Thank you for "Not Criticising" - The Puss Side of Pusswedilla

Reviews. They are supposed to be a critical analysis of something you have experienced, in your own opinion. And everyone has a right to it. No matter whether it’s short or long, comes from an idiot or a braniac, a review is a review. A mere personal opinion.

Recently, I went to watch “Thank you for Voting part 2 (Mr Puswedilla)” a so called comedy at Lionel Wendt produced by Stage, Light and Magic. Of course after the event I was not at all impressed with the crappy jokes it included although the acting was awesome as hell. I made my opinion in facebook event page stating that the acting was superb although some jokes were lame but all in all it was ok. And PRESTO. Stage, Light and MAGIC ! The next day, my comment was gone and I am blocked from the event. Not only my comment was removed but all the other negative comments have been removed. Hello, is this how some producer treats an individual who took time and money to see his production and has something to say about it? Are you gay?

Well, well, mister Kamardeen, you got it wrong. You only want to hear praises eh? So called review articles written by people who will find your drama to be perfect, all the radio stations who never have anything NEGATIVE to say about your drama. Well, if your drama was that perfect, wonder why it is not world class. Even the best dramas in the world have negatives and they are openly criticised. But this drama crew is never open to critics, well yeah, only POSITIVE critics. Comments which I have made for the most recent performance by SLM “Hamlet at Elsies” was never removed. Yeah, you guessed it right, it was all positive. We know the jinx which happens behind the scene when Sri Lankan newspapers write reviews! They write only positives, especially when the said newspaper/radio station is sponsoring it. Isn’t it lame?

Coming back to the drama, it was plain stupid (again, in my opinion, and mister BIGSHOT Feroze, you don’t have a say in that). Just because you twist a word to sound funny (Impeachment to Impeachung) which may make the audience laugh due to an actor’s brilliance doesn’t mean it is a clever, witty joke. And the drama was full of crap like that, I do not even remember them. No wonder some people find it very funny because I saw some people laugh at the normal, untwisted disclaimer notice text as well. Most of the things in drama did not make sense at all. Having a French ambassador or a “baila” minister which never contributed to the story line (if there was any) at all and loads more crap just inserted into the drama just to make it sound lamely funny and not to forget to commercialize it! I do not have any issues with the commercializing part though.

BUT, I definitely do have issues with the lame facebook event administrator who doesn’t want to accept criticism or opinions from the general public, and finds it offensive to make such comments so that he blocks that person from the event as well. (until he realizes he has done a wrong thing). Anyway, DUDE, try deleting this comment ! And I wish you luck doing that.

I have watched almost every drama to hit the Wendt (Sinhala and English), made comments on event walls but never for a bunch of “self-proclaimed perfectionists” like STAGE, LIGHT AND MAGIC!

You guys are the kind of people who think everything you do is right and make the world a candidate for war. Even Prabhakaran thought everything he did was right! DAMN these clones!
