Woot! Happy Saturday! It’s snowy and cold and I did a massive grocery shop yesterday so I never have to go out again. Until I run out of cream. I forgot to buy cream. Anyway, let’s watch a silly movie!
I Hate Luv Storys
Made in that magical time when Imran Khan was gonna be a big rom-com hero! And Sonam Kapoor already knew exactly who she was and what she could play onscreen. And also, the soundtrack is DOPE.
At 8am Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and then we will all go along from there! Yaaaaaaaay!

Here! And so is Baby SRK and husband. They are joining us for 30-45 minutes before he goes down for his nap. As my husband says, “We are all DCIBing together.”

I remember that was what Aditya said about DDLJ, that it would be DIFFERENT. It would be different because Kajol wore a satin sari in the Mountains. And all the actors thought it was kinda just like all the other love stories.

Imran is somehow more tolerable to me than any man-child by Ranbir. Don’t mistake me, his character is a jerk, but I don’t want to punch him through a window. Could it be the acting? Could it be the likability? Could it be actual charisma and talent?

Yes, and the ultimate point of the film is that Sonam is the best in every way and should get whatever she wants. And also, shouldn’t settle for Raj just because he is “perfect”.
