How are these discussion posts getting more traffic than anything else I have put up in weeks???? Is it possible we are all terribly shallow? Naaaaaaah, surely not!
Continue readingYou can ignore this post, this is mostly me shouting into the void because I am so bored and lonely.
Continue readingNo fair saying “all of them”! You gotta be more specific than that. Also, I have to say I am loving these random discussion posts. As the various ones of us are stuck in house arrest (although actually I am free to do anything I want except go to my office, both legally and common sensically), it’s nice that we all kind bond with totally ludicrous discussion topics.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! This comes to you from home, where I am stuck indefinitely, but I have a plan and I think I can make this work out!
Continue readingWell, my Bad Girls posts have so far gotten very little traffic. Let’s see if I can sprinkle some sex on top and get some eyeballs turning my way!
Continue readingOkay, a post where I am NOT including Sid Malhotra. Or anyone like him. No youthful regular featured folks here! Let your freak flag fly.
Continue readingI’m working from home because….no reason actually? I’ll explain in greater detail below if you are curious, just heads up my life has changed and I am going to be grumpy about it and that grumpiness is going to affect allllllllllllllll my posts.
Continue readingWhat a ridiculous fun movie! Once you start watching it double time which really REALLY feels like regular time, like the funky old-fashioned filming put it at the wrong speed.
Continue readingAnd she sent photos! I am assuming the entire DCIB community has opinions. Also, Filmikudhi, if the puppy is currently nameless, we can help with that.
Continue readingI already did “not very famous”, but this is something slightly different. These people may or may not be famous, and they have no talent, but we like them anyway. Why???
Continue readingWoot, superficial history post! The best kind of history post, why bother digging into complexities when I can just make broad generalizations and simple categories?
Continue readingHappy Monday! Big news, I am trying to go caffeine free. After my New York weekend I kind of overdosed and got all weird and jittery. So no more! I will just be mildly sleepy all the time instead.
Continue readingI wrote this as part of my series on Salman Khan, but I’m gonna rewrite and refocus it a bit to give Helen the spotlight she deserves.
Continue readingI love Fearless Nadia. She is my dream Halloween costume. And I could pull it off too! We look the same, same kind of build and blonde hair and blue eyes. I just have to put on a sari and carry a whip. But then everyone would think I am culturally appropriating and give me a hard time so I can’t. The world is hard.
Continue readingSuch an interesting heroine in this movie! She is “bad”, but she doesn’t want to be. She wishes she was less outspoken, less strange, and could find someone who loves her.
Continue readingStill watching Hart of Dixie which does really good love triangles, and it has inspired me to try and see what I can come up with as potential Indian film triangles. Not easy ones where it’s a choice between love and duty, but ones where there are two viable “love” options.
Continue readingI did the “mean” version of this a couple of days ago and it was wildly successful, let’s see if the “nice” version can be equally popular.
Continue readingWell, this was a perfectly pleasant little love story! Nothing revolutionary, but sometimes you don’t need revolutionary. And Rajkumar Rao finally gets his big dance number!
Continue readingWhat a fun Saturday I am having! Library! WOO! Seems like the perfect “get out of the house but not tie myself down to a schedule” kind of activity, right?
Continue readingI so enjoyed the TV show recommendations post, I want to do the same for books! Within similar “let’s be real about the people who visit DCIB and their interests” kind of restrictions.
Continue readingThis is a silly silly movie. If you feel the need for total escapism and fantasy and just wacky weird insanity, this movie is here for you. Also, it isn’t very good. Oh, and I know I am all late and backed up on my reviews, I’m gonna catch up this weekend. It’s just been a lazy week.
Continue readingDo you need a little smile this Friday morning? A little burst of cuteness to make you happy? I have something for you!
Continue readingLet us acknowledge our petty dislikes! Who is someone you just can’t make yourself like? To the point of avoiding films you might otherwise enjoy?
Continue readingPart 3! I am so glad I decided to do this in multiple parts. I probably could have squeezed it all into one, but Rekha has really lived many lives, it is only fair to give her many posts. Oh, and again, almost all this information comes from This Book. Buy it if you like these posts and want to learn more! (post 1 here and post 2 here)
Continue readingThis is such a fun one to write! Mostly because it is so fake. Rekha is brilliant at manipulating the press and crafting an image for herself, so her whole life story (as presented to the public) sounds like something out of a bad melodrama. Oh, and almost all of this is based on This Book, which is a super fun read and if you like this post, you should go buy it and read it.
