THE SHINING DARK OF THE MOON

Saw the movie on the first day of release, 29th June, and was able to just make it, because it was so crowded. Almost everyone from all age genres were there. There was a lot of fuss, and people were going for 3D, but more were going for 2D

The film, yes, the film has its moment. The film starts with a good detailed but a bit disoriented Cybertron, you will see what I mean. We are introduced to the new character Carly, the replacement for Makaila (Megan Fox) at the very start, but a bit abruptly. Mommy and Daddy Witwicky were there as well, I thought that Mommy Witwicky has a bit more mature character this time, but wrong again, you'll see. And then came the Autobots.......Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Iron Hide, Ratchet, SideSwipe, CliffHanger, Arcee and a mad scientist of an Aoutobot, I guess Jolt is there as well and a few new Autobots, a total of 9.

Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf), is brilliant as ever, especially his freaked out screams 'WwAAAAAA.......WWAAAAAAA..AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......Bumble Beeeeeeeeee!!'


But the most engaging character of the film is the Sentinal Prime. Kind of a father to Optimus Prime and the Einstein of his Planet. His character is very important, and transforms into his famous Fire Engine and you will be kind of relieved to hear that he is on Autobots and a very nice friend to Optimus.

The mostly beloved Lennox (Josh Dumahell) is team there as well, with Agent Simmons and his new assistant Dutch are fun to watch. the sequence of the wing-suits jump is brilliant.You might come to  know that how widespread the network of these robots is in our world as suggested in the 2nd movie. There are a few scenes in the movie that would stun you for a while, as was everyone in the movie theater. they were like 'o' for quite a few minutes. When you see those scenes to have a look around at everyone's faces and I assure you that you'll enjoy.


The thing that I didn't liked about is that they deliberately used the Iranian Flag in a sequence that many people would find offensive. There wasn't any need to show that.

The CGI is brilliant, some sequence would give you goosebumps. But, critics are saying that there was a lot of CGI involved, but what they are forgetting is that more than 50% of the main characters are Robots. I dont know why they forget such detailed points while critisizing.

You might see a few loose ends in the movie but overall the movie is great. I would give it a B+.  I could have written the whole synopsis here but that would be spoiling the movie. Please do go and see the movie as you might be missing one of the best cinema sensation of all time.

UFO MOTHERSHIP IN LONDON, UK ON JUNE 24th 2011

Well, Londoners seem to be in action on Friday when the partly cloudy skies of UK became host of White glowing disc like objects or UFOs with a mother ship That came around a few times from the clouds to show her beauty  and maybe to call her baby objects/ships, saying 'Time to go home boys'  ;).
The first time I saw the video, I said 'Ha! FAKE!'. But then after watching a few times more and seeing the random passing by people stopping and looking up as there is actually something and the fact that the movement like such has to be some sort of hovering object made me realize that it could be real. Here is the video



Yeah it sort of looks like fake, for the fact that, why did the cameraman walked to the edge of  the road where everyone else was watching. But then I thought that I should have done the same thing. To avoid being called fake. He/she came to the busiest part of the road to let the viewers know that hey! I am not the only delusional bloke over here. And surely many people started to look up by every passing second.

What? Not convinced? I wasn't either. But then another video from some other part of London captured the same Objects on camera. Watch this





You can hear the Japanese people back there saying something quite fast and saying something like Look at that. Now I though that hey! maybe it is for real,

So still to  prove some reliability to the news, I thought that maybe someone else had captured it as well, other than the people in the above videos. So, I got another one. Same day, and of course in London



Now, maybe many of you had changed your mind, accepting that maybe it is real. But in these time when you can make movies like Transformers :) (going to see it on Thursday 30th June). You can make a few object appear in the sky easily. I am still doubtful, but just by 20% that it could be fake....but still I have a few questions from the person, who made the first video.

WE CAN SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKING VIDEOS AT THAT TIME....WHY DID ONLY THIS VIDEO COMES ONLINE...IS HE/SHE HAS A LOT OF EXTRA TIME (10 MINUTES) TO GO ONLINE AND UPLOAD HIS VIDEO WHILE OTHERS THINK ON THE CONTRARY. WHERE ARE THE OTHER VIDEOS??

