Road Scenes: How about "Rest in Peace?"

Sleep well...for life.

My attention was instantly caught by this advertisement on a truck parked outside our building. I don't know but that slogan just doesn't sound right..What do you think?

The New Spiderman

Ever since word of a "Spider-Man" reboot was announced, fans have been hungry for any scrap of info about the movie. How will this version differ from Sam Raimi’s hugely successful franchise? How will Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker stack up against Toby Maguire's? Today, we get an early look at the upcoming flick. Check out the pic below.


The photo, the first released from the movie, shows Parker in Spider-Man's iconic red and blue suit sans mask. His face has been scuffed up and his suit, which is more textured and less sculpted than in Spidey's previous incarnation, looks a bit worse for wear.
Garfield, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his turn in “The Social Network,” admits to being daunted playing the legendary web-slinger.

"I see it as a massive challenge in many ways," he told Details magazine. "To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I'm probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn't want to."
We'll have to wait until 2012 to see if Garfield manages to deliver the goods.

Nationalistic Nails

Seen at the Souk Mubarakiya ( Feb.26,2011)

Kuwait is really in a patriotic mood these days because of the just-concluded National and Liberation Days celebrations...everywhere you can see the green, red, black and white--the national colors of Kuwait..there are flag-inspired dresses, there are flag-inspired masks...and yes, even flag-inspired fake nails..
