Montages...

... make it all look so easy and quick.

I tried to clean up a room, supported by "Eye of the Tiger". It takes FOREVER, no matter how many camera angles you try to simulate. Also, tried studying in various positions with quick changes of serious expressions, around the room, while "The Final Countdown" played in the background. Music's over, and I'm still as clueless as before. Movies fake it up for you!

In other news, maybe I need to stop using cheesy '70s anthems in my montages.

You'll be happy to know that the Final Countdown was an 80s hair band anthem.. thank you very much.

The best montage song to do this to is Yeh Jo Silli Silli Aundi Hai Hawa by Hans Raj Hans. Song's slow enough to go hours :)

Thanks for the update, Bjorn

Imagine doing a " cleaning up the house " montage to that song. I'd feel like a teary bai in an art film, surrounded by mops and suds.

I'm confused. Did you actually film yourself cleaning and then try to edit it into a montage? (if so, boy, you need a life).. or were you pretending to be in a montage while you cleaned, because its fun to pretend?

Cleaning is hard labor, man. But I'm really good at it. And it feels good when you're done. Maybe I should offer my services to others and charge money for it. Could be a nice side business.

Ok just for kicks, replace the word "cleaning" in the above paragraph with "sex"..

HAHAHA :P

.....Of course I was pretending.

(chucks cases of multiple VHS tapes into garbage)

in other news, who uses VHS anymore?

Hmm I do have a VCR but I only use it to watch Andaz Apna Apna which I sadly only have on tape and not on DVD :/

BTW I propose that we all get together in NYC some weekend next month. We'll crash at Vish's, watch AAA, make some music, crack dutty jokes and dance to cheesy songs (P's broken back permitting). We might even go out and enjoy the NYC nightlife if we have the time. What say? :D
