nammaalu aiyyo paavam - avara motthu mothhunu motthinaalum "anbe alla"nnu avaroda sondha sindhanaiya solraaru - has anyone from the 'aggrieved' parties watched VR and said a single good thing about it ?! I don't recall one
Dravidian politics married to Tamil cinema - is the reason why:
1. we continued to make mokkai film after film through the 1980s. -
2. we gained credibility as sentimental idiots.
3. we lost our ability to forge bonds / relationships with others/other states.
the sooner the Tamil cinema - politics nexus is severed the better for us - I know ppl will argue things are no better in other states - I care abt the state I was born in.
already our captain has made a fool of himself - i sincerely hope superstar does not follow suit - avaroda vayasula thevai illadha complication plus spare the people of TN from any more of this BS

Kamal Haasan wishes Rajini on his birthday and "Lingaa" for a grand success..!
Kamal Haasan's next is 'Vaamamaargam'?
Actor Kamal Haasan who is awaiting three back to back releases in the coming months, has revealed an idea that has been in mind for sometime to make movie on. The star actor's Uttama Villain, Papanasam and Vishwaroopam 2 are all set to hit the screen soon. Meanwhile, responding to a question posted by his daughter and actress Shruti Haasan, Kamal has spoken about the idea of a movie that lingers on his mind.
Talking about the idea, Kamal Haasan said "The idea that I have on the top of my mind right now is a film which is titled 'Vaamamaargam' which means 'Left hand path'. Lot of people have a lot of thought, like few call Aghoris as Vaamamaargigal. That's a religious side. Communists are called leftists. But it's much more than that. It's a very interesting thing. It's about business ethics and I want to talk about those things."
"I think maybe as a world citizen it's my duty to talk about this subject which is on the top of my mind. This is one story that keep coming up in my mind like how it happened with Marudhanayagam, Marmayogi, Virumandi and Vishwaroopam which I wanted to make for over 7 years," he added.

Hope this improves thalaiver's movie releases in hindi speaking areas.
The deal will make Carnival the third largest multiplex operator with nationwide presence and over 300 screens.
Anil Ambani led Reliance Group has sold its multiplex business to South India based Carnival Group in the largest ever deal in this space.

That is so true. Even in the prolific 1980's main stream actors rarely had 3 movies in the pipeline in parallel (likes of Amitabh etc). Only extras and bit actors would end up having multiple movies in the can ready for release. Looks like KH is getting ready to beat those records, filming more and more movies without releasing any.
@madhus: nice sarcasm...or being sympathetic???
Kamal Haasan wishes guru Balachander speedy recovery
The actor-filmmaker is currently busy with the post-production work of Tamil film Uttama Villain in Los Angeles
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan has wished his guru K. Balachander, who has been hospitalised due to fever and some age-related ailments, a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, the veteran filmmaker’s health is improving, doctors have said.
Balachander, 84, was admitted to Cauvery Hospital here Monday.
Kamal Haasan is currently busy with the post-production work of Tamil film Uttama Villain in Los Angeles.
“KB sir recently asked me to complete Uttama Villain’ as quickly as possible. He said he’d like to watch it before he goes away. I could understand his eagerness in watching the film. When I heard that he was critical, I quickly rang up his manager,” Kamal said in a video.
Balachander’s manager informed Kamal Haasan that the auteur was conscious, but hasn’t spoken to anybody in the last few days.
“When I spoke to KB sir, he replied in his faint voice. I informed him that I will visit him as soon as I return after completing the post—production work. I didn’t understand a word of what he spoke for the next few minutes,” he said.
Although Kamal wants to return immediately, he said: “KB sir wouldn’t like it if I leave the job incomplete and come back. My only concern is if I can complete the film, I can show it to him.
“I wish he wakes up and joins us soon.”
Haasan and Balachander have worked together in over 40 films.
Meanwhile, doctors at Cauvery Hospital have confirmed that Balachander is responding positively to the treatment.
“He is better now. He has shown slight improvement to the treatment. We have still kept him under observation,” a hospital source said.
On Monday, Rajinikanth, Mohan Raman, Khushbu and a few other actors rushed to the hospital after learning about the filmmaker’s health condition.
Rajinikanth said that Balachander “recognised and smiled” at him.

