Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Mother’s Day! And yaaaaaaaaaaaay, classic 70s movie discussion! And yayayayayay, Zoom meeting! I’ll summarize what we said on Zoom so y’all can participate through comments.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, I get to see all your lovely faces!!!! And also talk about Aradhana!!!! For MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaay, a Zoom Discussion! Hopefully this gives y’all enough time to watch the movie. Cleverly, I scheduled it late enough that I have the option of just watching it between the end of my work day on Friday and the start of the Zoom.
Continue readingLet’s stick with the long ridiculous 70s movie theme! And also feminist! Sharmila is 100% the hero of this movie, even if it was Rajesh Khanna’s big break.
Continue readingThis is a suggestion from adh1325 and it’s a great one! Everyone loves Masoom, right? And there is soooooooooooooo much to discuss!
Continue readingDO NOT read this without seeing the movie! It’s a film that will reward re-watching, but you really should experience it first without knowing what is coming, it was built to provide surprises, let the film do what it was intended to do. And then, AFTER watching it, come back here to discuss.
Continue readingThis was a good good good good movie! Very classic murder mystery, in that it’s all about the place and the characters and so on as much as the details of the central mystery. With that in mind, also be warned that it has a bit of a grey view of human nature. Everyone can do good things and bad things, and everyone has secrets, it’s a thinker of a movie.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have two exciting things happening today! First, I may have Jury duty! I’m supposed to call in the afternoon to find out if I have to go in tomorrow. First Jury duty EVER. Second, I just started doing simple Core exercises in an attempt to stop having a sore back all the time. So far I have learned that my core muscles are ridiculously weak.
Continue readingFinally the actual watchalong post! It’s time! I got my dinner (butter chicken! I made it myself by pouring sauce from a jar onto chicken!) and I am very happy.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am very VERY excited about doing a WatchAlong with y’all. My housemates are spending the day at C2E2, the huge Chicago fanfest which sounds crowded and unpleasant. Thank goodness I can celebrate my fandom from my couch with my dog and my lovely internet friends!
Continue readingWow, it’s been a long time since I did a TGIF! But I am finally back in the situation that inspired them. It’s Friday, I’m working from an office, I’m bored and Friday brain, but doing this TGIF makes it look like I’m still working.
Continue readingWatchAlong! Woot-woot! We haven’t done on in foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever. And we can finally watch Kuch Naa Kaho because it is available for rent on Prime!
Continue readingFirst, sorry sorry sorry, I just realized I missed Angie’s birthday! But I put Genevieve’s on my personal calendar so I would DEFINITELY not miss it!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got home yesterday afternoon and I kind of want to just sit and stare into space all day. But I can’t, because it is a work day, blech!
Continue readingI’m so excited! I’m doing a last minute lightening visit, ready to push in lots of quality time.
Continue readingI was gonna say that enough time has passed that we can have an interesting discussion about OJ. And then I realized that isn’t true, it’s not time it’s people. We are all caring people with high emotional understandings and intellectual abilities. I have faith that those of us who are already familiar with the ins and outs of what OJ Simpson meant to America can discuss him calmly, and that we can make the discussion open and welcome to folks who may not be as familiar.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am in my new office (my company finally got an office again after shutting down during the pandemic) feeling homesick for my living room. Which is 4 blocks away. So close and yet so far!
Continue readingWoohoo! We’re doing it! I will send the link to those of you who requested it.
Continue readingI love love love Zanjeer. And I was soooooooo happy that it came up as a suggestion. Okay, a suggestion I made, but STILL!!!! It’s also surprisingly short for a 70s film, and on einthusan, so in theory y’all can watch it within the next week (if you haven’t seen it already as you should have).
Continue readingYou know how sometimes you schedule things in your head and forget to schedule them in the Real World? I had it in my head that we would do a Zoom discussion of Crew this weekend but I totally forgot to put it out into the universe.
Continue readingYes, 3 important topics for us all to crowdsource! I have high hopes from you. If nothing else, I hope to get a settled answer on the pronunciation.
Continue readingHappy April Fools Day! What a dreadful holiday. I was trying to think of a fun nice prank to put up for this post and everything I thought of just felt MEAN. Is it possible there is no fun nice prank that exists in the world?
Continue readingI don’t want you to spoil yourself on this movie, because there’s a whole lot of twists and things that aren’t in the trailer. But I DO want you to spoil yourself on this movie because there’s some bits where it feels like our heroines are doing the wrong thing, and I want you to know that it’s okay.
Continue readingSuch a fun movie! I took Friday off this week (not for the movie, for spring cleaning) and I went to a midday show. The perfect spring film to watch on a sunny afternoon.
Continue readingScheduling is DIFFICULT! I try not to do it around one person, but FilmiKudhi has been begging for Kuch Naa Kaho foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeer, I can’t do it the one weekend she can’t make it. On the other hand, Crew is releasing this weekend! Will most people be able to watch it in time for a Zoom call? Or should we wait until next week?
