Okay, weekend watchalong! Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (American 3 day weekend, woot). And I don’t have to make any decisions, because it is Shelomit’s late birthday celebration weekend. Shelomit! You pick!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! My brain suddenly announced to my head “it’s FALL!” I am resisting the urge to put all my summer clothes in storage and take down my a/cs since Chicago is supposed to have hot weather for at least one more week.
Continue readingThis is gonna be a pretty short review, not a lot to talk about Deeply. But I know a lot of us have already watched the movie and I wanted a place for us to chat without ruining things for the others.
Continue readingWhat a nice movie! “Nice” as in if this movie were a person and you met that person at a party, you would say “what a nice person”. It’s just good hearted and kind and a little funny and eager to make friends.
Continue readingHappy Monday! It is overcast and rainy here, thank goodness we did all the “sunshine needed” lake chores yesterday. And now I just have to sit on the porch doing work-work for 9 hours.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I’m up at the lake house with my parents, watching my father obsess over if/when the weather is going to be nice enough for us to take the sailboat out for the year. Right now, it is pouring rain, so NO.
Continue readingThis is not reasonable, but every year I think of September 1 as the start of fall. It isn’t though! It’s just a continuation of summer! The calendar has no control over the seasons! And yet, I am ready for fall.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! I missed Wednesday Watching yesterday because I was so distracted by hating Ranbir, so I’m putting it up a day late.
Continue readingI was talking with my friend yesterday about how hating Ranbir makes us all so happy, and it made me think that I should repost something to sort of give background on how myself and our small community has for a while been seeing him as a little toxic.
Continue readingI listened to the most FASCINATING podcast, which is directly related to our blog topics which makes it even better. It’s about scam phone calls coming out of Bombay, hitting America targeting NRIs, and the money being processed by non-English speaking desperate recent NRIs driving around the American midwest. We know these people! Like, on film and also in real life!
Continue readingHappy Monday! The Rahman concert on Saturday was so so good, and also so so tiring so I am still recovering. Shouting along to “Chaiyya Chaiyya” with a thousand other people really takes it out of you, you know?
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELOMIT! I’m out of town this weekend, so I can’t do a watchalong in your honor, but that’s just a raincheck! You get to pick for the next watchalong.
Continue readingOkay, Spoiler time!!! I already put up the No Spoilers review if you just want a quick idea of what the film is like to decide if it is for you. Now, SPOILERS!
Continue readingI finally watched it! And I am NOT going to tell y’all to watch it. Just because it deals with spousal abuse for large parts of the film and it’s frankly hard to watch. But if that doesn’t bother you (or if you are okay fastforwarding), it also has a kick of two central performances.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! This week is going very fast for me, partly because we are shortstaffed at work (stupid summer vacations), and partly because I am working on the sewing project every free moment. Look, it’s Wednesday already!
Continue readingFilmiLibrarian has been watching movies like a FIEND, much more than I have lately. And they are all rom-coms, which made me want to revisit my posts about rom-coms.
Continue readingHappy Monday! My head feels so light! And I have so much more time because washing/brushing/braining is no longer a requirement!
Continue readingI had that horrible 2 weeks when I was just doing frazzled “gah!” posts with updates, and then I realized I’ve sort of left you all hanging. And anyway, who doesn’t like baby stories?
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I am progressing along with my massive difficult sewing project that I forgot I promised to have done by September 1, so I have earned a nice break watching Sridevi.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! My friend reminded me I promised to finish an enormous sewing project for her by September 1 when she needs it for an event, and I am going up to the lake house the next two weekends, so AAAA! So much sewing! Anyway, it’s a fun challenge.
Continue readingHappy Sridevi’s birthday! Thank goodness, I have managed to get enough people to do a Sridevi watchalong, would have been very sad if we couldn’t.
Continue readingHappy Friday! Yesterday FilmiKudhi suggested a Friday afternoon watchalong, but it’s way too last minute now. And also, I want to run some errands this afternoon instead.
Continue readingWooo, let’s do another watchalong! And it’s Sridevi Weekend, so we gotta do one of her films. Call me crazy, but I’m feeling SNAKE-Y!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And happy 2 days after Courtney’s birthday! Hopefully it was cool and pleasant, instead of hot and stressful.
Continue readingOh Olivia Newton-John. I heard she died and the first thing I wanted to know was “What did Travolta say?” It’s rare that an onscreen pairing in American film is so strong that even when the real person dies, your first thought is of their onscreen partner. So let’s go back and look at that movie which had such an impact and think about why that impact happened.
