This was a lowkey adopt-a-versary this year, just the two of us, he got an extra long walk and a cookie from my parents and a present that I ordered last minute because I almost forgot. But the People of DCIB requested an Albie photo post in honor of his Special Day, so here you are!

Shahrukh Spring Brackets: Villains! Round 2!
Oh boy! Villains! Far fewer than the hero rounds, although not as much fewer as you would think. He played a villain a lot! And there is one tie, again.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Albie’s Adopt-A-Versary!!!
Happy Monday! And happy Adopt-A-Versary to Albie Dog! I’ve had him 3 years now, which is why he is so calm and wise and mature (not really).
Continue readingFame Game Alternative Ending Post/What We Want for Season 2!
Well that ending wasn’t….great. But good news! I think we can fix it if we just think it through a little bit.
Continue readingFame Game Last 2 Episodes! Spoilers and Whole Series Discussion
Well this was FASCINATING!!!! And I am sure I am going to continue to have thoughts over the next few days, especially as I discuss it with you.
Continue readingFame Game Episodes 5 and 6: All About the Kids, and then All About the Mothers
Okay, two episodes left and I still have NO idea what the ending will be! That is a sign of a very well constructed series.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club reminder! Next Sunday, Just Jennifer, WWII Children’s Book/Young Romance!
This is just a reminder, next Sunday, we are discussing an obscure children’s book that I personally quite like and also think you all would find it a fun light quick read. We all have graduate degrees (mostly)! We should be able to read a 100 page children’s book!
Continue readingFame Game Episodes 3 and 4: Themes! Prostitution and Giving to Others
Huh, this series is surprising me with how good it is. I thought it was just gonna be a fluffy thriller with Madhuri at the middle, but it’s really digging deep on some interesting things. Also, seriously, even if you don’t watch the whole series, go 33 minutes into episode 4 and watch that scene. It’s no spoilers, it’s fine out of context, and it is just beautiful.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring Heroes Round 3: Oh Boy! Down to Seven!!!
It’s all moving so fast! Just a few days ago the list was so long no one could manage it. And now I expect some HEATED discussion. Also, there were 2 ties, so it’s 7 brackets now.
Continue readingThe Fame Game on Netflix Episode 1 and 2: Characters Introduced, Setting Established
Oh goodie! Let’s all watch together and discuss in episode pairs! It’s legitimately good too. Not Made in Heaven good, but closer to it than most other things. Plus, tons of in jokes for industry obsessed folks like on DCIB.
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: 7:30am, Rajkumar! However and Wherever you can find it!
Happy Saturday! February is hitting me like a ton of bricks this week, so I am VERY happy to have a nice fun silly movie to watch on Saturday morning. Either through youtube (if you use a VPN, or live in Europe), or einthusan for the rest of us.
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: TRAGEDY! Rajkumar is Gone From YouTube! Last Minute Substitute of Rajkumar on Einthusan
I am just so so so so SO excited to share this film with all of you! Naseeruddin Shah plays twins, one evil and one stupid. And there’s enchanted anklets. And, my favorite part, a random goose! I don’t care that the whole reason I was scheduling it this week was that it is on youtube and now it isn’t, I STILL WANT TO SEE IT! We will survive with einthusan.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring VILLAIN Brackets! Round 1!!!
When I was going through his filmography, I realized there are a fair number of SRK VILLAIN characters too!!!! And we should rank them as well. Use whatever you want to judge them, best people, worst people, most entertaining, best acted, whatever.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring Round 2: Best Heroes!!! Down to Only 11 Brackets! VOTE!
Well, I am very disappointed in you all. I put up 22 Brackets to vote in, and only 5 people voted. Let’s see if we can do BETTER now that we are down to only 11. Or do you want Shahrukh to think you don’t care?????
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to This Week?
Happy Wednesday! I may or may not have a friends movie night tonight, still waiting on confirmations. But if I DO, I am considering showing them all Love Love Love. Because it is just that good/bad!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Last Love Themed Week! And I am PUMPED About the New Shemaroo Weird Old Movies on Youtube!!!
This is wonderful! Shemaroo is releasing so many movies all at once on their youtube channel! We have a great smorgasbord of funky old Masala.
Continue readingNew SRK Ad! For Thums Up!
I am just DELIGHTED by this! The ad itself of course, but also that after being the face of Pepsi and all those other international brands, he is selling Thums Up. It’s a great Brand SRK decision to be the face of India.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring Bracket! First Round, Best Hero!
It’s the last week of February! I feel like spring will never come! So I am bringing in some sunshine and doing a quick bracket of Shahrukh contests! I think it will pleasantly distract us all, right?
Continue readingInstagram Round-Up: Farhan Wedding, Hrithik Beard, and Random Other Thing That Makes Me Laugh
Farhan got married! And NONE OF YOU TOLD ME!!! I thought we understood each other, I thought we had a dynamic of you telling me things and then me researching and writing posts. I can’t be out there trying to learn stuff on my own! Social Media is TERRIFYING!
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on the Day Before 2-2-2-2-2 Day?
Happy Monday! Isn’t this exciting, one of my co-workers alerted us by putting it on the work calendar, tomorrow is 2-2-2-2-2 day!!!
Continue readingSilly Sunday/Thinky Post: I Just Saw the Western Movie Brooklyn! Really Interesting Take on Immigration, and Romantic!
I watched this for a film class and it was on the one hand a romance, and on the other hand an odd interesting way of telling an immigration story that was almost entirely internal and emotional.
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: Love Love Love! Aamir and Juhi, and Love. 8am Chicago Time!
Happy Saturday!!! Time to watch a bad 90s movie while we all have coffee and wake up!
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Just Jennifer, 1940s America Family Romance, Discussion March 6th!
This is a bit of an off one, and I will be curious how many of you bother to read it. It’s short and easy, should only take you maybe 3 hours. You probably can’t get it from your library, but you can buy it on kindle or order it. And it’s such an interesting oddity I just want to share it with others.
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: Love Love Love! 8am Chicago Time Saturday! Because It Just Popped Up on YouTube!
Thank you Shemaree, you are the most wonderful of them ALL. You post movies, legally, for free, with subs, on youtube. I Love Love Love You!
Continue readingGood Morning!!! What Are the Best Good Morning Songs?
I am one of those disgusting people who always wakes up bouncing with energy and happiness. Have been my whole life. Used to drive my parents crazy. Part of this of course is that I wake up singing. “Morning Has Broken” is good, so is “Oh What a Beautiful Morning!” And then there are the Indian options. Let’s see how many we can think of so I can vary my delightful morning seranades!
