And Jesus, remind me sometime to hang out with Jay Singh. Sounds like a FUN guy. I think this is a wothy post, Karina. SLUMDOG is the kind of film that thrives on being the little film that could, and the marketing has paid off handsomely. Point me in the direction of one element of the film that isn't thoroughly calculated to clobber us with joy and/or guilt, and I'll give you a fresh cup of chai. (Also, I fucking hated it....yeah, Jay, I even hated the truth-telling!) xox, Parochial Small-Timer (really, dude?) Beware of those who’d praise a piece of art for its “universal” qualities.

These people exist for no other reason than to preen, art has nothing to do with it. Slumdog makes fools of their posturing --- beyond posturing they have northing. In the first world having nothing means not having the latest tune from i-tunes --- in the Slumdog world it means not having a pillow to sleep on at night. Better to denigrate the casual observations of reality than face that reality that Danny Boyle places in the headlights.