something unconnected with this thread. can some one pl give the exact BO report of Linga? lot of claims in that thread which are biased either way, like it crossed VR, earned 100c in 3 days etc.
hh..what is memes?
A humorous image/video shared across the social network
ok.. thanks
Memes are those holes in a diaper, where the leakage stinks the surrounding whereas the other kids laugh at it. Its the continues punching hole system where the basic idea was derived from "Avan 1 spoon 'athu' thindran, so naan oru 'plate' athu thinuvein". Basically its amused and circulated by kids with keyboards in a cupboard who think anonymity is a glorious weapon. The memes attract other diapers with its foolishness, where even a fool thinks he knows everything. Questioning a meme irkes the diaper claded warriors who start to act in packs, where the initial question is never addressed but everyone wearing other diaper marks are attacked. Its is generally called 'Diaper Wars' where they start arguing each one's leakage is greater than the other. Memes are nothing but opinions converted to facts by people who don't know the basic definitions of either. Everything is a proof and anything is the source is their slogan. More over meme is that shit which attracts flies. When there are flies, there is buzz. In rare cases intellectual get attracted by the odeur. The syndrome is called SWS - 'striking the shit with a stick'. SWS patients are cureable. The cure is only time based, where they slowly start to understand that foolishness can never be funny, in whichever way its projected. Memes have made the scientist to move a step forward and thru research they have concluded that, effectively a 3rd kind has evolved. Initially it was only 'empty vessel' & 'vessels full'. But now there is this exceptional specimens - "vessels full of shit", a rare breed which is full but ...
If I am not clear, I can elaborate more taking the above posted meme as an exemple.
Appologies for using a coloumn in Kamal thread. I just pray diapers don't crack here too.
Mappi...Though unconnected to the thread in general, that was probably the most apt explanation that one could give for a malaise that's come to rule the internet recently . While a few are genuinely funny and imaginative, most fall downright into the hitting below the belt category. Its personally hard for me to not detest a few. Anyways back to Kamal. Happy that things are moving towards a Feb release for UV. And KBs situation could be a factor in hastening the release efforts. Wish the great man gets to see the film on screen.

புன்னகை மன்னன் படத்தின் ஷூட்டிங் ஸ்பாட்.
தற்கொலைக்கு தயாராகி விட்டார் கமல். தனது காதலியின் கைகளை கோர்த்து கொண்டு மலை உச்சியில் இருந்து மடுவிற்குள் குதிக்கும் காட்சி. கமலை மரக்கிளையில் மாட்டியாகி விட்டது. நான் கமலிடம் சொன்னோன்: "காதலியின் பெயரை சொல்ல கூடாது. வசனம் ஏதும் இருக்கக்கூடாது. உன்னுடைய கதறல் மட்டும் தான் இருக்க வேண்டும். நீ பார்க்கும் போதே கீழே ரத்தம் ஆறாக ஓட , உனது காதலி அடிப்பட்டு செத்து கிடக்கிறாள். சட்டை கிளையில் மாட்டிக் கொண்ட நிலையில் உனது கதறல், உனது ஓலம், உனது உணர்சிகளின் வெளிபாடு , இந்த ஷாட் ஒரு மில்லியன் டாலர் ஷாட். உனது திறமை முழுவதும் இந்த ஷாட். இடைமறித்த கமல் , ரெடி சார் என்றார்.
இரண்டு காமிராக்கள் ஓடின. ஆக்ஷன் என்றவுடன், கமல் கதறினார் .... கதறினார். .... கதறிக் கொண்டே இருக்கிறார். ..... விதவிதமான கதறல்கள் ..... நினைத்து நினைத்து எழும் வித்தியாசமான அழுகை. யூனிட் முழுவதும் சில்லிட்டு நிற்கிறது. நான் பிரமித்து நின்றேன். எனக்கு கட் சொல்லவே தோன்றவில்லை. இப்படியும் ஒரு மரண ஓலம் இருக்க முடியுமா? என்னையே மறக்கிறேன். நான் கட் என்று கூட சொல்ல வில்லையே என்று கமல் கதறி கொண்டே இருக்கிறார். என் உதவியாளர் என்னை தொட்டு நினைவு படுத்தினார். நானும் உணர்சிவசப்பட்டு கண்களில் கண்ணீர் பொங்கி வர அழுதபடியே கட் சொன்னோன். எனது அழுகை நிற்க சிறிது நேரம் ஆனது. ஆனால் கட் சொன்ன அடுத்த வினாடியே கமல் கனவு உலகத்தில் இருந்து , நிஜ உலகத்திற்கு நொடியில் திரும்பி வந்தார். With him , acting is an act of child birth என்று தோன்றியது எனக்கு.

