I got to see the Director's Cut of Tropic Thunder today. Its been a while since I've seen a movie as funny as this one. There's nothing that could describe the amount of creativity and pure comedy that's been poured into this movie.


The story is pretty simple, there are these actors whom are almost at the end of their careers. One is a comedian, one is a rock star, one is oscar winner, and one is a rapper, and a few others tag along. They are try to make a great war movie like Platoon but the director gets overpowered by all these mega-star divas on set, so he decides to put them in the real thing to get them to act properly. But the stars think its a movie set, until its too late. Robert Downey Jr. was nothing short of hilarious in this movie, I was laughing my ass off the whole time.





Check out the trailer below :

Definitely recommended.

Despite the mass amounts of work I currently have to do, I've still managed to make some quality time for a little something I like to refer to as 'video games'.

Indeed, I've somehow been sucked into the wonder that is my PSP and N-gage on the N96 I'm currently reviewing. And while I've enjoyed such fare as ONE and Brothers in Arms on N-gage and a few other games on my PSP, it wasn't until I devoured a demo of Star Wars : Force Unleashed last week that I felt the gaming bug really get it's claws into me.

The latest demon in my house is ONE on N-gage, which is the rare game that I enjoy beating the crap out of random strangers, moving the story forward. Kinda short game though, but what would you expect out of a mobile game ? I've honestly no time for console gaming anymore. I even have a spankin new GeForce 6200 (The only "new" gfx card compatible with my aging motherboard) that I have yet to take out for a test run. Running Vista isnt much of a test run so that doesnt count. Maybe I'll download Age of Empires 3 and give it a go. Meh.

Once again, I am a video game junkie and I'm rather proud of the fact.

Have y'all seen the trailer for Gears of War 2 ? Holy shizz its so tempting to get an Xbox360 nowadays. Esspecially as Tekken 6 is coming to it and it was the only game tieing me to the PlayStation, really.

As a small aside to the Indian armed forces, if you'd like to increase recruitment, I can almost guarantee that adding a chainsaw to the guns in your videos and posters will do the trick.

Everyone likes a chainsaw gun.

(that last part was said using my best Marcus Fenix voice)

A new trailer for next summer’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has made its way to the Internets … behold:





While I'm not a HUGE HP fan, I can’t get over how dark the whole movie looks … I mean, I understand why but … if the movie is actually this dark in the theater, it’s gonna make for a gloomy time at the movies. I’m still very much interested in seeing Half-Blood Prince when it hits theaters next July … I guess maybe I'm looking forward to all the gothiness.

So yesterday Roshan, Ami and a couple of their friends and I headed to Mangalore to watch the new James Bond flick , The Quantum of Solace .

13112008125 - Share on Ovi



Egads thats one great movie. I mean sure it isnt as amazing as The Dark Knight or Ironman, but it holds its ground. Starts off with a nice car chase getting you into the gritty action right away.

Daniel Craig is by far, the toughest James Bond yet, and this movie is filled with rough fight scenes and him getting beat up at every turn. The movie is very raw with a sense of relentless revenge that Bond is seeking after.

I had high expectations for this movie after Casino Royale’s big band and twisty plot. But without spoiling anything, in this movie, Bond is a lone man on a mission and no one can stop him. Its so hectic that you keep trying to piece things together, and at the end of it you keep thinking that there should be more. I was a little dissapointed with the story. It didn’t really satisfy me completely, yes, but is it worth watching ? Hell yeah !

Its worth it just to see Craig’s fully-formed Bond: angry, icily unsentimental, and fleetingly borderline psychotic at the close.

Its definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be. But I do agree with the Bourne-new-Bond comparisons. This movie takes Bond in the same direction as the books so they were just following it afterall. There's no typical James Bond gadgets or cars that shoot missles and what not. There's no Q. Just all Bond.

Still liked it though. I cant believe how Daniel Craig made it out of that movie alive, after doing all those stunts himself.


I went to the movie with Ami, Roshan and a friend of theirs who's name I forgot as soon as they introduced me. You cant expect much more of me really :P

Uday was nice enough to take us in his car. We all chipped in for petrol ofcause.

And as usual, wherever there's Uday, there's his faithful sidekick Vishal :

Ah. Fun times.

We ended up being an hour early for the show (Srsly how often does that happen?) so we basically walked around the Bharat Mall in Mangalore mindlessly to waste time.

Here's Ami and Roshan being crazy in a Sports Store :

After we conquered every shop in the Mall, we headed to the top floor to check out the food court.

13112008115 - Share on Ovi

Now THIS is a food court ! Makes the one in Manipal look so boring. There was Chinese food, Indian food, Junk food, you name it. All slightly overpriced at Food court prices but that wasnt very surprising anyway. The Food Court over at the Empire Mall in Mangalore is way bigger and pricier and even has a very KFC-ish restaurant in there somewhere.

There was even a restaurant who's sole purpose was Soda-Floats. They had this very cool vintage lookin Pepsi Float Machine :

13112008121 - Share on Ovi

Ah those were the days eh ?

