Fwd:FW:A must read

Any estimate of the number of forwards created/forwarded/read everyday. Dont let your manager read this, otherwise mails containing "FW" in the subject list would be next thing to be blocked on your office mail server.

Who creates these forwards? Are these the people who are on bench in the people-CMM certified software companies? I thought all these forwards are old ones which keep on rotating for years. Some obviously are like the "cancer forward mail from Siemens,Delhi". There are always new freshers with golden heart who take these mails seriously and forward them to others. But there are new forwards being generated everyday. Looks like there is a whole community dedicated to creating and sending forwards. The new forwards are triggered by events like world cup(remember the goal/Zidane forwards) or movie releases(special cases are Balkrishna movie release in AP/Hyd).

And who sends these forwards? Some forward even without reading the content just to make their friends feel they are remembered. This lets some girls enjoy the "boy only things",only those are fortunate enough to be on the mailing list of boys. Some others(like me) are dead ends, no forwards go beyond them. Some have special mail-lists with the names of privileged people who will get the forwards. A few take the job of forwarding mails to each as a must do duty,and thanks to these people, we get breaks to read jokes/funny quotes in between our office work.

Try creating a new forward if you have time to see how far it goes, if it is a loud sardarji joke it will go hit and if it is a serious issue bigger chances are there for it to die. We all need a forward to our credit, i have mine which died soon as it revolved around using right to information act.

Why the world does not need Superman movies

Did you know:

1)Superman has a illegitimate child, but the child looks fragile not as strong as his dad. And the superheroes need not be good at ethics. Our Superman kisses a married woman, but does not want to marry her,but still loves her. And lets a crime happen when a not so ugly woman is there in his laps.

2)Americans are very poor at remembering faces that is how no one recognizes that Kent is Superman even though the only difference between his face and Superman's face is the spects, or is it that Superman's producers don't know how to use make up well so that superman does not look exactly like Kent, that too when the pictures and videos of Superman are easily shown to be available to everyone in the movie.

3)You can waste away $225 million with no spectacular special effects even those which are given look like fake. The scene in which Superman stops a falling Boeing/Airbus, he just stops it at one point, and the aircraft turns by 90 degree angle but does not crash. They are simply ludicrous. A tiny man however powerful taking on planets does not give nice special effects. The spider man had nets which justified some Newtonian laws. This one will score highest on the error list.

4)What to talk of the story, did not understand it properly , how he is made of steel but still has blood, but you cannot prick him a needle. Radio active materials from Krypton hurt him but he moves around freely in the space and to his planet Krypton. How he gets well after a attack as hospitals cannot help him, sometimes he takes energy from the sun and sometimes he becomes so weak that a man can kick him.

This movie is full of absurdities and didn like any scene. To begin with went to Prasads,IMAX,Hyderabad to see the 3-D version of the movie. But the catch is it is partly 3-D and partly 2-D, the 3-D part is maybe only 1-5% of the total duration. And how do i know when to wear the 3-D glasses, they did a good job by flashing RED/GREEN lights at the required points, but that was not needed as the crowd used to burst into action mode whenever a 3-D scene came, everyone telling the other to wear the glass. No one wanted to miss the 3-D scenes for which we paid 180 Rs. and have to pay a 500 Rs. extra if the glasses are damaged.

This is one movie which has been promoted excessively by the producers and in all the languages.

CNN-IBN had to carry half hour long specials as the parent Time Warner has produced the movie. And all the special effects have been shown repeatedly on the trailers leaving nothing left for the actual movie.
