How long did you work on this? <BR/><BR/>I don't even like making screencaps because it takes me a million years to get a good shot, so this is very impressive.SpyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559048129120493591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-45174461389167259452008-07-28T14:03:00.000-07:002008-07-28T14:03:00.000-07:00Sanket - I used to love editing, until I had to te...Sanket - I used to love editing, until I had to tell an enticing story using changing music in under 1 min 30 sec. Then I hated it.<BR/><BR/>Bollyviewer - Shukriya! Well, since no one's paying me, may as well trailerfy what I feel like? And at the PPCC, it's Shashi Time, All the Time.<BR/><BR/>Rum - Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Beth - Hipsters = Muppet fans! Laura Linney actually is in the film, but I couldn't find any good shots of her crying, as you say. Oh gosh, I tear up during "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" when Sufjan starts saying he cried himself to sleep. Oh, Sufjan.a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-65400936782026119692008-07-28T06:37:00.000-07:002008-07-28T06:37:00.000-07:00The hipsters will certainly love the Muppets refer...The hipsters will certainly love the <I>Muppets</I> reference!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, yes, quite well done - exactly like the way we do things these days, isn't it? I can just see Laura Linney as the elder sister looking on tearfully. All we need is "trailer guy" voice to put in the thoughtful "..." in "a film about growing up...and going home."<BR/><BR/>I particularly like your snippets of Shashi rage. <BR/><BR/>I wish I could figure out why Sufjan can be so poignant - even in the songs that aren't about my home state (though I dare anyone to keep a dry eye during "Casimir Pulaski Day"). <BR/><BR/>Oh and thanks singularone! That's a real compliment :)Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-91190312118549478332008-07-28T04:10:00.000-07:002008-07-28T04:10:00.000-07:00vaaah vaah vaah! kya khoob, this is one the cooles...vaaah vaah vaah! kya khoob, this is one the coolest trailers ever!Rumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104185865100510017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-67269914740210287442008-07-27T23:52:00.000-07:002008-07-27T23:52:00.000-07:00PPCC kya baat hai!

Editing is a GIGANTIC pain in the royal arse - a box full of vacation videos just begging to be edited is reminder enough. Keep it up as the quest to make these movies accessible for the movie fans of today is noble indeed :)Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-9765192167031052922008-07-27T22:11:00.000-07:002008-07-27T22:11:00.000-07:00Memsaab - You're too kind!

I will do better!<BR/><BR/>Ajnabi - Thanks! I see all its flaws, but such it always is.<BR/><BR/>SingularOne - Thanks for the very kind words. Sometimes I wonder if the reason we young, modern things like these 70s masala masterpieces is some (mis)appropriated sheen of nostalgia? I don't know if I would have been so forgiving if I had been in the cinema, back in the day. But then again - different film genres are like different languages, you just gotta learn to speak the masala dialect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-89998987607865590022008-07-27T21:02:00.000-07:002008-07-27T21:02:00.000-07:00I thought it was very well done.

Great job, especially as it's about "making older movies more enticing". <BR/><BR/>To be honest your blog and Beth's have been instrumental in changing my views on Hindi masala cinema. When earlier I cringed in embarrassment at the fantasy and mediocrity of it all; thanks to you, I now applaud and enjoy (to a certain extent) the madness of the masala genre. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I remain indebted to you for re-acquanting me with the works of Sashi Kapoor et all.<BR/><BR/>All the best and some more!Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144801365783584299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-24506213108721749242008-07-27T14:55:00.000-07:002008-07-27T14:55:00.000-07:00Wah!
