Slumdog Millionaire

In order to get out of the heat yesterday we went to see Slumdog Millionaire. All in all it was a good experience. Cinebuzz had a book online and pay $8 for your ticket (which became $9 after booking fee) as well as skipping the longest line in the world bonus thrown in for free. I’d recommend it just to avoid jerks.

We got to our seats and watched on. I think the moral of the story was that Indian people are jerks. It seriously had some of the most despicable characters I’ve ever seen. The worst was the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Host. Not only did he have a fat smug head but he couldn’t actually pronounce Millionaire. Instead of saying Mill-i-on-aire, he’d say Mill-on-aire. Now you may think I’m a bit of a jerk for picking on this guy as I can’t pronounce a word of Hindi but seriously, his job dictates he says Millionaire quite a bit, you’d think he could learn to say it. It’s almost as ridiculous as finding out that Bert Newtown can’t actually count to 20. Ridiculous.
