Yes! An old review! But a good movie, and one that might be interesting to talk about again as Brahmastra creaks towards a release with the same star and director/writer.
Continue readingIt’s a silly happy joyous way to start 2022! Let’s watching Happy New Year! Lame Jokes, Great Songs, Stupid Hair!
Continue readingHappy Thursday! And Happy Day Before New Years Eve! Let’s share our plans in a lovely DCIB community building way.
Continue readingYaaaaay, a review of a new movie! That I really really liked!!! With people in it that I really really like, and also Akshay. Although here Akshay is reminding me why I used to like him.
Continue readingThis is such a delightful throwback! No big social statements, at least none that are underlined and highlighted, no misunderstandings or stupid complications, no real “villain” even for most of the plot. It’s just about two people being in love and figuring things out. And yes, it is sort of weird and surreal in the way it does it, but at the same time it is the most grounded romance film I have seen in a long time. Oh, and it uses Akshay perfectly, and makes me respect him as an actor for taking this small but difficult role.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am back at work and work work working and wishing I had time to write up my Atrangi Re review because I am super excited to talk about it with y’all.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! And happy Day I Am Randomly Taking Off For Christmas! We are all going to watch Atrangi Re to start my day, and then I may take a walk, or a nap, or just do a puzzle. Ahhhhhh, heaven.
Continue readingIf anyone is going to solve the issues of the Indian film box office, I feel it is going to be a bunch of hobbiest talking on a blog, don’t you? Let’s roll up our sleeves and fix this thing!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have a new computer! I no longer have random freezes and pauses, it’s a miracle.
Continue readingDid you think we weren’t watching Happy New Year on Saturday? You FOOL!!! Of course we are! I don’t care that half of DCIB doesn’t even like it! It’s FESTIVE!!!! Oh, and also an interesting new movie just at random on Tuesday, Atrangi Re.
Continue readingWell, my co-workers, who I am supposed to be supervising/bossing, have decided that I should have Tuesday off and sent me home. I feel I may not have the Fear and Power I should have over my staff. Anyway, let’s watch a movie! Since apparently I’m not allowed to work!
Continue readingOooo, a tricky one! It is a whole week without a watchalong, making this anyone’s game! Well, except that I did a Shashi 70s fashion post to help out Popka a bit.
Continue readingMy annual Christmas post! A day late! Which kind of makes sense, because this year what I am interested in is “waiting”.
Continue readingHappy Boxing Day! I had a lovely holiday and I kept thinking I would have time to sit down and write the posts that were in my head, and then I didn’t. What I really enjoyed was seeing that all of you still came around to DCIB to check in and chat without me!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Just today and tomorrow and then it is Christmas! And my parents will be here, and they can clean my bathroom, because I don’t want to! And also, put their own sheets on their bed. I’m so tired. Making the end of the fiscal year the same time as Christmas is a TERRIBLE idea.
Continue readingI have had a very stressful work day, Christmas is on a Saturday which means I get literally no days off work, and I still have to walk the dog and go pick up more presents. The only thing that is getting me through is the promise of watching A Castle For Christmas with my friend as a fun evening treat. In that state of mind, let us come up with the most ludicrous possible Christmas movie plots!
Continue readingI’m not doing a watchalong on Christmas Eve, or on Christmas Day, that’s INSANE. But early morning day after Christmas? Sounds maybe perfect! What should we watch?
Continue readingYes! It is the gimme post to give Popka a chance to win an Xmas card!!! Or, Shelomit, come to think of it. Yes, it is a competitive post! And a Solstice Cheer Post. What could be brighter than Shashi in 70s clothing?
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am so glad to be at work! With cheerful people and all I have to think about is work-work and also I get to drink lots and lots of coffee because it is THE SOLSTICE. WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH IT.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! It’s almost Christmas! And Genevieve has FINALLY won a card! Lazy Genevieve, with her “spending time with children” and stuff. And Angie has won too! We are finally hitting non-watchalong winners.
Continue readingWoot! I’m awake! Sort of! I will be making myself coffee in the middle this for sure.
Continue readingYes, it’s time for the annual Christmas Card Everyone is a Winner post!!!! Most of my regular readers, who already gave me addresses in the past, already have a card heading their way (or have recieved it). But if you aren’t on my list already, or if you want to be really REALLY sure you get a card, put your address below!
Continue readingYes, not only is it a Hollywood Christmas movie, it’s in black and white!!! With no songs! I am going all out on the soothing Christmas things!
Continue readingElin Star is doing a deep dive in the archives to figure out what is up with Ranbir. But then I realized that the DCIB archives are probably out of date, he keeps living and not-changing, and with every year that passes there are more reasons to dislike him. Or like him, I guess? But if you like him, what are you doing on DCIB? Explain yourself!
Continue readingFilmikudhi had a baby this week too, but just the one. You had 3 during the past month! I mean, not this month, but December in general. So you get to pick. And also, I’m out of thoughts.
