I watched the new Bond movie the other day. It’s called Skyfall and it was pretty great, because for once, 007 relies on his wits and charm, instead of a watch that turns into an invisible plane with great breasts and X-Ray vision so powerful, it can see through Nitin Gadkari’s financial assets. Skyfall is one of those films that you have to watch in theaters, because no Bond film experience is complete without jaw-dropping action, heart-stopping chase sequences, and one Gujarati man behind you explaining “Jo havve Gems Bond aavse” to his wife, every time things get tense.

I love watching movies in theaters, because the experience has evolved (and because it saves me some download space). Single-screen theaters are being replaced by the multiplex, which comes from the latin word ‘multi’ meaning ‘many’ and ‘plex’ which means ‘everything sounds cooler when it ends in x’. Multiplexes have more screens, so instead of settling for one terrible Akshay Kumar movie, you can now choose between three horrid Akshay Kumar movies, an even worse Jacky Bhagnani one, or a critically-lauded Bengali film about a man having a six-hour long existential crisis about where the ‘a’ went from Ajay Devgn’s last name.
