    6 thoughts that went through our minds while watching the new Game of Thrones season 6 trailer!

    It’s here! The much-awaited sneak peek of one of our favourite TV shows (EVER) is finally out and we’re just biting our lips with all the anticipation! With the new Game of Thrones season 6 trailer (the red band one) we have a mesh of confusing thoughts in our heads and we need an explanation!

    Most of us have, obviously, already formed an opinion about the trailer, but just hear us out! So here are a few questions (thoughts rather) that went through our heads while watching the trailer repeatedly (like 4 times) and we bet all you GOT fanatics out there can somewhere relate to them. Here goes.

    1. ‘He’s gone’! – Is Jon Snow REALLY DEAD?!?!? That can’t be. And why is he laying there dead all by himself? And what’s Davos Seaworth about to do with Ghost and Snow’s dead body? (Getting goose bumps here)

    2. Are they seriously playing a very nice and melodious version of Wicked Gamesin the background? Like it’s a Katherine Heigl movie and she just got dumped, brutally! BTW, if you’re looking for this cover, it’s by James Vincent McMorrow.

    3. Where did Lady Melisandre’s voodoo disappear suddenly? Okay, we get it; she didn’t get her great victory (the one she saw in the flames) but is that it? Did all those sacrifices and magical drama through the seasons go down the pothole?

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.41.31 PM

     

    4. Has Daenerys Targaryen lost everything? We mean, just look at her! Poor girl, quite literally. We need some hardcore dragon action NOW! And and and, Will Jorah Mormont ever realise that he has been friend-zoned for life? CTFO, bro!

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.41.47 PM

     

    5. Three cheers for Cersei Lannister! She finally grew some b*lls (it seems). After all those years of suffering and demise, the incestual damsel seems pretty ‘high’ on confidence and well, Jaime being he, again this season.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.42.09 PM

     

    6. Woah woah woah, who are those two making out at 1:15 in the video? Are those new additions to the Game of Thrones family? It’s kinda hard to make out (for us, not them). LOL.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.42.44 PM

     

    7. Bran Stark being up, close and personal with a white-walker? What’s that all about? How did they end up in the same battleground! I mean he’s just a kid.

    Screen shot 2016-03-09 at 5.43.10 PM

     

    April 24th seems really far ahead and it’s just depressing to think about the long wait. Do let us know if you too got baffled with this trailer in the comments section below!

    Prepare yourself for the Hollywood movies releasing in March! They won’t let you sleep at night!

    Alright! The list for the Hollywood movies releasing in March is out and we couldn’t be happier to inform that you might just cry out because of two things: first, thank the lord because March is here.

A sequel or two, couple of animated movies that the kid in you will really love! No the latter wasn’t especially for the pregnant women.

  • History has been made! Leonardo DiCaprio has won his first Oscar, finally! But what is he up to now?

    History has been made! Leonardo DiCaprio has won his first Oscar, finally! But what is he up to now?

    Yes, it has happened, history has been made! Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first Oscar for Best Actor in a leading role for The Revenant. If you watched the Oscars you must have seen the look on his face while he held the award and started with his beautiful speech. Even the other contenders for the Best Actor nominee were seen happy that it was Leo (not that they didn’t want to win but they were happy that he finally made it after so much hard work). But now it’s done, he won the Oscar and everybody went home after a great award ceremony. And to think of it, what’s Leo up to now? Well, here’s what we think!

    #1 Leo knows how to party and after winning an Oscar, it has to be a grand celebration!

    Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first Oscar, he’s going to do what every Oscar winner does or must do! And that is party like a rock star, no wait, movie star! And after doing movies like Great Gatsby and Wolf of The Wall Street, we think he has got a pretty good idea on how to throw a party of a lifetime!

    #2 Probably trying to take all his memes off the internet in which he couldn’t win the Oscar!

    To think of it, why the hell not? You wouldn’t want to see all that after you’ve finally achieved what you always wanted! So, you might just do everything in your power to take all that hate, ‘not-so-funny (for you) things off the internet! It’s time for a change!

    #3 The beginning of a new era where Leonardo winning an Oscar memes flood in like a tsunami on the internet!

    Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has finally won his first Oscar, he did make history and with that the new era where memes of Leo winning an Oscar are hitting the internet like tsunami hit India. Excuse the bad joke. But just think, your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feed is filled with posts about Leo winning the Oscar. This is a big deal, people!

