Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Well if you havent guessed it already its Adrien Brody.
Again, a caricaturist's delight with his insanely twisted facial features.
One of the funniest faces in hollywood,but he's got some serious acting chops from what I've seen of him. His Szpilman in 'The Pianist' was great, for which he won the oscar. I'm sure y'all remember the Halle Berry kiss! Outrageous !
He put up a fairly decent performance in 'Hollywoodland', a quiet show in 'King Kong', and oh yeah he perfectly played the village idiot in 'The Village'.
But I loved him the best in 'The Darjeeling Limited', a quirky Wes Anderson comedy where he teams up with Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson(ooh gotta draw him sometime;he's probably in contention for the funniest nose in showbiz along with Brody).

Brody's incredibly mangled nose can be explained by the fact that he's broken it 4 times... He's also got these insanely droopy eyes that give us the impression that he is perpetually stoned.
Closer to home, Sanjay Dutt too has those kinda eyes I feel...
Prince,Anish, if yer reading this I want you to know that I think you resemble mr.Brody...kinda... ;)
PS: saayy, in hindsight this kinda reminds me of Ranbir Kapoor from Saawariya ! hmm...

The above caricature doesnt look that menacing but I feel its got an okay likeness; from a casual reference pic of his...I'll probably revisit it sometime...

In case you do not recognize this,he is one of the most menacing baddies in Hollywood - John Malkovich.
Surely you might have seen some of his movies where he plays the menacing, psychotic baddie ...some great,some forgettable ...
I just love his name,and I mean that in a perfectly straight sense.I just love how it rolls offa the tongue so delightfully: "mal-ko-vich " ! aa-h !
I have fun using that name because it passes off as gobbledygook for those who are ignorant about him.
For instance when someone asks me a silly question I reply with the above name...

mum: who was that on the phone?
me: as if you know all my friend's names...you wouldnt know if I told you.
mum:(thinking:hmm Arun hardly uses the phone...could it be a (shudder) girl??!!)
mum:saying:-> Its ok tell me who it was...
me: John Malkovich !!!
(for the record,more often that not that friend isnt a girl...dang ! seriously folks,mera number kab ayega?)

sister: what movie are you watching ?
me:(thinking: if you havent already figured it out by seeing this scene yet I dont think you need to know...why dont you see the menu or lookup the TV listings)
me: saying-> Being John Malkovich !!!
sis: no way...
me: yes way ! this is a sequel,Being John Malkovich-part 32.5!!!

cousin: hey who is this actor?
me: John Malkovich !
cousin: I'm fed up of that joke ok...who is this? really?
me: John Malkovich ! really !
cousin: bah !
(a case of the boy who cried 'malkovich' once too often)

Or back in college, during Digital Signal Processing class,where me and my friend would decide to have some fun with our lecturer,who we were sure had never seen a hollywood movie in her life,especially not one having Malkovich in it :

us: ma'am we werent able to get that foreign author book...can we go for something else?
ma'am: sure...what do you have?
us: Advanced DSP by John Malkovich and Janusz Kaminski
ma'am: oh ! is it good?
us: oh yes.very !
(for those who came in late,Janusz Kaminski is Spielberg's favored cinematographer,another malkovich-ian name)
...and my electronics lab mini project record still has one John Malkovich in the bibliography section.hah !

'Malkovich' can also easily be substituted for a swear word in case you really fell like cussing in public.Try it, you'll like it and the people around will be none the wiser !
hey if you think I am obsessed with Malkovich, then you should know that this maverick screenwriter called Charlie Kaufman wrote a script called 'Being John Malkovich' and surprise surprise had Malkovich playing himself in it.Directed by Spike Jonze it's a story about this puppeteer played by John Cusack who somehow manages to literally enter the mind of Malkovich.Check it out !
