That part of the human spirit that reaches out toward truth and beauty in us has been replaced by a base impulse that would probably leave us content to look at a flip-book of Amrish Puri being punched in the face by a novelty boxing glove on a spring for the rest of our sad and perverse little lives. <BR/><BR/>Now, if you felt a little guilty about having survived such a fate, that might be appropriate.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-24124615968476414482008-07-17T21:43:00.000-07:002008-07-17T21:43:00.000-07:00That's the kind of advice you can take to the bank...That's the kind of advice you can take to the bank.

I cannot believe it. (I say that a lot around here, don't I?) You do NOT punch Amrish Puri IN THE FACE. But then there was the music, and the woman putting her hand a little too near Mithun's crotch for my delicate sensibilities, and then I saw the guy who plays Sam from <I>Disco Dancer</I>, the most wonderfully debauched dancing bad guy ever, in the background, and now I just don't know what to do.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-61162132323091828742008-07-14T13:11:00.000-07:002008-07-14T13:11:00.000-07:00You (and the ebay availability) have convinced me ...You (and the ebay availability) have convinced me - "Disco Dancer" it is.

It's relatively short for a Bollywood film, and the machinations of its plot are fairly straight forward. Plus, it's called <I>Disco Dancer</I>, it's about a guy who's a disco dancer, and that guy has a theme song that involves him singing the line "I am a disco dancer" like five hundred times. So it really delivers on its promise.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-30354553125699237592008-07-14T12:32:00.000-07:002008-07-14T12:32:00.000-07:00A flying car?
