BADE MIYAN, CHOTE MIYAN

I went to see this twice at the Century 14 Vallejo, here in Vallejo, CA on Monday's Senior Day and today's Bargain All Day Tuesday. Monday's admission price was $8.00. Today's admission price was $6.50.

Auditorium 9, B-6

Scene Commentaries:

I 1st saw this yesterday, Monday, April 15th, 2024, in the same auditorium and in the same seat as in today's show. The movie time shown is from yesterday's. Today's time is for the 6:20 p.m. show. I had to see this movie a 2nd time because I fell asleep for the better part of the 2nd half of this movie. 😴 I had the same Zero Sugar PK Hydrate flavored 20 oz ( 591 ml ) Dasani bottled water ( yesterday's was Citrus flavored, today's flavor is Wild Strawberry ). And I had the same lunch to go with the water: Genius Gourmet Chocolate Dream Keto Bar & a cup of Haldiram's ( Yogi approved 👌👳‍♂️👍 ) Bombay Mix. Eating popcorn while watching a Bollywood movie or Lollywood movie just seems so out of place.

That's a Field Artillery Cannon that the bad guys are using, similar to this one:

Interestingly, the US Constitution allows 

a citizen to have & own one of 

these near-obsolete 

Bad Boys!

The main bad guy probably bought this off a US Citizen arms dealer! Even though it's about ⅓ of the cost of a tracked artillery cannon, it takes extra time just to set it up. 😰 Which is why it doesn't make any sense for their field artillery cannon to effectively track, aim and shoot at the moving vehicles!  🤦‍♂️ An RPG would have done a better job of it!  😕

Meta Human, Bollywood's answer to Hollywood's Wolverine.  😃

Nepotism in Terrorism. Except it doesn't always work out the way it's supposed to. Look up "The Son of Hamas." 

"Cricket & Bollywood." What happened to Football? I mean, I just watched it!  😧  MAIDAAN, anyone ... hello?  🤨

Why didn't the bad guys have Outposts? 🤷‍♂️ They could've heard the chopper coming if they had outposts guarding their territorial perimeter.  😕

Some of those bad guys hit with an arrow could have easily squeezed off a round as they were dying.  😏

A bad guy was hit with a knife 🗡️ in his Upper Back. Judging by the width of the blade and the fact that it struck perpendicularly to the ground, it couldn't have caused a fatal hit by either hitting the Scapula or getting lodged between a couple Ribs.  🤨

Bade Miyan casually walked down the stairs but none of the bad guys already had their weapons drawn, aimed and ready to fire.  🙄

No biryani for the bad guy!  😀

In an active shoot-out, the COMMON SENSE Rule is Fire At Will!  Unless you're ordered to Ceasefire ❗

Military vehicles in active use don't need to be hot-wired to get them started. They're all push-button to start. My family's first vehicle, a decommissioned Korean War 1-Star General's Jeep still had a starter button even though it had already been made to operate with a key ignition. I had a co-worker who was a US Army Sergeant in charge of the Vehicle Inventory during The Iraq War. He said that their HumVees were all push-button to start. I mean, think about it. If you have to mobilize ASAP, do you really need to go fumbling or looking for a key? Why do you think that during the Disastrous Kabul Extraction, the rebels were able to have immediate use of our Taxpayer-funded military vehicles courtesy of Dangerous DOTARD brandon? 🤨

Why couldn't the bad guys chase down a couple of horses?  🤷‍♂️

Self-Reliant bad guys.  😁

Bitter Gourd can be eaten raw. I know because I've eaten it raw a number of times:

AKA Bitter Melon or Ampalaya

in the Philippines.

And, yes, as its name implies, it is bitter. If you eat it raw, it's only bitter in the 1st few bites. But then it becomes sort of sweet; it also is crunchy. It's one of the "Bitter Herbs" that are good for the Liver. It's also used to control Diabetes.

Why is the bad guy using a Tweezer to extract a lodged bullet? 🤷‍♂️ It's the kind of Tweezer that I use for my Nose Hairs! And it's not even always effective at pulling out a nose hair on the 1st try! A real doctor would have used a pair of Medical Forceps!  🧐

If you're given just a 15-second headstart, it will be a good idea to shorten the distance first to shave off a second or two, as a safety margin of error.

