Happy Saturday! Fair warning, I got like 6 hours of sleep last night, so I’m gonna be a bit punchy. Also, I may be watching this movie without subs. It’s gonna be a FUN watchalong!
Bang Bang! It’s on Hulu, and also einthusan, and also it’s EXCELLENT. Super fun, super dumb, super happy.
At 7:30am Chicago time I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and we will all follow along from there!

I did internet dating in 2003! After going on some dates and making small talk with so many dudes I decided I needed to hang out with people I knew I liked. So I started hanging out more with my husband who had been a friend for years.
LikeLike
I tried online dating for a bit also and I HATED it. Also, apparently my husband was on the same dating site but we never matched because he is silly and described his height as 5’8 which he is clearly not! He is 5’11. I told him that being Indian when guys describe their height as 5’7 or 5’8, I automatically assume it is 2-3 inches shorter.

It barely makes sense even if you do remember. England and India are about to sign an extradiction treaty. Danny wants the Kohinoor stolen to stall the treaty talks.

But, that doesn’t make sense? Also, Danny isn’t in prison any more so what does he care about extradition?

Unclear. Something about how the treaty is going to hurt their other businesses. That’s what Javed Jaffrey says to Danny in the plane. Like I said, it makes no sense even if you did remember the plot.
