Slumdog finally made it to my town and I saw it today. I loved it from the very first second. It was so colorful, the music was wonderful, and the story was told in an interesting way. I loved the characters and the story.

I saw it as less of a love story and more a story of determination to have the life he dreamed of.

It's not even about Bollywood

It's not even about Bollywood (any more than a movie about gangs in L.A. is about Hollywood), though it pays homage at points.

I love this post, Genghis. I am looking forward to watching this movie. It's not a Bollywood production, just about Bollywood -- Mumbai, right? Looks like fun.

It wasn't enough that I gave you comment RSS? Wait, I think that I've got a violin here somewhere. Seriously, I tried to see if there was an easy solution to this and the only one I found didn't work, so I'm afraid that you'll have to put up with the extra clicks for now. I did, however, just switch the rss to full text for you.

Just a feature request, not related to this post.

I hope there's a way to read multiple full articles on one page. Now I have to click one, back, click another, too painful.

An alternative is to have links at the end of one full piece to "Previous post: blah" and "Next post: yada". Then it's a single click.

When I read, I want to move as little as possible, and see only content change. Scrolling is most efficient in that sense.

That reminds me that when I

That reminds me that when I was a kid, on Saturday mornings we used to watch B films starring Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys. They started out in the 1930s acting in Dead End, a serious play and somewhat sanitized film set in the slums, and then as the Dead End Kids, played supporting roles in crime dramas like Angels With Dirty Faces with famous actors like Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Cagney. By the 1950s their adventures were formulaic and tame, but they was our only exposure to the idea that some people lived in slums.
