You’ve worn me down! I am willing to consider Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ki. Yes yes, joy joy, excitement and celebration. BUT! It is also Bappi’s week, can we really forsake him utterly? Shouldn’t we at least consider Disco Dancer?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And also Sad Wednesday, because Bappi (King of Disco) is dead.
Continue readingMy big take-away: Apple TV is the Devil. I don’t have any apple devices, I paid for an ACTUAL SUBSCRIPTION so I could watch on my browser and my roku (supposedly), and I could still barely get the dang thing to work. I will assume it might work better if I spent thousands of dollars buying an apple device, but this is ridiculous! Soooooooooooooooooo buggy. Kept stopping and restarting and not responding when I clicked on things and BLECH. Oh, and now I am having a hard time getting the website to respond when I try to cancel, shocker. But the show’s great, I recommend bootlegging it if you can.
Continue readingYes! Through process of elimination, we have the Best Romance Things Ever!!! No surprise, it’s mostly Shahrukh.
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Day! You know how there’s also “Galentines Day” from Parks and Rec? When you spend Feb 13th celebrating the wonderful platonic women in your life? That doesn’t make sense to me because that is how I have ALWAYS celebrated Valentine’s day! Which also means, y’all should be checking your mailboxes 🙂
Continue readingOh, I am SO EXCITED to talk about this plot! And the clever little ways it pays homage to film classics. And also, how Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor were INSANELY beautiful.
Continue readingI feel bad using two Western references instead of desi. I suppose I could have said Vijay Anand crossed with Mahesh Bhatt. But this is a Shakun Batra movie, he’s alllllllllll about the Western style filmmaking and it really is more tied to Cassavetes and Hitchcock than anything in Hindi cinema.
Continue readingDid I already label some other book as my favorite Christie? Oh well, that was a lie, this is my REAL favorite Christie.
Continue readingWoot! Watchalong! What a wonderful way to welcome my return to blogging! Especially this nice dopey over the top movie.
Continue readingWoo hoo!!! Final round! This is for all the marbles!!! Honor! Truth! Triumph!!! And shoot, next time I do this I am going to set up a separate betting post so you can pick your expected winners.
Continue readingYes! I have decided with my own great power that we are watching 1942. You can rent it for a small amount on youtube, and I just plain like it! And I haven’t watched it in WAY too long.
Continue readingOur last semi-final round!!!! Keep pulling for your favorites to make it all the way, and maybe take the prize!
Continue readingWoot! The sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxy bracket. And again, play your strategies, vote for the weaker option if you want your favorite to win!
Continue readingYes! Second to last round! What you pick here will go up against each other in the finals. Which also means, if you want to get strategic, that you should pick the WEAKER of the second pair to give your first choice a better change in the final round.
Continue readingYes! It’s time! And another tie which solves my math problems!
Continue readingWoot! I am driving 2 hours out of the city and staying at a lodge in a state park and going on long hikes and sitting in bed reading and doing basically nothing else. Including posting. Yes, this will be very VERY hard for me, but I am going to resist posting until I am back on Sunday. Or possibly Saturday.
Continue readingWoot! I’m telling you now, out the kindness of my heart, I am saving the DDLJ-JHMS matchup for a later round. Oh, and I through in a wild card.
Continue readingWoot! Wild Card Time! I’m so excited about being able to throw something in just to make your lives harder.
Continue reading100% votes for “Tujhe Dekho” on the last round by the way! So this go round, adding a bit of a challenge to it.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I work a half day today and then head off to get the heck out of town. And along the way I may get a haircut because my hair is terrible right now (my last bang trim was not a success).
Continue readingWell, this was exciting! I’ll give you the headline first, Rahul-Anjali and Harry-Sejal TIED!!! Which I think is a remarkably accurate reflection of the emotional feelings of the DCIB community.
Continue readingOoo boy!!! Last chance for your favorites to make it to a second round! Will JHMS survive? Or KKHH?
Continue readingOkay, multiple restrictions on you this week! First, I am taking a long weekend and going to a lodge at a state park a few hours outside Chicago. I’ll be back Saturday afternoon, so Sunday morning I can ease myself back from vacation with a watchalong! Either that morning or that afternoon. And second, it’s Valentine’s month so it has to have “Love” in the title. And third, it’s Jaya week, so it has to have a Jaya song in it.
Continue readingOkay, I want you to remain calm as I break the news: JHMS didn’t make it past the first round. Even with two entries.
Continue readingExciting! We have a TIE!!! Which is also good because I was going to need a wildcard in the next round anyway, so this time I will put in this round, for a total of 6 brackets.