WHY NOT SELL IT TO SOME NEWS CHANNEL??

IS HE/SHE AFRAID THAT THEY MIGHT GET CAUGHT OF SELLING EDITED/FAKE VIDEO?

You might come to know in a few days that it was a combined project of some fanatics who randomly shot the skies of Landon from different places and then edited it. You might not!

And maybe after getting a 100,000 views or more, some people would come out Claiming to have made these videos, using adobe or some other software.

But there are some people who are determined that IT IS REAL!!. Here is one video in which one person ran the video through different color filters and claims that the video is in no way edited, because there are no rough edges in the mother ship. Clock on the video to go to youtube to read what the guy has to say on the filtered results.

Oh alright, am feeling a bit generous, here you go, here is the link as well.

color filtered alien mother ship 'o'




This might help a bit. You see in such filtered videos, any computer generated graphics especially round objects tend to show polygonal characteristics, like hexagonal or octagonal shapes. You can see yourself that there aren't any distinctive edges of the mother ship. Hats Off to this guy, to go through the pain of filtering the video!.

Well its upto you now to decide if its fake or real. I actually hope that one day we are actually attacked by Aliens so that the world gets united once again and stand on one common ground, even if it happens for the one last time (Independence Day the movie). Ooooh! 4th of July is coming as well.

Just kidding people. No seriously, it would be fun right? ;)

WE ARE LOSING AXIS HERE!!

According to the Italian-based National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck Japan in March, caused the axis of  our planet to shift by approximately ten centimetres. Experts believe that "this has [shifted] the axis of rotation of the Earth [further] than the 2004 earthquake in Sumatra."


According to La Nación, the impact of the Japanese earthquake caused an energy release one hundred times larger than that of the one in Haiti. Leading the research at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Antonio Piersanti stated that "[o]ur estimate is not derived from direct measurements, which require much more time, but theoretical calculations.”
Richard Gross, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, was responsible for discovering the extent to which the planet's axis hd been shifted by the Chile Earthquake in 2010. He claimed that there "should be no impact [from] this change in rotation on daily life."
Gross explained: "Although we have not evaluated the measurements of the Earth's rotation, my calculations indicate that the change in the distribution of land masses caused by the Japanese earthquake may have caused the Earth to rotate a little faster, shortening the length of day about 1.6 microseconds." He said that despite the fact that "[t]his change in the position of the axis of rotation will cause the Earth to wobble a bit different[ly] as it rotates," the planet's axis would not alter in Space.
The source is an Spanish paper related to the Japanese earthquake, but the point of writing all this here is that if one earthquake of 8.9 can change our axis point, we should not forget that earth is millions if not billions of year old. And also, have you ever seen a dangling chair? That dangles on just one foot for some time, balanced, would be an appropriate word, and then.....Bam! it topples down. What if earth has a limit as well? What if earth might is a meter away from toppling? They say that the Chilean and the Haiti earthquake affected the earth’s axis. What if a few more of these.... and we are done for it. It’s just some food for thought for you people. Ask your government to look into it, before it is too late

Pirates of Somalia

Last week, a ship known as MV Suez, was freed from the Somalian Pirates after 10 months. Around 21 people were fugitive of these pirates in the Mediterranean. All the fugitives had lost their hope in their governments as the pirates had demanded a ransom amount of $2.1 million and no one thought they should spend some of their leisure money on these poor fellow earthlings. 21 people and $2.1 million, a hundred thousand dollar for each person, but no one was willing to pay for them, not any NGOs either.



But suddenly, out of the blue, a country considered to be harvesting terrorists, giving a hideout for Osama, stood up to save these poor human beings from the agony. The rescue was a combined effort of a welfare organization, the government of Sindh and Pakistan Navy. The Welfare organization 'Ansar Burney Trust' gathered $2.1 million in 10 days and freed the fugitives, what should have been done 10 months ago by any government of the world, Indian, Egypt or considerably US or UK, the Pioneers of Humanity. But, it was done by the government that had just suffered a Rs. 6 billion loss on 22nd of May, 2011 and is spending a lot fighting terrorism as well.