mappi, looks like my post disturbed you a lot. Otherwise I don't see any reason for such a detailed explanation on diaper games & striking shit :huh:
But your post looks so real that people who read it will sure believe it to be the origin of memes...lol :)
I agree with you that most of the memes going around the net are plain stupid.
I've removed that picture from my post. Cheers!
UV, in simpler terms memes are just pictorial(or video) representations of jokes which are spread across the internet. There's nothing more to it. One of the earliest memes went viral was the 'Dancing Baby' video which you can see in the song 'Oh Maria' from Kadhalar Dinam.
Some Vijay/Ajith/Surya fans in FB and Twitter have been creating these memes, to attack their fav actor's opponents and their fans by spreading these picture. You can see a lot of these being created and circulated, after a movie release or even trailer release - mostly made out of low-resolution Vadivelu, Vivek or Vijayakanth movie images. Search for the term #lingumemes in google to get a clear picture of what meme means in TN.
Memes can be as cute as this too:

Hattori_Hanzo,
Certainly not that way. We had a lot of interesting discussion in the recent past from Kamal to Hitchcock. I will be the last person to get disturbed by your post and if at all, I know that I can contact you thru PM and clear things out. Actually, I was already irked about these memes/trolls for a while now. Unmai Villambi just gave me an opening to pour it out thats all.
(naan oru peg potachi, irrundhalum Cheers ! ... LoL)
guess its relevant to post here as kamal is usually the victim of these type of araajagams
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-1...-back-out.html
will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future now that this case has set a precedence of a studio giving up...
^ The issue is pertinent to Kamal for sure. It is sad to see exhibitors giving in to the demands. I was sure AMC theatres wouldnt be screening the movie. Its headquarters is in China and China has a healthy relationship with North Korea. But it is surprising to see Regal and other theatre companies take the same stand. With the exhibitors backing out, I guess Sony had no choice but to stop the release. A good way to get some profit out of this would be to make it available through DTH. With this issue, I am sure a good number would be ready to watch it on telly.
^yes I was also thinking about the DTH option sony might have ....with so many made for home hits in netflix etc it sure can reap some from the publicity it has gained now...
but this in general is not a good sign..a few more cases like this and probably the govt will step in ..
This is sort of different. Never have I seen a foreign government perpetuate an intellectual theft this openly. In a way its more scary cause its not the people of a government that are plotting against the release but the government itself.
yes this sets a bad precedent - something like this happening with a mainstream Hollywood film is unheard of (?) - wonder what the big production houses in Hollywood must be pondering now

Kamal Haasan: My best roles came from Balachandersaab
December 18, 2014 14:54 IST
'I am an actor because he made me one.'
Kamal Haasan on his mentor, director K Balachander, who is seriously ill in hospital. K Balachander, who introduced superstars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan to the movies, is critically ill in a Chennai hospital. Kamal Haasan, who is currently in Los Angeles working on his film Uttama Villain, has been checking on his mentor's health.
"Balachandersaab is my guru, mentor and guide," says Kamal Haasan. "I am an actor because he made me one. He is stable, but still critical."
Kamal Haasan started his career as a clapper boy on Balachander's sets and grew into a formidable actor under the director's attention.
"Our bond goes far beyond the usual director-actor relationship. We are guru and shishya. A lot of what I have learnt about filmmaking comes from Balachandersaab. He is a towering institution for all of us."
In 1973, this prolific director offered Kamal Haasan a walk-on part in his Tamil film, Arangentram and its Hindi version, Aaina. They later collaborated on several Tamil and Telugu hits like Apoorva Ragangal, Maro Charithra and its Hindi version, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, which marked Kamal Haasan's debut in Hindi cinema.
"If you look carefully in Aaina, you will see me as the thin clapper boy in the song Jaane Kya Ho Jaaye Jab Dil Se Dil Takraaye," Kamal Haasan says with a laugh.
Kamal Haasan played himself in Balachander's Paarthale Paravasam, starring Madhavan. Recalls the actor, "When Balachandersaab visited me on the sets of Abhay in Chennai, everyone in my crew was agog. Why had the master come to the pupil? The minute he asked me to make a guest appearance in his hundredth film, I said yes. How could I not be part of such a historic event in the life of a person who means so much to me?"
"It was a very comic sequence where in a public gathering my toupee flies off," he adds.
The actor becomes sentimental about his mentor, with whom he has done 35 movies. "The best roles and opportunities in my career came from Balachandersaab," he says.
KB Sir, Get well Soon!!
