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.
Bigil! It’s on Prime, it’s almost 3 hours long (so have snacks and coffee), and I am very excited to make y’all watch it so we can talk about Atlee and what his Jawan version of Shahrukh might be.
In a few minutes at 7am Chicago time I will put up an “And PLAY!” comment and we will all comment along from there! Yaaaaay!

I’m thinking maybe it is a double bluff? At the last minute he will put her in anyway because No One is Stronger Than a Mother.

Oh interesting! Manipur, the Evil Team, is from the far Northwest near Nepal. I wonder if that is a nod to Jackie? His mother is from Kazakhstan which is why he has a Northwestern look, although he isn’t actually connected to the Northwest regions. Do they think we will be watching this going “wait, is Jackie’s character Northwestern?” and therefore accept the Manipur team as his home team?

Oh man, him yelling at the girls is lame. But then I guess directors are sometimes mean to their child actors to make them cry (Karan Johar KKHH), so it shouldn’t bother me?

I am not fully on board with this movie’s brand of “feminism”.

Yeah, I’m curious how Atlee will mix with SRK. I think SRK has a much softer (while still slightly paternalistic) take on feminism.

Not great!!!! Although almost makes sense in terms of teaching them aggression and anger in sports. But the “Sattar Minute” speech in Chak De is way better.

So long as it is soccer-soccer-soccer again, I jumped over to Shahrukh’s Meer Foundation insta. They have partnered with a sustainable micro economic group, so their clients get set up to sell sustainable sanitary products door to door after finishing their medical treatment and rehab. They also have a monthly acid attack report counter, 12 in May, only 2 in June (with a disclaimer that most attacks go unreported)

See, a man has to be “well-established” before he can think about marriage, while I woman has to be “of marriagible age”. So, 35 marrying 20 seems about right.

Would there ever be a movie coming out of India where a woman would be in the coaches role, I doubt I would say action films with a woman in the role, would that be a correct assessment?

Thank you for the watch a long Margaret! They forgot to add in a wedding for Angel and Michael. The film seems unfinished, except it was very long to be unfinished. I think I am going to go back to sleep now.

The only other thought I would add is, if you want to know more about soccer and a great story along with it, I highly recommend watching Ted Lasso. I learned a lot from that movie, but not everything. Certainly the only complaint, my wife made a good argument about this, is the women’s storylines seem to be based more on relationship than other things, but the acting, and especially the comedy and heartfelt sentiments are fantastic.