    #4 “The Unfortunate Oscar Winner”, autobiography by Leonardo DiCaprio

    Yep, that might just be the next big thing in Leo’s head, you never know. Now that he’s got the Oscar, the next thing could be a top selling autobiography. And who wouldn’t want that?

    #5 And years later, a biopic about Leo played by Leo because perfection doesn’t come that easy to anyone

    If this happens, which probably will? And if by any chance Leo plays himself and wins an Oscar for that, how crazy would that be? Would you call it ‘Oscarception’, ‘Leoception’ or just a ‘Misconception’?

    #6 There might be a new director in Hollywood!

    Again, not going to be a big surprise, but in the future Leo might announce that he’s going to make his debut as a director. As he said in his speech, he learned a lot while working with Martin Scorsese. Maybe, just maybe, he was giving us a message. But we’re just saying!

  • These actors played multiple superheroes in movies! How many of them do you know?

    These actors played multiple superheroes in movies! How many of them do you know?

    People make mistakes and not everyone gets a second chance to correct them. It’s just like a prank backfiring on you and there’s no escaping the embarrassment after that. Until you’ve got another shot at it. Then, you make it count and you take the shot. Similarly, a few of these actors made some mistakes (and a few didn’t) and a few years down the line they got their second chance. And did they make it count? If you ask me, they aced it. These actors played multiple superheroes in movies (life goals on point)! Let’s see how many you know!

     

    #1 Ben Affleck’s Batman – Daredevil

    If you are a fan of Ben Affleck and a superhero junkie, you probably know that his first superhero movie was Daredevil back in 2003, which had to go through a lot of criticism. You ask why? Well, because it sucked. It’s not just me but the Daredevil fans, the superhero and the comic book junkies who thought the movie could’ve done so much better but even Affleck couldn’t really pull it off. In short, Daredevil was termed as Marvel’s worst adaptation ever. And after 13 long years it was announced that Affleck would be playing Batman. The world went batshit crazy saying Affleck wouldn’t be able to pull it off using his ‘Daredevil’ history against him. But Affleck shut everybody up after the Batman v Superman trailers came out!

    #2 Chris Evans’ Capt. America – The Human Torch

    Before he was found frozen in ice, Capt. America was actually The Human Torch from Fantastic 4 which came out first in 2005 and then a sequel in 2007. The series over all did fine and Chris Evans was believable as The Human Torch. But, he hit jackpot when he was cast as Steve Rogers/Captain America in Captain America: The First Avenger. No doubt that he was the correct choice for the role and he fulfilled the expectations of every Marvel fan. Now that the two instalments of Captain America movies are here and the third, Captain America: Civil War is not that far, we can hardly wait to see who will have the last stand, Cap or Iron Man!

    #3 Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern – Deadpool

    Hal Jordon (Ryan Reynolds), the chosen one by the ring couldn’t really save everyone, especially whoever watched his movie. Green Lantern had almost everything you need for a superhero movie. But the makers probably forgot that a storyline matters too. To put it simply, Green Lantern is to DC what Daredevil is to Marvel. Green Lantern came out in 2011 and Ryan got his second chance, which was also his dream, to make a Deadpool. And now that Deadpool is out, the movie has broken all the X-men movies’ records in just 10 days. That’s something, if you ask me. Also, the sequel is already in the works!

    #4 Halle Berry’s Storm – Catwoman

    Everybody remembers Storm from X-Men, she can change the weather and that is one hell of a power for a mutant. She can drown you; smoke you up by bringing down the lightning right on you and what not. Storm has always been a bad ass and a very strong mutant that you better not take lightly. On the other hand, Halle played Catwoman in 2004 and man, that movie has done no justice to its name. But sure, if you want to watch Halle Berry purr, be my guest and watch the movie.

    #5 Aaron Taylor Johnson’s Kick-Ass – Quicksilver

    Aaron made his debut as a superhero in Kick-Ass (2010) in which he is inclined towards the idea of being a superhero and saving the people around him. Along with Aaron’s work the movie was great too, which led the makers to bring up a sequel in 2013. The next time everybody saw Aaron as a more powerful superhero, when he showed up in The Avengers: Age of Ultron as Quicksilver. Sadly, Quicksilver dies by the end of the movie but he was a really cool hero to be seen on the big screen!

    #6 Brandon Routh’s Superman – Atom

    There have been a few actors who have played Superman but there’s been only one actor who played Superman AND then another superhero. Brandon Routh played Superman in Superman Returns in 2006 and now, he plays Atom in the TV show Legends of Tomorrow and has also featured in The Flash and The Arrow as the same. And from what I know, he was appreciated for both the roles.

