Oh boy! I’m finally going to watch Pushpa! Thanks to all of you giving me moral support so I can make it through a whole 3 hours of close attention to a film.
Pushpa! It’s on Prime! Everyone in the world has watched it! The Hindi dub is the most successful Hindi film of the year! And I still haven’t seen it because I just can’t get myself to spend 3 hours in close attention on a movie. Be proud of me! Instead of doing that, I am walking the dog for 2 hours a day, cooking, cleaning, and all those healthy things. But also, I want to watch the movie.
So I am combining scheduling! Watch Pushpa AND do a DCIB watchalong at the same time. I promise, I will pay close attention and be all thinky and stuff, and write two really good reviews afterwards (spoiler and non-spoiler). And in return, you have to help me understanding all the historical context and character notes and things.
It’s freezing in Chicago right now, I am excited about waking up early on Saturday, having a hot coffee, and cuddling on the couch watching a movie. Join me!

I am happy to join! If only to see the appeal of Allu Arjun and seeing ‘Oo Aantava’ in context. That song has been on replay so much for me. It’s the Telugu singer and Samantha that does it. It is disturbingly addictive.

All that title will ever make me think of is that joke Govinda’s character makes in Kill Dil.

I will admit the 3 hours is perhaps why I’ve only seen it once, – but come Saturday I’ll be seeing it TWICE!

Apparently the rest of my family will be at soccer so I might join if I can drag myself out of bed.

The first 10 minutes is basically a description of why the wood is smuggled out of India. Maybe it wasn’t actually 10 minutes, but it felt like 10 minutes.

I am sorry but something has come up so I have to skip this watchalong. Sorry, Margaret.
