The new Star Trek proved to be a thrilling, entertaining watch. Zachary Quinto who plays Spock , is edgy and a bit of an unconventional dreamboat. His love interest in the film, turns into putty, every time he experiences an emotion like pain or anger. Initially, Captain Kirk tries to seduce her, but eventually the player doesn’t get the girl. Get the hint, people?
A crucial guest appearance of the man who plays the original Spock and who is now in his 80s, cast as an older version of himself in the film, was a stroke of genius, and no doubt has made Star Trek junkies absolutely thrilled.
My favourite scenes in the film are the creation of black holes in the universe. Visually, it’s breathtaking and overwhelming a sight to behold, watching an entire planet crumbling into nothingness in a matter of seconds (though the implications are tragic, because entire civilizations are also being destroyed in seconds). Imagine watching the effect in 3D.
Delhi has a Hard Rock Cafe, finally. And by virtue of being able to listen to some rock music, a welcome break from Hard Kaur, makes me give it some brownie points. There’s no entry fee. But the bartenders looks overworked and it’s hard for even a hot looking gal to get their attention. Sigh.
But there’s a little nondescript place called The Living Room, a little hole in the wall, that’s been converted into a no-frills, yet, casually stylish pub-lounge-disco. The dance floor area has a shiny disco ball suspended from the ceiling, the stairs leading up to pub are painted a bright hue and lined with candles. The crowd is Boho, though my pal Al smirked that when the lights come on he saw hobo, not boho!