After all this I came across the name and logo of the Food Court. Its called "Timeout" which is a pretty aite name (they could have done a lot worse), but the funny thing is it has a random picture of a basketball as its logo.

13112008123 - Share on Ovi

Looks like they expect you to related the "court" part of "Food Court" to a "Basketball Court".

Do you get it now ? Ah it took me a while too.

By then it was time to watch the movie, after which it was pretty late in the evening. The guys all wanted to go to the Liquid Lounge bar to get piss drunk, and since they were my ride, I tagged along to watch the fun.

Vishal had a really good time getting drunk :

Meanwhile, lil'ol sober me was quite content with my Gatorade. ITS THE SPORTS DRINK YOU KNOW YOU WANT !

Ofcause eventually the Gatorade got to me :

Freakkin out maaaaaan.

Here's another pic of Ami, Roshan and me being dazzled by the camera's flash :

13112008252 - Share on Ovi

Sigh. Good times. We finally left the place at about 11:30 pm after Vishal had a brief homosexual encounter with a stranger. Ah that Vishal.

I think I'm getting too old to partay nowadays. Or maybe I was just way too tired that day because it was my first "day out" since my Malaria spell. Meh. The big two-three approaches ! I'm so not ready for it.

Eeeeek !

The Taj Mahal, Agra - Share on Ovi
(At the Taj Mahal, Agra)


About me ?

Well let see. I go by the name Clinton Jeff. My friends call me Cj for short. I live in a small town called Udupi (also spelled Udipi) which is right next to a student town called Manipal. I moved here from Kuwait, where I was born and bought up, to do my engineering in Computer Science and completed that at the time I started this blog. I also had a brief stay in Bombay (now Mumbai) during my childhod years because of the Gulf War that struck Kuwait.

I know Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo and 30 other dangerous words..

I’m a pretty fun-loving, even-keeled guy once you do get to know me. I'm pretty laid-back (i.e. lazy) and I have a pretty insane sense of humor, which results in some very awkward situations. I like listening to music, watching movies (sci-fi/horror and hell… various anything else), going out to dinner, hanging out with friends doing everything and nothing in particular, going to university and mocking teachers up.

I tend to take everything life throws at me with a very relaxed attitude which is probably the reason everything around me seems to fall apart eventually. But it's also the biggest reason why I've managed to keep my (in)sanity. Don't stress on life too much, it'll only make things harder.

The free time I have becomes more and more precious to me as the years go by. Guessing that I’m an amigo that likes his quiet time to balance out the social leanings of my study and leisure. Is that part of “growing up”? don’t say it.

Always fighting the urge to spend money on clothes, CDs or gadgets that are cool. I like to find humor in unusual places. Timely snapshots, videos of your friends acting like asses or being dumb. And of course, I’m not above sticking a straw up my nose or cracking politically incorrect jokes or making fun in public and having my friends getting embarrassed.

On that note, due to some severely messed up moral views, I'm very helpful, unselfish and chivalrous, even when I don't want to be. This makes me a very easy target for when someone needs a sucker to do some dirty work. But at least I don't have to worry myself with it too much since nobody ever seems to notice. But then again, I have a very wacky, verging on cruel, sense of humor. And that's what everybody DOES notice !

I also happen to be human, male, single, and have a naturally sarcastic tone of voice. It’s very frustrating. I love photography, and how it teaches you to look at the world around you - I carry my camera with me everywhere in case I don’t look enough. I also happen to be annoying, and loud at times.. and the best buddy to take for shopping since I do not consider it a waste of time.

I also love traveling. I've been traveling around India throughout 2008. All the pictures in this post are from my travels. The place is huge and I've barely been able to cover half of it so far. The sights and sounds of this country are amazing. The culture and history even more so. You can read more about my travels over on the Travels Of Teh Cj section.

For the weekend, Richard, Phil and I figured we'd swing by Kerala.

It turned out be an amazing and very beautiful place ! We spent Day One lazying around on a Houseboat slowly cruising down Kerala's Backwaters , while the crew waited on us, hand and foot. And Day Two on Varkala Beach, which in my opinion, is one of the best beaches that I've seen in India !

I took a ton of pictures with my Nokia N82 along the way. Check them out, after the jump.


Like I said earlier, we spent Day One on a houseboat, drifting along Kerala's Backwaters.

270920083801 - Share on Ovi

It was so incredibly peaceful ! I cant even describe it. Our cook was great, our Houseboat was HUGE, had continuous electricity, hot water and even Satelite TV (Which we never switched on!). Literally the only thing missing, for geeky ol'me, was WiFi ! Haha. Definitely a must-do, when in India.



Day Two, was even more eventful. We hung around the Houseboat a couple hours in, until it was time for us to leave, then took a couple buses to Varkala. A couple hours later, there we were at Varkala Beach .

270920083912 - Share on Ovi



I just gotta say, this is one of the best beaches I've seen in India. The view from the Cliff overhead, is breathtaking. To add to that, the beach is kept very clean , same for the water. Yet another amazing place. And the fun doesnt stop when the sun goes down. Varkala beach also has an amazing nightlife with its hundreds of restaraunts and cafes dotted along the cliff.
