I don’t even know what film would be appropriate! He hasn’t gone Full Masala very often, and Jawan is definitely Full Masala. I suppose other Army films? Which means Veer-Zaara (I hate it) or Jab Tak Hain Jaan (I hate it) or Main Hoon Na (I love it). Or other Young Lady Mentor films, so Chak De India (Love it) or Dear Zindagi (love it).

Jawan Trailer! I Don’t Understand, He is His Own Father???
I am very confused by this whole thing. Which is the point, I am confused yet intrigued and curious and eager to watch the film and figure it out. Good job Trailer!

Happy Monday! I had a lovely 6 day visit from my friend and, as you no doubt noticed, basically stopped blogging during that time in order to host/socialize. But now I am BACK!
Continue readingWednesday Watching: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to as I Am Under a Heat Dome?
Happy Wednesday! Very happy Wednesday for me, because I have a friend visiting! She flew all the way just to see me, and I took days off work, and now there is a “heat dome” over Chicago so we are FORCED to stay inside and watch movies. Oh no, I hate doing that (sarcasm).
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Which of These Three Simple Pleasures is Best? And Which of These Three SRK Pleasures?
Let’s chat! I ran around doing a million things yesterday and at the end of the day I came home all tired out and debating which was most exciting/tempting of these three options.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong! Also, My New Hair!
I’ve got a packed weekend, BUT I would be able to squeeze in Red White and Royal Blue. Anyone up for a watchalong of a nice 3 hr American rom-com?

Happy Wednesday! And Happy Saif Day! And happy day that it is sunny and lovely outside my window!
Continue readingNew Jawan Song! Love Song!
Woot, new Jawan song! And a new SRK love song, which is more precious than gold. Do we like it? Is it too edited? Are we missing something?
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Bigil! 7am Chicago time! Unless No One Shows Up By 7:15 and Then Canceled!
Happy Sunday!!! Really hoping everyone is done with their stupid vacations and stupid family time and stupid other things that are “more important” than an internet watchalong with people you haven’t met in person. But if you are still wasting your life on “real world human interactions” or whatever, that’s cool too! That’s what the 15 minute rule is for.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 7am Chicago Time! BIGIL!!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, watchalong! Although I still don’t quite believe it will happen, I think I’ll do the “if no one is there in the first 15, I’m shutting it down” thing.
Continue readingDiscussion Post Inspired by Red White and Royal Blue: Which Love Taboo is MOST Taboo in India?
Okay, I watched the trailer, it’s delightful, now I want to see it too. But I am holding out until I can watch it with a friend because it looks SO squeey and group watching friendly, it would be wasted watching it alone.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Bigil! I’m Just Gonna Keep Suggesting It Until It Happens!
This is the week! I’ve got a good feeling about it! Surely you want to see naked Jackie Shroff and a female soccer team take on southern superstar Vijay in a triple role? Also, same director as Jawan so we have to watch it before Jawan?
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the Day Before Made in Heaven 2 Releases?
Happy Wednesday! It’s my short day at work, and my “pick-up veggies” day, two good things! Which almost (but not quite) makes up for my seeing a pumpkin patch on my walk that was WAY better than my pumpkin patch and in the same size yard.

Well, this was a journey from joy to disappointment!!! At least for me. But maybe not you?

Happy Monday!!! And Happy Birthday Courtney!!!! I hope you will finally get to see Rocky Aur Rani, I forgot to tell you, there’s a Varun cameo! It’s tiny, but it’s there.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic on Saturday: Kajol’s Birthday! Movies Kajol Could/Should Be Making, Remake of Christmas in Conneticut and The Major and The Minor/Half-Ticket
Happy Kajol’s Birthday! I know not everyone loves her here, but MOST of us do. And she has a very strong camera charisma which lets her get away with really interesting roles most actresses couldn’t pull off. Also, when she turns it on, she can really really act (My Name is Khan, she kills). Most of all, she can be FUNNY. I’m pretty sure I’ve already “remade” these two films, but I have new concepts this time!

Even if YOU don’t want to watch it to prepare, I want to watch it to prepare! Join me! On Saturday or Sunday!

Happy Wednesday!!!! Today is CSA day, AND the vegetables I planted in my very own yard have just started ripening. It’s too many vegetables. One human cannot handle them all.
