I am SO HAPPY! I have been looking forward to watching this movie with y’all since the WatchAlongs started, and doing it early on a Saturday morning makes it feel extra special.
You can watch it on youtube, on einthusan, on your DVD, just not on any legitimate streaming sources. At 7:30am I will post a “PLAY!” comment down below and then we can just keep commenting along the whole time. And yes, you are allowed to comment simply “this makes me so happy!”

Oh oh! I found an article about the Dadi actress! She is everything I wanted her to be. Worked for the Railways and did theater in her spare time, even had some roles on TV serials. But then her husband died and she had to focus on raising her daughters. In her 70s, she got her first movie part as a Grandma and then her career just took off. Also, everyone is always very nice on sets, she suffers from arthritis of the foot so they are always very nic eand write in scenes with her characters sitting down.

My sister and I have a headcanon that Vickie got updates via text for part of the ‘date’ — Your Date Has Arrived! Your Date Has Ordered Wine! Your Date Has Ordered 2 Meals! — and it won’t let him text back, so he’s yelling at his phone “No, don’t order wine! No, don’t order two meals!” while getting more and more late.
