– கடைசியாய் படித்த ‘அந்த’ புத்தகம்.
– பார்த்த அற்புத/சில ‘அதி அற்புத’ படங்கள்.
– சென்னை விஜயம்.

ஆக இன்னும் சரக்கு தீர்ந்து போய்விடவில்லை. Hang on, BRB !!

Shoo !!

Can’t stand the comment spammers. Closing all the comments and synching the stylesheet with kirukkal.com.

Spammers get the hell out of this place. Shoo !!

P.S – Hee Hee.. !! The comments are enabled again. A dear friend vows that a captcha will prevent all the spambots. I am skeptical if a captcha will eradicate all of them, given the fact there are 100s of comment spams here everyday.

Have plugged in a captcha provider. Take more pain and type in two more extra words when you make a comment. Let’s see how this thingy works.
