Bad Bollywood - 2
Talking of "Slumdog", I suppose I should start checking myself for these symptoms. Apparently they tend to afflict the tiny minority of the world's citizens who didn't like the film:
Are you confused? Uneasy? Constipated? You may be suffering from PSSD. Post-Slumdog Stress Disorder is a very real ailment, with devastating consequences for its sufferers. Victims of PSSD often, on a daily, if not hourly basis, endure flashes of rage, manic ranting, rocking back and forth while twitching slightly in the corner, and a smug proclivity to email links to anti-“Slumdog Millionaire” news stories with the subject line: “HA! Look who agrees with me! LOOK!!”.
One thing I will say for Danny Boyle, however, is that he's been charm itself in all the post-Oscar interviews I've seen. I say that as someone who once had the misfortune to interview Quentin Tarantino at a plush Manhattan hotel back in the age of "Pulp Fiction". His ego had a suite all to itself.[Hat-tip: Shariq]
