Happy Saturday! Supposedly we will get a bunch of thunderstorms today that will turn the 99 degree weather into a more tolerable high 70s. But I will believe it when I see it. In the meantime, I will spend my day hiding in air conditioned spaces.
Continue readingYesterday I treated myself to a double bill, because I had the day off work and it’s super hot so I wanted movie theater air conditioning. This was a kind of random pick based on showtimes and the trailer looking cute. I don’t exactly regret watching it, but I’m also not super happy I did.
Continue readingIt’s hot, I want to still be on vacation, let’s do a lazy question! It’s really just picking between a handful of movies for your favorite, a classic fandom challenge.
Continue readingIf you are a dog person, and an American, I am sure you are wondering. Since the 4th of July is a bit of a nightmare for many dogs. And dog owners.
Continue readingI already wrote a No Spoilers review, you should read that if you are planning to see this movie. But if you aren’t planning to see it, because you spend your life worrying about social issues and want to take time off when you go to the movies, you can read this review instead and know what all the fuss is about.
Continue readingI saw it! To celebrate the 4th of July! And it was quite quite good, in multiple ways. I encourage you to see it if you are a) interested in film narrative techniques or b) interested in confronting social issues. Don’t see it if you are a) interested in love stories or b) spend your entire life dealing with social issues and go to the movies to escape.
Continue readingThis is a post I wrote for his birthday, but it’s really quite good! And fun to read and discuss. I already did the first 13 early today, here are the last 12.
Continue readingThis is a rerun from his birthday celebration. Some of these are straight up sequel suggestions, some of them are just sketching in the backstory for characters who don’t really have a backstory. But I think they are all fun! And should be pleasant on a holiday for you all to read and comment about without needing to think too hard.
Continue readingMore FanFic reruns from his birthday month! I am sure you will all have Thoughts in the comments about what I should have included and did not, along with what I included and shouldn’t have, and various other changes I should have made. And that’s fine, think of this as just a starting point!
Continue readingThis is by no means an exhaustive list, feel free to jump in with your own suggestions. I’m just listing off the first songs that come to mind for me when I think about Indian movies set in America.
Continue readingI’m back! And we are now done with Dharmendra. At least, as the leading character. Time to move him back to a supporting role and bring in some younger actors.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And, if you are in America, Happy Day Before a Day Off Work!!!! I am so excited, I love random days off work.
Continue readingI really hope some of you watched this film. Or are ready to discuss it with me either way. It’s a fascinating look at a relationship.
Continue readingThank you Niki for alerting me that this exists! And now I’ve watched it and I am honestly not sure what to say about it. So I guess this is more of a discussion post than anything.
Continue readingHuh! What an odd pattern! America continues to reject Kabir Singh, and so does New Zealand, but every where else loves it. What do American and New Zealand have in common? That feels like a riddle, but I am honestly asking. Of course, New Zealand also loved Loveyatri. Maybe they are just weird down there. (as always, figures from bollywoodhungama)
Continue readingHappy Shahrukh Summer! You realize if I spin this out long enough it will go right into “30 Days of SRK” in the lead up to his birthday? But we will probably all be sick of him by then.
Continue readingI like this movie. It’s fun, it’s light-hearted, and yes there are some bits that just don’t work, but overall I like watching it.
Continue readingI am mostly excited about the Jabariya Jodi trailer, but so long as I am talking about it, I might as well throw in the couple of new songs from other movies.
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy July! I was going to say “July in America”, but it’s July everywhere, right? The weather and the holidays may vary, but the actual day on the calendar doesn’t. In other news, it is still super hot here and my brain is melting.