If someone slams you hard against a concrete wall that the wall crumbles, there's no chance in Hell that you'll be able to just "walk it off"! 

They're fighting each other inside the cargo van when it suddenly makes a sharp, hard left turn. But they still manage to stay standing up!  🤦‍♂️

Nobody told the bad guys that it is easy to break free of a single piece of ziptie restraint. 🤫

The Evil Twins. 😲

Cloning isn't an easy process. It will take decades more to perfect the Cloning Technique:

DNA Permission.

Most, if not all, DNA heritage/ancestry services sell their collected data to China. It's for a biological weaponization of some sort, according to conspiracists who have a good track record for accuracy. 😳 

If you want to track your ancestral lineage, just go to the Mormons. It's safer that way.  👍

Chote Miyan forgot to get a military style haircut! 💈 🤦‍♂️💈

Why don't they just reach a compromise? Instead of altogether terminating the Soldier X program, they should have a number of them around to handle extreme covert operations!  😕

Innovators always meet with initial resistance.

Why was he the only one with a Gas Mask on?

Why didn't the posted armed guards not shoot at them as they were about to successfully escape from the burning platform? 🤷‍♂️

"Intention is more important than capability."

Sanctions are just a Lip Service. It's not working against Israel, hamas, iran, Russia, etc. For as long as YUGE Profits can be made, there will always be War Profiteers.

After 3 days of being kept awake, they should have been sporting bags under their eyes.  😄

An armored vehicle with an Achilles Heel: Rubber Tires!  🤦‍♂️

The Secret Password ❗

Lip Syncing Only Works If Only ONE Is Doing It. Besides that, having others lip sync with you just doesn't sound right. Especially if one of the "singers" is of a Different GENDER ❗🤦‍♂️❗

Tidbit:

This is not related to the movie. But just enjoy it.  😲

synopsis/overview:  Some zoo animals band together to help Griffin Keyes ( Kevin James ), their kind-hearted zookeeper, get a mate for life, breaking their "No talking to humans" code of  silence in doing so.  But convinced that the only way to get the girl of  his dreams is to  accept his brother Dave's ( Nat Faxon )  offer to work for him at his exotic cars dealership, Griffin decides to quit his zookeeper job, sending the animals in a panic at the prospect of  losing him.

favorite scenes:  The Soaring in the Air dance.

The proposal inside  the car dealership.


audience reaction:  The audience liked this movie.  Although, nobody gave it a "Hands Clapper"  ending.


recommendation:  I liked it enough to recommend it as a Kid's movie for parents to take their brats to.


spoiler alert!  The movie poster up above was obviously photo-shopped to make Kevin look skinnier.  If  you put a message in a bottle, you have to tie it up after you roll it tight; otherwise, it will unroll and you will not be able to take it out unless you use a pair of  forceps or break the bottle.  The puncture wound on Griffin's left cheek would appear and disappear with every other shot of  his face during the porcupine barbed quill scene. Griffin was already well-aware of  their presence when he was peeing on the tree and shouldn't have turned around in surprise.  I worked as a "houseman" at a hotel ( Concord Hilton ) once, and I can tell you that we didn't hang curtains/draperies that securely!

Here is a list of  animal tips for Getting and Keeping a Mate that should have been added to this film:

Lion = Why settle for just one when you can have a harem-full of  mates?
Gorilla = Take her on a fancy date to T.G.I. Fridays.
Bear = Give her a good hug.
Giraffe = Be an expert in the art of  "Necking."
Monkey = Forget your thumb--use your middle finger!
Elephant = Show her your  "ivory tusk" and swing your appendage around!
Wolf = First, sniff  her crotch to make sure that the bitch is in heat and, therefore, is ripe for the taking.  Then, "doggie-style" it, you stud-farm stud, you!


fyi:  I have a drinking bottle that I take to work on occasion.  Just so nobody else would take it or throw it away, I personalized it with this hand-written label:  STUD-MUFFIN SODA: Studly Softdrink Only For Stud-Farm Studs!

