First Christmas Give Away Winner! Congrats!
I announced a couple of days ago that I was going to try a give away, based on who made the most comments in a given week, over the next 9 weeks. This is the first week, I’m excited, let’s see how this works!!!
Film and Politics, Past and Present News Items
One news item that calls back to a past stand that the industry took in politics, and one item is a stand taken today. Really interesting to think about how things change and how they stay the same.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Detailed Summary Part 2 of ???: Lisa Haydon is the Best!!!
I saw ADHM for the second time last night and, just as I suspected, I enjoyed it much more on a second watch, when I knew what was going to happen and I could focus on just appreciating how they built it up. And this also means I have a much clearer memory of the details, and can come back to my full summary in multiple parts, all renewed and refreshed!
Deleted Song from ADHM released! But Where’s the Other One?
Just like Happy New Year and “Sharaabi” or Dilwale and “Premika”, Karan Johar is keeping the buzz going and celebrating a successful first week of ADHM by releasing another song. But he must be sitting on another song video, because this is not the one I was waiting for!
TGIF Silly Silly Post Which Should Help You Start the Weekend Horny and Hungry
It’s Friday, I had a long week (that Wednesday Cubs game!!!), so my friend and I just spent two hours working on a very very silly personal challenge together. An attempt to answer the question “What flavor/food best encapsulates the feeling of certain movie star’s sexiness?” I did the men and she did the women. (also, she’s a really cool Burlesque dancer under the name “Rosemary Maybe“, just in case she ever comes to your town, you should check her out!)
Happy Birthday Tabu!!!
Tabu is 45 today! Not the biggest star, at least not any more, but one I am inordinately fond of. So, 14 reasons I love her, for the age she was when she made her first film.
New Befikre Trailer! Is this Aditya Working out his Social Anxiety?
I saw the existing trailer on the big screen last night before Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (second watch, many new thoughts!). And seeing it on the big screen, not on my little youtube window, one thing became clear: I really don’t like this movie.
Links! To Articles With Random Filmi Related Content!
I’m sleepy, still haven’t recovered from last night (CUBS WIN!!!) and really can’t face writing another full post. So instead, I am going to recommend other things for you to read while I sleep.
Give Away News!!! Now That It’s Time For the Next Holiday!
Well, Shahrukh’s birthday is over, which means it’s time for me to start revving up for Christmas. I loooooooooooove Christmas. In my Christmas post last year, I said I had 3 Christmas trees. For my one room studio apartment. Well, I went shopping after that, and now I have 8 Christmas trees. And that’s in addition to my Christmas village and my string of 2 foot long light up candy canes. And I several years ago, I found a special way of combining my Christmas and Indian love.
Shahrukh Birthday Photos!!!!
You know, I saw a thing somewhere else that said Gauri and Suhana were hosting it, which sounded really cute, like little Suhana and her Mom spending time together planning the party, and then telling Shahrukh the party came from both of them. But now the pictures are coming out, and I think it might be slightly different. But still cute!
Sardaar Ji: My 2nd Punjabi Movie! Love the Spunky Women!
Thanks to a recommendation in the comments on my Halloween post, I watched Sardaar Ji! My second Punjabi movie! These movies are FUN! And, they make me feel like I am a cool Punjabi woman who can handle anything, at least for a little while.
Shahrukh Interview Second Half! He Changes Shirts!
Don’t panic, he still doesn’t use the buttons. And one of them is white, so a little see-through. It’s all good.
Shahrukh’s Personal Present to Us
He tweeted something! Just to ME! Okay, just to everyone who love him and is always there for him. Including ME! Because I made him a cake.
Another Birthday Gift! Shahrukh Releases a New Interview
He already gave us a Dear Zindagi trailer, which was wonderful, but just to make sure we fully celebrate, he gave us another video as well!
DEAR ZINDAGI TRAILER!!!! The Greatest Birthday Gift of All! He Really Does Love Us!!!!
Yaaaaaaay! A full length song trailer!!!! It looks nice. And I kind of wonder if we are only getting this, a song trailer for a song already released, because of the behind the scenes drama.
Happy Birthday Again Shahrukh! Let’s Look at How You Celebrated!
Booo, no big wave to the crowd and public viewing this year! Boooooooo! Come on Shahrukh, your birthday isn’t about you! It’s about all of us! (have you seen my cake?)
Happy Birthday Shahrukh! Chocolate is the Only Really Appropriate Way to Recreate You!
My cake is done! Thanks to discount Halloween candy I found in my freezer. So beautiful! I can’t wait to eat his nose.
Happy Birthday Shahrukh! Look at my Frosted Cake!
It’s now officially Shahrukh’s birthday in America! Let the bells ring out, the celebrations start! In my apartment, I have now finished frosting my cake.
Happy Birthday Shahrukh!!! In India!!!
It’s not yet November 2 in America, but it already is in India, so I am going to go ahead and start celebrating. Sort of.
Discussion of ADHM by Someone Smarter Than Me (also Box Office)
You know I shouldn’t be your primary source for Indian political and other hard news, right? Because I don’t have a strong background in that, and more importantly, I’m not a journalist. If anything, I’m an analyst. I take news other people have already reported and put it together in interesting ways. Anyway, moviemavengal just tweeted me an article that does all the hard news work of the ADHM protests for me. Check out this link.
Shivaay Summary! The Whole Stupid Thing!!! Mostly Action Scenes
Third and final Shivaay post! I already put up a No Spoilers review, and a Spoilers review. Now it’s time for the more specific detailed summary of the whooooooooole movie.
Happy 1 day to Shahrukh’s birthday!!!!
Yaaaaaay! For the 1 day, the final day, here is the 1 way that Shahrukh makes me feel. And, okay, I’m going to go a bit over the top here, but I figure, if you’ve come with me this far, you feel the same way. Plus, I’m all caught up in the holiday spirit!
Happy Birthday Aish!
Aish is not my favorite actress ever, or my favorite public persona person. But on her birthday, I am going to follow a “if you can’t say anything nice…” policy, and just focus on her dancing, which is incredible. She shows both Bharat Natyam training, and a really good ability to sell a dance onscreen. So here are my 12 favorite Aish dances.
