Bahubali 2 Scene by Scene Detailed Analysis: Part 4! Anushka and Prabhas’ Unique Romance
Happy Thursday! I was going to do two posts yesterday, but instead I did one summary post and one speculative post. And I think the speculative post is a little better written! Check it out. And to try to get this back on track, I am starting to slow down to 2,000 words for every 5 minutes. And at that pace I will never be finished! (part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here)
Tubelight Teaser!
Well, this was agony. I saw on twitter before work that it would be coming out this morning, and then I had to wait and wait and wait until I was finally able to watch it when I got home. And now I have!
Quick Speculative May The Fourth Post
Obviously, today is Star Wars day. And also a day when I am super busy at work and can’t really focus. But I can do a “speculative” post without any problems! I get so caught up in my little imaginary worlds, that nothing can shake me. So, let’s do a mini Star Wars fest! (updated version of this post here)

Bonus Speculative Post: The Scenes That Are Missing From Bahubali 2
I just can’t resist writing this! We’ve been all talking and agreeing in the comments that there were big character moments “missing” from Bahubali 2. And I was suddenly struck with inspiration and I just have to write my version of how those scenes would go.
Bahubali 2 Full Detailed Summary Part 3: Enter Anushka!
Happy Wednesday! By the way, this is your Tuesday Telugu post (one day late) as well. It was going to be Enthiran/Robot which suddenly popped up on Netflix streaming. But Bahubali 2 is taking up all my time, so you are going to have to wait another week before I write that up. (part 1 here, part 2 here)
Wednesday Watching Post, Bahubali 2 Week Edition 2
Happy Wednesday! I have still only seen Bahubali 2 once and I am beginning to question all my life decisions.
My Sister’s in Chennai! Thus, I Missed a Post Today
I don’t know if anyone pays as much attention to my scheduling of these things as I do. But if you do, you will have noticed that I put out my early/midmorning post today, and my middle-of-the-day post, but I missed my evening post. It’s because of a bunch of reasons, which all boil down to one: my sister’s in Chennai!
Happy Birthday Anushka! One Day Late! (sorry)
Oops! I missed Anushka’s birthday yesterday! She turned 29 (Ah! I am older than Anushka!)! Wow, she’s young! Let’s see if I can come up with 29 reasons to love her. (This is an updated and reposted post from last year)
Hindi Film 101 One-Off: Bahubali 2 and the Future and the Past of All India Hits
I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing a post that tries to put Bahubali 2‘s all India success into context. And then both T.J Stevens and Cerusee indicated that they would be interested, so the poor Samarth-Mukherjee family has to wait another week for me to finish them, because I want to try a brief history of “regional” films.
Su Su sudhi Vathmeekam: Learning to Accept Your Flaws, Not Hate Them
What an interesting movie! It’s about stuttering, but not really. It’s about growing up, but not really that either. And it’s also a little bit about Mukesh being a really nice guy. It’s all of these things combined, it’s just sort of about life.

I accurately predicted, 5 days ago, that Bahubali 2 would be #3 at the US box office at the end of the weekend. So this is one of those HA HA HA HA HA I WAS RIGHT I AM QUEEN OF EVERYTHING posts. My favorite kind! Well, no, my favorite kind is HA HA HA HA SRK WAS RIGHT HE IS KING OF EVERYTHING. Because I am a sick sick obsessed person. But this one is pretty good too!
Happy May Day! Here Are Some Ways You Can Support Workers
Happy May Day! You know how India has all these holidays that are very regional specific and how neat that is? Well, May Day is an international holiday now, but it started right in my hometown, so I thought I should celebrate it. And I don’t have the day off work, so I can’t join the many many many protests. But I can do a theme post!
