Rats!

Dec
29

People generally go to the hospital to get well, but with the state of hospitals in India, I think one will be better off roughing it out in the wild.

Rats apparently chewed off the penis of a patient with pneumonia, leaving him bleeding to death. It was reported that his family members found him in a pool of blood. Hospital authorities have admitted to having problems with rats, but declined to comment further.

In a separate incident on 9 Dec, a fire broke out at a private hospital, leaving close to 100 dead as hospital staff fled the premises, stranding the mostly immobile patients. Firefighters also took more than an hour to arrive at the scene after the fire started.

And in a 3rd unrelated incident on 17 Dec, a 21 day old infant died after a cleaner accidentally removed her oxygen masked while he was under the influence of alcohol.

Yeah, definitely, roughing it out in the wild.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Dec
28

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there is one movie title that is as far away as the movie plot goes, Mission Impossible is it. Over the course of 4 missions, it has always been possible, possible, possible and possible.

Improbable maybe, but by the end of 120 minutes or so, always possible.

Unless the title really implies the efforts of the villains in the 4 installments. Aah, now we’re going somewhere. Let’s see:

http://ornamentalpeanut.com/upload/ Mission Impossible 1: Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to steal the NOC list, frame AND kill your IMF team members, and then sell the NOC list to Max. Yeah, impossible.

can Lurasidone be bought over the counter Mission Impossible 2: Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to create a virus, release the virus out in the open, and then sell the antivirus for a shit load of money. Yeah, impossible!

Mission Impossible 3: Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to kidnap Ethan Hunt’s wife, and threaten him for a “rabbit’s foot” to sell to terrorist organisations. Yeah, right.

Which brings us to Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Directed by animation maestro Brad Bird of Ratatouille and The Incredibles fame, this latest adventure proves to be the most exciting and action-packed yet.

From the opening scene featuring LOST alum Josh Holloway, the pace moves at breakneck speed from one action sequence to the next. Its breathtaking to see how Brad tackles the framing of the action, seeing that he comes from an animation background. The result is exhilarating, and at times even improbable.

This installment also brings to the forefront the technology and gadgets and really feature in the movie in a big way, that also elevates Simon Pegg’s role somewhat. This time, the entire IMF has been disavowed for an alleged attack on the Kremlin. Without any backup and resources, Ethan and his team has to track down and stop a crazy attempt at inciting nuclear war.

So, back to the villain’s misison: Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to bomb the Kremlin, frame the entire IMF and bringing it down in the process, steal a nuclear activation device together with the nuclear bomb, and start a nuclear war. Well… good luck with that!

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol stars Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner, Michael Nyqvist.

Rating: 8/10

PS: Given the amount of running Tom Cruise was subjected to in this film, I feel almost sorry for him. The guy’s 49! Give him a break man…

Kim Jong Il – 1942 – 2011

Dec
19


Kim Jong Il, the mysterious and reclusive Great Leader of North Korea, was reported to have died on 17 December, 2011 by state media.

Although seen by the rest of the world as a repressive and cruel leader, he was apparently highly regarded within the borders of North Korea, almost to the point of deifying him.

His birth in 1942 was reportedly foretold by a swallow announcing the coming of a general who will rule the world, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over Baekdu Mountain, as well as the birth of a new star.

A great leader he may have been to the people of North Korea, but to the rest of the world (other than heads of state), he was little more than comic relief in an otherwise insane world.

To be honest, I know next to nothing of him, and what I know, I gleaned from Team America: World Police.

Here’s Kim Jong Il in Team America singing “I’m so ronery”

Another source of information I get about this legendary character, is from this tumblr collection of Kim Jong Il looking at things.

As we all know, the internet moves at ten times the speed of light, so in light of his death, a similar site has already been set up for his heir apparent, Kim Jong Un, to erm, look at things on behalf of his father.

Kim Jong Il had also allegedly kidnapped a Korean film maker and his wife in 1978, placed him under house arrest and forced him to direct films in order to build up the North Korean film industry, and to produce propaganda films.

A very strange man indeed. May here’s hoping there will be no negative repercussions on relations between North and South Korea, and the world at large, when his son Kim Jong Un officially steps up to the throne.
