JISM AND SELF-SPLATTER

Jim Behrle says of blogs: “right now they seem saturated with jism and self-splatter.”

JISM, it turns out, means BODY in Hindi.

JISM is the name of a commodified-sexy Bollywood film Gary and I watched half of on video the other night. It’s the first Bollywood hit of 2003, they say. Absurdly model-gorgeous couple has illicit affair against Pondicherry beach resort background.

Ripoff of numerous USA films: Nine and a Half Weeks, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Fatal Attraction, the ice cube scene in Do the Right Thing.

A few dull songs but so far, no ensemble dancing. So what’s the point?
