Yes, it is time for me to do another Hanukkah post! Something with 8, oil, and a little bit of Jewishness….ABS! Including ARK! Yes, this is a perfectly respectful and appropriate post for the holiday. At least, I am pretty sure the DCIB Hanukkah celebrants won’t complain (just as the DCIB Easter celebrants never mind my annual “hot Jesus” post).
Continue readingDoggies!!!!! I asked, and you shared. Oh, and also cats.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! The Jewish abs of Aditya Roy Kapoor! Truly the best celebration possible of both Christmas and Hanukkah. Because Jesus also had Jewish abs.
Continue readingThis is something/someone I find really interesting to think about this time of year and I wanted to share him with you in case you weren’t aware of how much this one person has affected the way we see Christmas. I wasn’t myself until I read an article about Iron Man 3 in context of Shane Black’s history of Christmas films. Identifying Shane Black as a Christmas author is NOT my original idea at all, don’t give me credit for it!!!! But my interpretation of why he writes Christmas movies is my own.
Continue readingTwo American Spanish songs! For the children stuck in Spanish class in December who need something quick and fun they can sing.
Continue readingHappy Wenesday! Sorry, totally forgot about this post. Christmas brain!
Continue readingI so enjoyed (and continue to enjoy as more comments come in) our post about friendships and what lasted and what didn’t. I want to do kind of a partner post about another sort of childhood relationship that I have found has lasted into adulthood much more strongly, that “my Mom’s best friend” relationship. Or, in Indian English, your Aunties.
Continue readingLast night I had a funny look on my face and my Mom asked me what I was thinking, and I said “I was just thinking how very very happy I am to be me, and not other people today”. It’s such a wonderful feeling! I want to share it with y’all.
Continue readingYou decide! You have that power! Friday afternoon or Saturday morning? Christmas movie or ARK’s abs movie? Or of course, Golem Horror Movie.
Continue readingDog photos! Somehow blog-drift has brought us to a point where this is a blog primarily about Indian film, and also dogs. If you email me a photo of your dog (dontcallitbollywood at gmail dot com), I will put it in a post! And then we can all be happy. You can also send me cat photos and then many of us will be happy.
Continue readingMy itunes shuffled pulled up two fun modern easy happy songs in a row! And just to show how Young and Modern I am, here they are for you to pick from.
Continue readingHonestly, I’m curious! Angie and I were just talking about the film “June” where our heroine stays close to her group of school friends into adulthood, which was not our experience. I’m interested in learning about other people, are you like me and Angie, or are you like a movie?
Continue readingYes! Let us celebrate the miracle that is the super hot and talented young Jewish actor’s shirtlessness! And also, some surprisingly great songs. It’s almost like there are a large number of Jewish people working in the American entertainment industry….
Continue readingHappy videos! Of all shapes and sizes! Doesn’t have to be Indian film related, just anything that has made you happy lately. My Dad just sent me a great one.
Continue readingOh yeah! Angela Lansbury versus Dolly Parton! That’s the kind of battle of the champions we need.
Continue readingRemember the golden days when Shahrukh’s twitter was just his stream of consciousness thoughts flowing out? I feel like people who missed that era, missed a whole part of him. When his fans say “he’s so smart, he’s so quick, he’s so original”, that’s what we are talking about. Unfiltered, unprocessed, pure SRK. You just can’t see it in the interviews or any other way. Anyway, now it is very filtered and very processed, but at least he is tweeting again.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am not ready to go to work. I finished all my Christmas stuff over the weekend and I feel like that should earn me a day off. Right? Work is dumb!
Continue readingYes, it’s an Albie Dog post! For all his many fans. And the rest of you can just ignore it if you want.
Continue readingChristmas Movies! YAAAAAAAY! I watch them, I sew, I wrap, I cook, I clean, my December goes by. They are not really made to be watched closely, I think, they are made to be thrown on the TV to stop the kids from screaming, or else to play in the background for company as you complete a thousand and one tasks.
Continue readingYaaaaay, a new winner! Every year I get so excited each week to see who is going to win this time. It really should not be that exciting for me, and yet it is. This week really was kind of exciting, thanks to everyone having technical difficulties and Angie making a special effort, she ended up coming out on top in the watchalong comments!
Continue readingI feel like I am underselling this. Forget the “my parents” part. Think instead of a massive choral concert by world class group that mixes classical and gospel, introduced by the Mayor of Chicago and her wife. Anyway, it’s good! If you want a pleasant concert experience in your own home.
Continue readingThis isn’t really Indian film related, except that it is a universal question including within Indian society. Maybe even more within Indian society because the difference between the top and bottom is so extreme?
Continue readingYou know how some country western songs just make you sob about the lost job/lost wife/lost dog/whatever? And how some Christmas songs have this kind of nostalgic painful pang? What if we combined that power!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! And 13 days before Christmas! And I am spending the day wrapping and mailing my final gifts, because I have finished all my Christmas things almost two weeks early. Which is a day sooner than last year. Next year, a full two weeks early! Give me another few years, I’ll be done with Christmas before Thanksgiving!
Continue readingSo excited about this movie! It is so dumb! We will have so much fun! Oh, and also, London at Christmas time!
