Continue readingGinny Weds Sunny Review (SPOILERS): Why Does Vikrant Massay Have to Turn Into a Big Old Jerk?
I watched it! Out of curiosity after I got super mixed reports from y’all. If you like light silly farcical rom-coms made on the cheap with up and down quality, then you will enjoy this movie, whether or not you Spoil yourself here. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. And if you don’t like them (especially with a flawed hero character), then you can still spoil yourself!

This was fun, I watched it with my friend movie group, and we had quite a bit to snark to share.

My Mom made me watch Late Night last night, which I have been avoiding not because I thought it looked bad, but because I thought it looked so good I would be stressed. And I was! Stressed, that is. But also really intrigued by what Mindy is arguing about woman in the workforce.

Really, First Review. I did a combined thing of Don 1 and Don 2 and a little bit Don Original, but I never did a review specifically of the Don 1 film.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong! Friday or Saturday? And Baghban or War?
The world is a sea of possibilities! Nothing is certain, even the Friday WatchAlong day! Help me gain structure in my life and plan for the future.

Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Hema Malini’s Birthday Week?
Happy Monday! I feel vaguely draggy and not awake, because the stupid sun wasn’t up at 6:30am when I woke up. Stupid sun.
Continue readingThinky Post: How Irritating is It When Men Write Women as Men?
I’ve been having a lazy weekend, scrolling through streaming options, and there’s a pattern I keep noticing in the things I start and then stop. At the same time, I watched Bang Bang and Duplicate, and there was a pattern with those that I liked and kept me going. Anyway, made me think about female characters and stuff.

Continue readingHappy Birthday Amitabh!!!
It’s Amitabh’s birthday, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! The greatest day of the year! Well, not really, but it’s up there.
Continue readingHappy Mental Health Day! Wanna Hear My Mental Health Journey?
I just saw that it is world mental health day, and coincidentally also the day after I took my first mental health drug! So I thought I would briefly share my own journey, just to do my little bit wedging open the conversational door.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Have a Nice Lazy Day
Happy Saturday! Started the day by doing a Bang Bang watchalong, and now I can read my book, eat snacks, be lazy and do nothing. So happy! WEEKENDS!

Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Swades! The Full Big Long Review!
I wrote this a while back, it’s deep and long and all about home and community and things. But very little about the romance, which is why I wrote that other review just now just about that.
Continue readingA Shahrukh Birthday Month Re-Review!!! SWADES!!!!
I hit Swades in my scheduled repostings, and I thought it might be fun to write a re-review to go up the same day as the regular review.
