I am not even halfway through Meena's response yet and this made me so mad I had to post it right away:

ShahRukh Khan dances like a "spasmic Stallone"

What the hell is this man talking about! He dances wonderfully and given the fact that he has a bad back on top of that is even more reason to sing his praises. Chalte Chalte had great dancing in Ghum Shuda especially. I am sitting here with two herniated disks in my neck and I can barely turn my head this morning. The fact SRK could dance like that right before surgery for the same thing is amazing to me!

Also one thing I didn't like in this guy's other article:

http://www.time.com/time/sampler/article/0,8599,459899,00.html

Was when he said:

"Now here's why Bollywood will not be the new Hong Kong. Because the average Indian film is nearly twice as long as the average Hong Kong film. Because Bollywood films imitate an unfashionable genre (the romantic melodrama) while Hong Kong movies imitate and apotheosize the American action film. Because Bollywood films are usually about reconciling family tensions — their deepest connections are domestically vertical rather than horizontal — whereas Hong Kong and contemporary Hollywood movies are about friends, enemies and lovers; the heroes in these might as well be orphans. Because Bollywood is essentially a feminine genre, while Hong Kong is macho; and guys rule! And because, in Bollywood movies, people sing and dance like they mean it; and nothing can turn off a young male like a sentiment put to music. To young American trend-setters, Bollywood brown is the new white ... bread. "

I take offense to nearly everything in this paragraph. I don't even know where to start! I will add more comments but want to finish reading Meena's post first.
