Ilayaraja' Symphony and Shyamalan' Village? Any opinions?

what is happenin to the forum. dull for 3 weeks or so? ok, here is a irrelevant topic, but it is a betting game kind of.

Been following Shyamalan' involvement in hyping and marketing of this latest film. some "Signs" that it could be Unbreakable unlike crop circles. Shyamalan is more a marketing guy than a film maker, and seems to enjoy the attention also. I can see he is disguising his real basis (only aliens from space can scare white people into believing in God, etc....) behind shoddy endings deliberately probably to burst the bubble around him before it got too bad. I guess, he is feeling cooked, even a light music type film Signs made money, so he doesn't have to think and make much effort as he has figured the audiences also are not thinkers. My feelings, Village will have a punished opening collect less than 99 million. OR, it could have a super opening and go 200 mill if the audience forgives his hype but likes his cool attitude. How long can Shyamalan simmer like this with supsense thriller romance drama etc.., unless he breaks out of this spiritual suspense and move on to musicals?????? I have a feeling MNS could survive by introducing song-n-dance-comedy-suspense thriller-family-drama from Chennai itself if The Village stinks. IR' Symphony may prepare the audiences world-wide for such possibilities. Again, do you think IR has a great Symphony for Thiruvasakam as in Symphony Symphony? or How To Name It on Symphonic Orchestra, which will take the rest of the world a few centuries to even figure out what the heck. Anyone has comments about these two geniuses, one trying to break his genre bubble for which he is caged almost like a freak, the other just plain centuries ahead before the world can catch up with him? Will MNS have "contrasting" ideas left and should he not take to musical movies to dish out new stuff? Because MNS has an acute sense of music, no doubt and I can bet his many deliberately slow movies could have done better with some musical moods. He is like Balu Mahendra without IR.

  IR is nothing but a lazy composer, he's not alive as he was bak in the day, his music sounds good , don't get me wrong, it just doesn't have that appeal any more, his last good album was Virumandi, but before that he hasn't delievered anything worthy to listen to, he shouldnt be compared to ARR, as they are two different composers with different styles. ARR has revived the tfm with boys, as they wern't any big hits for a while and his next hit with superstar Rajini in "Jaghubhai'' as his last albums with him were remarkablE>> BABA ( sathi kodu , best trak), Padiyappa, Muthu. IR needs another 'time' or 'friends', and i think he's not capable of doing so by listening to his latest realeases, virumandi was only average, but better than expected from him, i hope he does deliver to satisfy his loyal fans. But you guys have to admit ARR is more varied, cmon, arr's music gives you a incredible feeling that can provoke a tear ( ama from new), provoke goin crazy on the dance floor ( fanah-ae), provoke goosebumps ( en uyire thozia - kks), IR lacks it compared to arr as a previous poster said ...from reggae 'no problem' to jazz 'hello mr erkitch' to dance 'fanah' and my additions ghana 'tippu tippu' ( baba), folk 'songs from kizhakku cheemaiyile and karuthama, hip hop few songs from boys, and qwaaliz 'noor un ala' ( meenaxi), whatever it iz arr done or iz going to do it, face reality ppl...

  IR's attempt at western fusion is great.
  Something which happens once in thousand nine hundred and seventy five years!

  Another request :
  Why not be a bit polite not referring old people (>60 yrs of age) as `lazy' etc.? After all this genius who composed 100's of hit numbers each year when younger, probably needs more time to do his work now...Just think about how fast you will do things when you are 60...
