To the contrary, you have provided an entirely new interpretation to the title ‘The Rise of Raj … ‘

Just saw it, shades of Harry Potter. Everyone’s mispronouncing Badalandabad throughout, of course. I thought Taj became American in self-defense after being chucked out of Fox & Hounds. Except for the megahung dog, Balzac, it’s too polite on its face to be funny. Anyhow, I hope Kurma and sakshi will re-educate the public when the DVD comes out…there must have been some points made.

Huh? Wasn’t her character married? [Silly me]

I return in 30 minutes and hand them a brilliantly comic scene for the aptly titled Gogol Taj Kumar – Death of a Pimp. Scene filmed, high fives all around and 2 months later I watch the DVD commentary of the movie (yet another direct to DVD for our man KP) where Danny talks about KP’s comic genius and how he adlibbed many parts of the movie. KP chimes in, saying he just went with that scene where he is supposed to die milking a donkey, and mutters the best line of the movie “It’s hard out there for a pimp” to a classical sarod score.

Donkey milking? eww to you.

It sounds like a rip off of the scene from “Freddy Got Fingered” where he “milks the horse” or something of the sort. (I watched that scene in front of my female cousins and I was the only one crying from laughter..damn prudes)

You really have an overactive imagination dabba. If you aren’t claiming to be a doctor or a Nasa scientist like these other folks, Bollywood beckons you.

Kinda psyched about the Uncle Jes-minder (sooo much more creative than Brangelina, no?) relationship on ER though. It’s the only reason I watch.

Oh yes it is!

While the Jewish representation is high, this does not immediately equate the opportunity of a nonwhite and a midwestern white. A nonwhite who does succeed in entertainment whether it be behind or in front of the camera is immediately branded a racist if he or she insists on having nonwhite crew, stunt doubles etc.. The only person to do it to date, Spike Lee. And he’s not branded a “reverse racist” right?

In the movie Romeo Must Die, a white stunt woman did a 50 ft descender fall for a black character. [link] The reverse would never occur. There are about 2-3 black stuntwomen working.

I can go on and on about countless times where white actors played non white characters. Just talking about desi characters: Fisher Stevens as Ben Jhaveri, in Short Circuit, Alec Guiness as Godbole in Passage to India, Ben Kingsley (although, he’s half Indian) as Gandhi come to mind. I’d like to know if the reverse ever occurred.

To say that Hollywood elite is heavily bicoastal and elite is true, to conclude that implies a non white and a midwestern white is on equal footing is absolutely not.

For that (and the torch you carry for engineers) we are very grateful . The check is in the mail.
