The theatre and theDVD argument......



Okay, this blog is a simple chitchat session among the trio: myself, anni and ani.

Anni, as usual was playing some computer game when i entered the room.
Anni: Wait for a second, im almost done with this level......

Me: When will u grow up???u still play those first person shooter games....yuck...atleast reduce the volume ..... will u???

Anni: yeayeayeahh bigboy.....
He reduced the volume by such an amount that could be an interesting topic for nanoscientists.
After about 20mins,
Anni: Ok mr. im done.....got nythin to eat??im exhausted

Me: Whoa!!!exhausted??virtually huh??yeah..take these..
I offer him some wafers which iwas eating.
Anni: Thnx...so watsup...how was dark knight???

I had gone to my friends house to see dark knight, he had rented a DVD.
Me: Awesome movie maga....too gud to miss...

Anni: U guys dont know how to enjoy a movie....u just watch in some 21inch screen...what fun is that man???

Me: Huh... cut the crap....iatleast i dont MISS gud movies as u do...waitin to go to theatres which is a sheer waste of time....

Anni: Dude..ok i agree that going to theatres is pretty much a waste of time...but imagine the theatrical effects man....the bass, the wide screen, people whistling when hero enters....u cant get those by bringing a DVD to ur house. And moreover u dont even get good prints.....

Me: Who said that???most of the times u get very nice prints........nyway screw the quality macha, all u need is a story.... that is it...use a headphone if u want the bass...

Anni: U people are nuts man. No wonder your friend manoj says that some crap kannada movie ARAMANE is far better than peter jackson's LORD OF THE RINGS. And do u kno why hes of that opinion??he saw LOTR on his PC and aramane in a theatre. He was not impressed with LOTR's picturisation it seems....bull shit....

Anni was furious now, he doesnt like someone telling him that LOTR or HARRY POTTER is a fagwashed up fantasy story. The wafers in his hand were screaming for help. Ani entered the room when he heard anni more or less screaming.
He was busy talking to our friend Karthik over the phone.

Ani: What ma? heated argument session eh???
Me: Nothing new....the same old topic...watchin movies in theatres or renting a DVD.

Anni: Boss, wud u like to watch Die Hard 4 on some TV screen or in a theatre??
He asks Ani.
Ani: Obviously in a theatre....no doubt on that...
Anni looked at me almost loathingly, like umbridge staring at harry when he says that voldemort is back.

Me: Hey ani, watsup with karthik?
Ani: Oh karthik....hes busy jamming his elec guitar.....
Anni: Magane dont change the topic....win this argument or submit that u were talking crap all this time.
Me: Ha, no way ...
Now i had entered the boxing ring.
Me: Okay, accepting that theatres give u awesome effects and all, the question is at what price?you need to pay a minimum of 80 rs., that too if you go to the first show of the day else the prices rise exponentially. Its a whopping Rs.180 for the 7:00pm show.

Anni: So what?we can go to the first show..........80 rs is not too huge a amount!!

Me: And at what time does the show start???10:00am...u need to be at the forum or the garuda mall or wherever at around 9:00am to ensure urself a seat in the prestigious theatre. For that u need to get up at 5:00am, finish all your routine and leave the house by 7:30am.....ufffff i get tired even thinking of it....

Ani: Yeah man i agree with you, its definitely a mammoth task for a movie....
Anni was spellbound. He could not reply as he would usually do. You could easily tell that he was performing an intensive search in his brain.
Anni: U people are basically lazy.....u kno its healthy to get up early in the morning?

I and ani start laughing like maniacs, even anni joined us.
Ani: oooooooo, look whos saying this???a guy who follows GMT in india....ok, lets have dinner....
We laugh it out n goto dinner......

i think if its mostly an action based movie , the theater's a better option.
i guess dvds or theaters arent good enuf for anni's universe .. virtual reality machines might help!:)