    Now that we know that these actors played multiple superheroes in movies, we can’t wait for more! We hope the list grows longer with new superheroes and insane movies in the coming future! *fingers crossed*

    Five most annoying celebrity couples

    Do you like getting an insight of your favourite celebrities’ lives? We are sure most of you do, but too much of anything will make you sick. Be it the same track playing repetitively on every other radio station or the media updating you about the same old celebrity couples leaving you queasy and absolutely annoyed. Here’s our list of five most annoying celebrity couples.

     

    1) Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh

    Ranveer Singh goes on a shopping trip with Deepika’s family, flies down to Bengaluru from Malaysia just to get a glimpse of Deepika and the two still call themselves single. Doesn’t this bear enough proof about their relationship? It’s high time they decide upon their relationship status and shed off the tag of being a rumoured couple.

    4) Taylor swift and all her ex-lovers

    Taylor swift has had a long list of ex-lovers and to our surprise all her relationships start with a bang and end with a whimper. However, we can only hope for her to find her soul mate so the social media posts STOP for good.

    5) Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor

    Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s relationship got annoying just as they started seeing each other as the two were spotted more on the media for their romance and less on the screens. Now denying a Bollywood relationship is very obvious but kissing on the balcony and then acting coy. NOT DONE!

  • Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    Netflix India: Is our country really ready for Netflix?

    The US-based video streaming company Netflix launched its operations recently in India and we couldn’t be more excited!

    Starting at Rs. 500 per month, Netflix India has framed its packages very similar to their American plans. Reportedly, Netflix India is also looking forward to getting on board with more Indian partners to diversify their collection for the Indian market; adding more Bollywood movies in their database.

    But, what caught our attention in this whole Netflix India outburst were a few points that were directed to only one question: Is India really ready for Netflix?

    Here’s why.

    #1. Minus the metro cities in India, do tier II & tier III cites have enough bandwidth to stream HD TV shows and movies in their homes?

    #2. Will the online piracy affect Netflix India’s operations? There are several websites that are already offering free online streaming of shows/movies (so we’ve heard).

    #3. The fact that Netflix India is still in the process of tying up with its Indian partners, do we really have a large target audience that follows American TV series/movies?

    Though, everything aside, we’re going to sign up with Netflix India right about now. We think it’s one of the coolest New Year presents we’ve received in 2016 so far! Thank you, Netflix.

  • The legendary Adele & Jimmy Fallon go back to Kindergarten to sing ‘Hello’ and we’re amazed!

    The legendary Adele & Jimmy Fallon go back to Kindergarten to sing ‘Hello’ and we’re amazed!

    The gorgeous Brit singer, Adele, never fails to make us fall in love with her voice and her music. And this time she took things to a whole new level. Yes, our very favourite Adele teamed up with the American television host Jimmy Fallon to perform or rather re-create a new version of her recent track ‘Hello’.

    Also, collaborating with ‘The Roots’, the English singer used children’s classroom instruments ONLY to give a background score for the track and let’s just say, it’s as good as the original one.

    The thing that makes this video hilarious is when Adele pulls out a plastic flip phone (just like the one she used in her original video) in the middle of her performance and starts singing on it. LOL!

    PS – The guy holding a banana shaker on the right isn’t something we’d miss out on either. Take a look!

  • We hope Jon Snow is alive! But does the teaser really give any confirmation?

    We hope Jon Snow is alive! But does the teaser really give any confirmation?

    Since the last scene of Game of Thrones’ fifth season, fans have been looking for Kit Harrington more than rats look for cheese. There were multiple speculations of his return to the show and fans were out to look for evidence.

    He was spotted with his Jon Snow look in many locations giving a big clue to everyone as HBO tried to make people believe otherwise.

    At an interview in September, Kit Harrington stated “Let’s just say that Game of Thrones will remain a part of my life for a while, I’ll probably be in my thirties when it’s over”.

    And GOT book lovers came up with their own theories mostly circling around Lady Melisandre and her magic powers who is expected to resurrect him.

    While fans looked for more such cues, HBO revealed a small teaser poster to finally put rumours to rest.

    But the poster could just mean that the show will pick up from Jon Snow’s end. While we can’t do anything but wait till April 2016 to find out Jon Snow’s fate, here’s something that might keep you going.
