Survivor: the Saddam Edition

Shame it is not the sweeps, otherwise CNN-FOX-MSNBC might actually get some real viewers. Still the idea of watching the boob-tube knuckleheads and segment loops is not that exciting.

The Most Boring (Cricket) World Cup

That is what rediff.com is reporting even though I disagree - for if you are India fan, then you know that your blood pressure is rising all the time. Rediff writes: “Barring the India-Pakistan duel on March 1, which was a reasonably close affair because the Pakistanis hit up a total (273/7) that took some [...]

The murky truth about the Oscars

Om Malik, Wednesday, March 19, 2003 at 9:03 AM PT Comments (0)

For the longest time I wondered how the nominations for best foreign films are included in the Oscar nominations.

The Sydney Morning Herald :: Wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara accepted the catch, bowler Aravinda de Silva appealed, umpire Rudi Koertzen ruled “not out”. And batsman Adam Gilchrist walked. In a display of honesty rarely seen on international cricket fields - much less during World Cup semi-finals - Gilchrist terminated his innings in the fifth over of [...]

Guru’s great?

FHM:: The enticement of Heather Graham starring as a porn star alongside the lovely Marisa Tomei should ensure man-arses pack seats at cineplexs each time this gentle comedy is played.
