ROHAN....hey man, I know you say you've read the script to Slumdog, but see the movie man! I can't even imagine how reading the script to that movie would do it ANY justice! That movie had like the best sound design I've ever heard, and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful! I really REALLY hope it wins best picture, and you should really check it out!
Also, American Beauty is one of my favorite movies of all time....treat yourself!