Robin ( Steffiana De La Cruz ) is way better looking than either Stephanie ( Leslie Bibb )  or Kate ( Rosario Dawson )!  Steffiana is actually Kevin James' wife in real life.

Rosario Dawson, just like Julia Roberts, has uneven nostrils.

Back when I was a little kid in Kidapawan, Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines, I would get  some playtime fun with a stick and an old tire, standing it on end and rolling it down the dirt road with the aid of  the stick.  The Cebuano word for this kind of  child's play  is, Padidit.

word of  advice:  "All is fair in Love and War."   Francis Edward Smedley ( 1818-1864 ), English novelist

tidbits:  I was at a grocery store in Benicia, CA, earlier today, at around 10:10 a.m.  I was over by the mushrooms section when the whole area became  permeated by an overwhelming scent  of  a woman's perfume. And I knew who wears that scent all the time!  But I couldn't see the woman anywhere.  Soon enough, though, she appeared from around the corner with her husband.  If  she were the size of  a tiny doll, I would tie a string around her neck and dangle her from my car's rear-view mirror because she'd be the perfect kind of  air freshener for it!  With the kind of  strong perfume that she always has on, this woman could easily get away with letting out a silent stinky fart in a crowded elevator.

After I got home from work, I decided to switch cars and use my Geo Metro to go see this movie, just to charge-up its battery after getting it back from the auto body shop yesterday where they repaired  the left quarter panel ( above the left rear tire ).  I swung by Hector's place to drop-off  a loaf  of  french bread and to watch the TV show, HOARDERS, while waiting for the movie time.

I took a picture of  my Geo Metro in the 3rd level of  the theatre's parking garage after the movie.

I love my 1994 Geo Metro.  It is very dependable and very economical to drive.  It doesn't consume oil or leak oil.  It never failed a smog check or smog test.  And it holds a lot of  sentimental value:  It's my last connection to my late mother and to my late favorite cat, Winky, the orange tabby Manx.

This is not my cat, Winky.  I got this picture from the Internet just to give you, my readers, an idea of what an orange tabby Manx cat looks like.  Do you notice the missing tail? It's a Manx Cat characteristic. This breed is probably the most intelligent of  all cat breeds.  And I am one to know from personal experience. 

So, what do I think of  my rental car, the 2010 Nissan Versa sedan?  It's definitely more quieter on the freeway than either my Geo Metro or my Hyundai Accent.  It can go 180+ miles on 5 gallons of  gas--my Metro and my Accent get better gas mileage.  But it has oddities about it that I found unappealing:  Its cupholders are not in good locations; it revs hard and takes a while before it will accelerate on the freeway; its rear section gets noisy when you go over a speed bump; and it doesn't have a separate rear-window defroster.

The total costs for the repair and rental are:

auto body repair deductible = $250.00

rental car fee = $121.99

gasoline = $20.00

bridge toll = $15.00

________________

total = $406.99

( no thanks to that Chinese bitch who did a hit-and-run on my car! )

Total miles put in the rental car:  Approximately 323 miles.

On my way home, I swung by the Baldo's Restaurant here in Vallejo, CA, for a quick dinner.  I ordered the Carne Asada Nachos with a small Tropicana Lemonade, all for $10.32.

I was at this Baldo's Restaurant last month when I observed the strangest thing out in the back of  their parking lot as I made my exit.  By their garbage dumpster, three stray cats were eating something ( dry cat food? ) on the ground when a possum, just half their size, went over and joined them for "din-din".   All three cats just ignored the extremely-vulnerable-to-attack possum.  That was just too weird for me to behold.  Either that possum had a stupid death-wish or it was desperately hungry.  ( As a side-note, I haven't seen that possum since.  We can only "guesspeculate" about what happened to it after that night. )


Special  Announcement:  I would like to take this time to say, Thank You and Welcome, to my readers in these countries ...


Cameroon and Paraguay


Thank you, once again.  Please keep on reading my weekly updates.  And don't forget to tell your friends, and everyone else who you know, about my movie blogsite.
