Well, I’m back from the protest. Which turned into sort of a nice day in downtown Chicago. But also a day of ups and downs.

Saturday Small Talk: It’s Hot! And I Should Have Breakfast
It’s very very hot here. And I have to go to the protest downtown, but I am going to get myself breakfast before and lunch after as a reward. Partly because it is too hot to think about cooking or even eating in my apartment, so I should do it while I can while I am out.
Sanju Review (SPOILERS): They Told the Story They Wanted to Tell, Truth Be Damned
I’m back! 6 hours of sleep, and now I am refreshed and ready to move on to the SPOILERS review, after having already written the No Spoilers review. Which will be super fun for me, having just spent a month learning in detail everything about what “really” happened in Sanjay’s life (you can read that here). And therefore knowing just what this film changed. Which is EVERYTHING.
Sanju Review (No Spoilers): Emotionally Hollow
I’m back! From an incredibly hot drive to the theater, back to the sanctuary of my nice cool bedroom, with Dog Hazel stretched out panting on the floor. Time to start writing some kind of a review of this thing.
TGIF: Sanjay Inspired, Best Gym Looks
This comes right up to the line of acceptable objectification. But I think we are still okay, because it’s not like we are saying anything about their basic bodies, or comparing them with non-muscley guys (Abhishek, you are the best), or even muscle to muscle. Merely in terms of the clothes they have chosen to wear, and the moments they have allowed to be photographed, who is the best?
Friday Classics: Wake Up Sid, Ranbir’s Best Performance Before Sanju
Happy Friday! I just rapid re-released all my Sanjay posts, I’m driving to work so I can zip home, walk Dog Hazel and then zip out again to catch the Sanju release at the earliest possible show. Busy times! But first I want to take a moment to remember a completely different kind of film that I still think is Ranbir’s best performance.

YouTube Video on Everything About Sanjay Dutt That Will Be Left Out Of Sanju
I have to admit, this is partly because I thought I looked really good in my new dress. Only it didn’t come through as well in video. Curses! Anyway, the content is good and whatever too.
TGIF (An Early Repost): In Honor of the 4th of July, I Declare Independence…From Clothes (NSFW)
The 4th of July is on a Wednesday this year, so no TGIF. But I couldn’t forgo this post, especially since there are updates to it for this year, so I am putting it up early. And sneaking it out mid-afternoon on a Thursday, hoping that it doesn’t permenantly damage my brand. Whatever, it’s a long week, sometimes you can’t wait until Friday!
Lazy Thursday Discussion Post: What in a Trailer Makes You Go “Yeah, I’ll Watch That Movie” (Inspired By John in Police Uniform in Satyamev Jayete)
It’s hot, the week isn’t over yet, and I am trying to avoid starting Sacred Games (it’s just SO BIG. I’m hoping if I carry it around with me everywhere, I can read it by osmosis). So, let’s have a totally frivolous and silly discussion!
Another New Youtube Video! Shahrukh and the Academy
Filmed immediately after that last video, so I look even hotter. Not “hot” as in “attractive” but “hot” as in “my face is red and my hair is falling down”. But hey, the content is good! And that’s what really matters, right? Good content?
New Box Office Video! I Look TERRIBLE
Well, I made a youtube video. In my hot living room at the end of a long day with Dog Hazel poking and bugging me the whole time. So the appearance is not the best, but the content is great!
Upcoming Movies: Satyamev Jayate, Ek Ladki Ko Dekho, and Zingat!
Hello hello! Twitter had all kinds of homework for me this morning, soooooooooooo many trailers.
Netflix List For June! Almost Nothing Added Besides Lust
Time for a Netflix update! Which I only do once a month or so, so it’s not up to the minute accurate. But hopefully I make up for that with the descriptions I give them. (Accessbollywood.net does the real work of keeping this list updated, you should definitely absolutely subscribe to them for your day to day updates.)

Americans Only Announcement: Where to Donate and Where to Protest Muslim Ban
Sorry non-US folks, this has nothing to do with you. But for those of you in America, the Supreme Court’s decision yesterday on the Muslim Ban is so closely related to the topic of this blog that I want to do a post on it. (no comments, because this is a simple FYI post)
