Happy Saturday! I had a late night last night, hung out with my friend and her 2 year old for a long time then was up late writing my Love Aaj Kal 2 review, so I will be sleeping in and taking it easy today.

Love Aaj Kal 2 Review (SPOILERS): A Beautiful Exploration of How Things Have Gotten Better For Women in Romance in the Past 30 Years
Such a good movie! I’m SHOCKED! The trailers looked really terrible, and the concept made no sense (why remake a movie that is barely 10 years old?), and it was filmed in what felt like no time at all. And then it turns out to be a really deep interesting consideration of the problems of women in modern India. Who’d have thought?
Continue readingLove Aaj Kal 2020 Review (No Spoilers): Another Beautiful Imtiaz Ali Romance
Yep, it’s a good movie! And Karthik and Sara both do wonderful jobs, especially Sara. Once again, Imtiaz’s vision failed to be captured by the trailers.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Happy Valentine’s Day! A Gift for You, a New JHMS Review, JHMS and Sexual Compatibility as a Real Romantic Obstacle
I love writing about JHMS!!!! And this will get me hyped to go see Imtiaz’s new film which I’m really not that excited about.

Do you like cute dog photos? Do you like heart shaped cookies? I have a post for you!
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex TGIF: Which Classic Actress Image is the Sexiest?
Objectifying women is wrong. BUT! If an entire image is carefully crafted, with the full participation of the model, to evoke sexuality, they we aren’t objectifying, we are talking about Art. You’ll see, these aren’t like “oo, I can see her breast” photos, these are classic elaborate really beautiful images. But which is the BEST?
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Why Women Fantasize, and Sanam Tere Kasam
This is NOT a review of Sanam Tere Kasam. Okay, the second half is. But the first half is just a discussion of female romantic fantasies, and it’s important, and you should read it even if you don’t care about the rest of it.

Happy travels! Here is a last little digital good luck wish for you. Swing back and tell us how things are going if you have time/internet ability!
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Doosra Aadmi, Sex and Marrying Too Young
This is such a good interesting movie! I watched it years ago and yet I still remember it well enough to write a review, which is a sign of a very good movie.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Thought Post: A Woman’s Virginity, What is it in Indian Film?
Oh boy, a Thought Post! These are the posts where I talk a bit too much to call it a “Discussion Post”, but a bit too little to call it a “101”. It’s just a bunch of thoughts, and then you can leapfrog off of it.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex FanFic: Couples Heading for Sexual Dysfunction, Hrithik and Rani to Shahrukh and Kajol to Ranbir and Deepika
You know what we don’t see enough movies about? What happens if the sex is BAD!!!! Luckily, I am here to write those stories. And intellectualize it a little bit so we all feel more classy and less dirty.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Namukku Parkkan Munthirithoppukal
This is a movie that is all about sex, without actually having a sex scene. Sex fantasies, sex experimentation, and sexual violence (nothing explicitly shown, but discussed and treated seriously by the plot). And it is also a movie about love and redemption and freedom. It’s just lovely.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Ranking Post: Of the Films Where Hrithik Had/Will Have Sex, Rank from Best to Worst
I already did this for Shahrukh, and I suspect fewer people will care about Hrithik than SRK. But lets see! And this time I am including movies where he doesn’t actually have sex on screen but will have sex shortly after the film ends.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Ranking Post: Of the Films Where Shahrukh Had Sex, Rank Them in Order From Best to Worst Sex
A vital question for our time. I was going to do a general “hottest sex scene in films where they had sex” ranking post, but the list got too long, so I am breaking it down by actor.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Which Shashi Photo is the Sexiest Shashi Photo?
Are you feeling down? Is the work week getting to you? Or just the general February blahs? I have a cure! Let us all stare at Shashi Kapoor photos, until we are ready to stop.

Happy Wednesday! I’m having a tiring week at work this week, the days are just packed, it’s Wednesday and it feels like Friday already. Thank goodness for Valentine’s Week of Sex to cheer me up!
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 2! What Does Yash Chopra Think Makes Good Sex?
This is a movie with a lot of layers, consideration of parent and child relationships, and changing times, and the generation gap. But it is also about sex, and what makes good sex and bad sex, and why that matters in a relationship.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Kabhi Kabhi Review 1! The Movie that is All About Sex Without Being About Sex
Happy Kabhi Kabhi day! This is my old review, with one paragraph added, but I think I have to do a second review later today specifically about what sex means in this movie because I think Yashji had a very particular reason for showing different interactions between the 5 couples.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Competition Post! Name Twins Compete for Sexiest Crown!
No Shahrukh! He would skew the results. Instead, I am putting a bunch of non-SRKs up against each other in a series of matched pairs. Good news is, you don’t need to have heard of any of these people before!!!!! Just look at the photos and make a snap judgement. Like picking out a bride.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex FanFic Post: Sex Scenes for Ohm Shaanti Oshaana, Aiyyaa, Hasee Toh Phasee, Daawat E Ishq
Another productive and useful post! Or alternatively, a fun post I will enjoy writing even if no one enjoys reading it. I tried to imagine how some of our favorite couples would have handled their “first night”.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex: Band Baaja Baarat, a Great Sex Scene But is it Necessary?
I still think they shouldn’t have had sex in this film. Just because of what it does to the narrative afterwards, STUPID! A kiss would have been a lot better.
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Discussion Post: Of the Couples Who Don’t Have Sex in the Film, Who Will Have the Hottest Sex Once They Do?
Get ready to RANK! And this is going to be hard. I am picking only the sexiest sweetest couples, and you have to pick who is sexier than whom. And yes, I am aware this is a silly thing to discuss and I am lowering the tone of conversation and blah blah. Join me on the low road! (also, if you pick anything besides JHMS for number 1, you are wrong)
Continue readingValentine’s Week of Sex Shahrukh Discussion Post: In Which of These Shahrukh Movies Did He and the Heroine Have Sex?
Yes, this is a silly silly shallow fan post. But who cares, it’s fun to be shallow. And if it isn’t fun for you, you can just not read this post.

Happy Monday before Valentine’s Day! I am either going to be hosting people, or going over to my friend’s house to hang out with her and her baby.

Don’t spoil yourself! Unless you already know a sex violence and magical young love story movie is not for you. In which case, SPOIL yourself! And laugh and laugh and laugh. This plot is real real dumb.
