Peck, Spacey 'n De Niro

this weekend managed to watch 3 gr8 movies...'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'The Usual Suspects' 'n 'Taxi Driver' in that order. Well not so sure abt da 2nd one, coz u kinda guess da ending in da beginning itself... prob @ da time when da movie released it was diff... neways its a decent watch made more so by Spacey's amazing performance.

'n tht's what these 3 movies have in common...superlative performances by their lead actors...which just lift da movies to a higher level...

Peck was just perfect in his role as 'Atticus Finch'....'n till this day only other movie of his i had seen was 'Roman Holiday' 'n had loved him in tht...but he was so so much better in this.... wonder how come they dont make 'em such nemore...
neways, as i watched da movie...bits 'n pieces slowly started coming to me from da half-read book, some aeons back...which in retrospect was gud...coz so often u end up comparing da movie to da book...'n u end up disappointed....but not so this time as da pace, da charm, da telling of da story thru da kids eyes was just outstanding...

Spacey....well he was gud but felt he was better in 'American Beauty' 'n ofcourse tht movie was way way better thn this... :)

De Niro...well wht can u say...words just fail... :D Really what a performance 'n wht a movie! 'n cant believe thts Jodie Foster in da movie...u know wht i mean... :D Neways tht shd be in da must-watch movie list of neone...

Kopete 'n iChat

well...after da umpteenth gaim crash today....thought enough...no more sticking to an IM client which dint support GW, doesn't support 'Now Listening' feature da way its meant to be(even for that, u gotta take so much of pains!) 'n one which just loves to crash every now 'n thn...
So even with my dislike for KDE stuff...'n da last time experience being none too gr8...thought will give 'Kopete' one more try...guess necessity does make human open to more stuff... ;)
After getting myself used to da KDE icons...UI(believe me it does take some getting used to...after da 'oh so simple, plain, uncluttered gnome UI' :) )...delved into da vast feature set which kopete offered...
> 1st thing i saw...it supports GW...not like gaim, where its broken...
> 2nd It allowed you to change the interface themes... 'n to my pleasant surprise...found 'iChat' in thr... :) It is a good 'imitation' ... but nothing more thn tht...coz though it implements da cute 'speaking-style' of iChat...its surrounded in da big ugly KDE chat window...which doesnt let u forget...not even for a moment...tht u r on linux...'n it is an imitation afterall...
But seriously i have major gripes abt tht...y do u need to have such big,ugly window , a major content of which is surrounded by unused/of-little use features...y cant it be like Mac...where chat window is just a 'chat window'...pray how many ppl actually use da drop-down menus in a chat window...file,edit,tools,settings...seriously?!
u wanna do some fancy stuff...go to da toolbar...'n another thing which i like abt da mac is da one menubar which changes depending on da application...y cant linux also have something like tht?
> neways 3rd headed straight into the 'now-listening to' plugin...it seriously da best among wht i have seen so far...da ability to configure so many things...so easily...was just too gud...'n da 'best' part was it did that for my GW IM too...so finally got da thing i wanted since da day i joined work...thnx to kopete... :)
> 4th was some 'Text Effect' plugin...'n using it was so much fun...well 'm sure in a few days da novelty will wear off...but had a blast today...playing ard with my friends...who had no idea how/what was going on... :)
well thats all i have checked out so far...it was defi worth it...even if only for da 3rd feature's last part... :)
