Avatar ★★★☆☆

About the good parts first:

The visuals are *W O W*. Avatar is set in the most audacious place anyone would probably ever want to set a movie in: an alien planet. No, not barren wastes that you see so often in sci-fi flicks, but one as rich and complex and full of life as our own planet. The movie makes even this ambitious setting look more than real.

The action is edge-of-the seat. The chases and fights are long and well-detailed, yet not confusing. Together, the visuals and action kept me hooked for the whole almost-three hours.

Avatar is the most jaw-dropping-est movie of the century that is so unbelievably fantabulous that it's gone beyond just being a movie into an experience of Chuck-Norris-level awesomeness. Okay, now that the customary over-the-top appreciation of Avatar is done, we can move on to my only gripe. A big one, though.

The Musicollage

I'd been tinkering with remixing songs with Cool Edit for a while, and this is a piece that I had left hanging for a long time. So I just added a drum roll and a crash over the weekend to put an end to it. It sounds (to me atleast) less like a remix and more like a medley of songs that forms "a different whole", and so I'm calling this a musicollage (not to be confused with Jorge Sylvester's 1996 album). I might actually try and make more, so if you particularly dont like it, do let me know :). For arbitrary reasons, this piece is called "Domapo".

And now, I present to you ("இந்திய வலைக்காட்சிகளில் முதல் முறையாக...") - Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky (can your browser handle that link?) translated to Tamil (he he, mostly தமிழாக்கம் rather than மொழிபெயர்ப்பு).
