		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;finally some Indian guy that gives me advice on Bollywood movies!!&lt;/i&gt;
Well you got the wrong man, I rarely watch movies. :P

Well the thing is, the clothes shedding is mainly the focus of the film... which is bad. Most youth go to watch these movies to see the girls strip.

&lt;i&gt;I will watch Rang De Basanti, although I am more for mindless comedies in this period, since I think too much.&lt;/i&gt;
Well then I&#039;m your man. I rarely watch serious stuff [unless its good] because it tries to emulate life. Same reason I hate &quot;real-life&quot; games because I play these games to get away from life and these just make me do it one more time. :D]]></description>

finally some Indian guy that gives me advice on Bollywood movies!! I asked Poonam so many times ..... ;-) (but I&#039;ll admit she wrote two posts on that).

&lt;em&gt;I’m better off watching my favourite mindless comedies than soft porn&lt;/em&gt;
Hey, what d&#039;ya mean, that you prefer porn the hard way???  ;-) ah ah ah. Kidding, what I&#039;m saying is that on the whole, despite any flaw one can notice, I do not see such decadence in Bollywood and vomiting stuff ...
I&#039;m referring mainly to violence, but not only; as far as porn or sex, I have written posts on sex at the times of the Romans. What I find not good in today&#039;s depiction of sex is that it most of the time shows how much we are repressed. Porn for example is degrading, while sex should be a joy. Something is then wrong, and this fits in this picture of decadence (I read somewhere that in Egypt they have recently forbidden even kissing in movies... Islam can be strict, this seems more a reaction to nowadays movie trends etc.). Very difficult topic in any case.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I spend my money to watch a story, all these films have is some lousy story and the emphasis on chicks and a hot song. :/ I&#039;m better off watching my favourite mindless comedies than soft porn. :P 

Rang De Basanti is a GREAT film, but its only watchable one time. You&#039;ll be able to find it mostly, since its quite new. If you like comedies, try finding Hera Pheri or Hungama, two of the best Indian comedies.. but yeah they&#039;ll be harder to find. :)]]></description>

What can be so wrong about chicks shedding clothes and kissing lol. In US movies they do not shed clothes so much (because America is puritanical as regards sex) but they are so full of perverted violence and sadism one feels like puking. And we tend to imitate them, violence rising in our country too. Rang de Basanti? I’ll have to find it. Thanks for the tip, dude.]]></description>
