Thank you everyone for forcing me to watch this! It was lovely and warm and heartfelt, and completely unexpected. Nothing played out the way I thought it would and that was really nice.

DCIB Book Club: Bridgerton 2! The Viscount Who Loved Me. Get SEXY!
I’m not gonna read this one with you probably, I read it like 5 years ago. So y’all will remember it better than me! That will be fun. Anyway, all the books are very well-written romance novels. Meaning, actual 3 dimensional characters, fun dialogue, and smoking sex scenes. Not meaning, actual deep novel questions.
Continue readingFinal Shahrukh Contest! Harry Versus Mohan!
Oops, almost forgot! But then I remembered. And now you can all decide if troubled bad boy with a heart of gold is better than steady good boy with a heart of gold.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening to on Shashi Week?
What does it say that DCIB is generally more excited about Shashi Week than Aamir Week? Is it that we are height obsessed, or just decent faithful good husband and father obsessed?
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: SHASHI DAY!!!! One of the Greatest Days of the Year! Shashi Fans, Start Your Engines and Make Your Arguments!
Has to be Friday, because I am going to a concert on Friday, woot! Meaning I will need/want to sleep in on Saturday. But also, Friday is SHASHI DAY ITSELF. So we have to celebrate.
Continue readingNews Round-Up: Alia Versus Alia and SRK Mystery Announcement
Oh boy! Finally fun things to talk about!!! Two new Alia teasers, and SRK put out a tweet that doesn’t make sense.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Aamir! Let’s Talk Hair
I’m lazy, so this is a reposted post. But it’s a classic topic to which we can return again and again.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Pi Day???
Happy Monday! And Happy Pi Day!!! As is traditional, I overslept. Because Daylight Savings ended. Or started. Whichever it is.
Continue readingRadhe Shyam Review (SPOILERS): You Know the Way a 3 Year Old Tells a Story? With All the Pauses and Backtracks and Cul-De-Sacs? That’s This Movie
Here I am, trying to make this movie into some kind of logical narrative. A well-nigh impossible endeavor!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Never Been Kissed Remake, Why Is This Not Already a Thing?
So I am listening to my crime podcasts, and I just hit two in a row where an older man grooms a teenage girl, which is CREEPY and WRONG. And it made me remember the one time rom-com makers successfully made it NOT creepy, and then think “why has this not been an Indian movie?”
Continue readingRadhe Shyam Review (No Spoilers): Why Can’t Prabhas Find Pants That Fit?
I watched this whoooooooooooooooooooooooole movie, and the biggest question I came out with was, is it that Prabhas can’t find pants that fit him? Or does he not WANT pants that fit him?
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: A Cozy Evening Chat After My Very Lazy Day
Happy Saturday! I had a lazy morning, got delivery coffee, walked the dog, took a nap, then went and got a massage (including an Indian style head massage!), then picked up groceries, came home, walked the dog, did a puzzle, took another nap, walked the dog again, showered, and now here I am, all warm and cozy, and ready to finally write my Saturday post!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Tum Mere Ho! 3pm Chicago Time! For Aamir Week
This is, inarguably, the best bad movie Aamir was ever in. So I think we should appreciate it especially on this, Aamir week. Also, it was the only movie I could find that was short enough I could squeeze it in before going to see Radha Shyam.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Scheduling is Impossible! We Are Doing Tum Mere Ho Again Just Because of Length. And Snakes. 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow!
I’m trying to see Radhe Shyam on Friday, and the showtimes are NOT working with watchalong. And we can’t do Saturday because Filmikudhi has a baby and Genevieve has a concussion. So I have retreated to the shortest Aamir movie I can think of, which is also excellently entertaining.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring: Penultimate Round!
Yes! We are so close to the final battle! And once again, I had to add in a wild card to make it balance. Why are numbers so difficult?
Continue readingFriday/Saturday WatchAlong: For Aamir!!!! Mann, Lagaan, or Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na?
I know I know, everyone wants to do Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ke. Which has, irrationally, made me NOT want to pick it. This is the same reason I never sew with a thimble. Because my mother tells me to sew with a thimble. Anyway, there are other Aamir Options!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to on National Meatball Day?
Happy Wednesday! My sister just sent me an add from her local restaurant, it’s National Meatball Day! How exciting.
Continue readingNew SRK Ad! He’s Happy, I’m Happy, THE WORLD is Happy!!!!
What a nice ad!!!! It’s Shahrukh, spreading happiness and love, being happy and loved, just warms the cockles of my SRKian heart.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring Brackets: Villains Versus Heroes Round 2!
Oh dear, I almost forgot to go back to this! The Shahrukh King Character would have been left uncrowned!
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Just Jennifer and Janet Lambert, Books I Like!!!
I think I am the only one who read this? No Matter!!! Next DCIB book club is going to be Bridgerton 2, and I will refuse to re-read that one, so we will be even.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Anupam Kher’s Birthday?
Happy Monday! Or, you know, “continuing to struggle” Monday. Sorry, I’m cutting down on my screentime so I am being less blog-active than I should be. But on the other hand, Albie Dog and I walked 6 miles and found a whole new park, and I finished a puzzle!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away, as I Finally Remember to Post!
Happy Saturday! I had a lovely slow morning, then went over to the recycling place, then came home and started a sewing project, then left and went to a chiropractor, then came home and walked the dog again, and then got a message from the Upstairs People asking what we were doing for dinner, and then ordered dinner with them, and then went “whoops, I forgot to post!”
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Chippendales Film! On YouTube! Because We Have Trash Taste! Starting at 3pm Chicago Time
It’s grey and getting colder outside, but inside things are HEATING UP. We are watching the Chippendales movie!
Continue readingGangubai Review (SPOILERS): Let’s Watch Alia Swear a Lot!
Welp, time for the spoilers review! Which won’t give you a heck of a lot more than the no spoilers review, because there isn’t really much of a beginning or an end to this story, it all is just sort of a goes along without a point.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow! Chippendales Movie on Youtube! We Will Watch it Twice in a Row, as Needed!!!!
Yes! Doing it! We are watching the Chippendales original movie at 3pm today! And then, if anyone wants to, we will watch it again at 4:10! I’m excited about this. A lost moment of American history, from which we will all Learn and Grow.