But look at the Irony. The countries that asks the Pakistani Government to do more against terrorism is fighting against just one dictator in Libya. Rather than going against these pirates for killing and robbing people on ships, which is, in simple words an Open Act of Terrorism, who still have more than 20 ships captured and are due for the ransom, they opt to spend billions of dollars, fighting off one man in one country. Instead of bombing these pirates in open sea, they think its better to bomb a city with innocent civilians in it. Recently 9 innocent civilians by the air assualt on Libya.

All we can do or should do is to request the officials of these governments to look upon this pirates problem and try to completely obliterate these Terrorists of the face of the sea and do something about these 20 above ships that are still under the control of these pirates. It wont even kill a single civilian and for once the world might be united for one cause.

Watch Out For The Full Moon

Alright everyone, keep your eyes on the skies today, cause today an event is going to happen that is not seen for over a century.

Its not going to be a meteor shower nor a UFO is passing across our skies. Its a Total Eclipse of the Moon. So whats so important about this eclipse. Well for one, its a Total Eclipse, which means that the Moon is going to be swallowed completely into darkness. Its going to start at 1400 GMT and Last till 0000 GMT. The other noticeable thing about this eclipse is that its going to be a 1 in century eclipse. Yes this is going to be the longest Eclipse (w.r.t time) of this century.

So all you space enthusiasts, feel lucky that you are not going to die before something good and worth watching happens in Space. I on the other hand wish that I am alive till the Halley's comet arrives (2065) :).


Peace People Peace \m/

P.S. It's started, what are you waiting For!

Looks Like I Missed One!

Last week i wrote about the new summer blockbusters for 2011. I discussed five movies, but I guess I missed one that mu mind said that might fail to impress. Boy was I wrong! I m talking about the new J J Abrams and Speilberg cocreation 'Super 8'


Set in 1979, "Super 8" tells the story of a group of kids who are filming a home movie when there's a violent train crash. When unexplained events start to threaten their town, they begin to suspect something inhuman escaped from the train. The film stars Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler, Ryan Lee, Riley Griffiths, Gabriel Basso and Zach Mills.

he period sci-fi pic -- directed by Abrams and produced by Spielberg -- officially rolls out Friday in 3,379 theaters, following sneak previews at 329 locations Thursday. Amid decidedly muted advance buzz, its performance this weekend is the subject of heated speculation among insiders.

Paramount, which maintains that the $50 million film doesn't need a big opening weekend, is predicting a debut in the $25 million to $30 million range. It will vie for honors with "X-Men: First Class," which debuted last weekend to $55.1 million. The superhero sequel enjoyed strong midweek business, with a total of $69.9 million through Wednesday.

The film might have earned a lot more if proper advertising or promotion was done. The film is mysterious in regards to story and the way its earning

Whats with NewZealand

It is understood that as the time will pass the frequency of earthquake's occurrence would increasing. But whats wrong with the beautiful country of New Zealand? 
New Zealand had faced a number of Earthquakes this year. Especially its one of the biggest cities like Christ church.


A series of strong quakes, including a 6.0-magnitude tremor, rocked New Zealand's stricken Christchurch Monday, causing one building to collapse and prompting evacuations.

Power company Orion said electricity had been cut to 54,000 homes. The US Geological Survey measured the latest quake at a depth of nine kilometres (5.6 miles) and some 14 kilometres from the country's second largest city.

It is a common perception that Japan would be the one country that would be wiped off of the face of the world due to Earthquakes, but to me it looks like New Zealand thats gonna vanish (I wish that never happens). Scientist should now start investigating the reasons for these medium to strong range of earthquakes. Four Months ago NZ faced huge tremors and 181 people were killed. Then another earthquake within 4 months (with some small to medium scale tremors in between before this one) is quite alarming.

All you people in NZ. Peace! and be Safe!
