I’m having my post-holiday meetup with Mark, the podcast producer, later this week. So I want really good specific feedback for him! I looked over your lovely comments on my previous post, and I’m filtered them down to specific points, and now I need MORE feedback.
Continue readingI don’t think that title is a spoiler for people who get it without warning? Unless you happen to know what my least favorite SRK Romance plots are, and even then it’s only a partial spoiler.
Continue readingToo me 9 whole days, the longest I have taken to see an SRK movie in theaters since Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, but I finally did it! And in the end, it was more Hirani than it was SRK.
Continue readingI’m thinking about moving it to the afternoon this year. Partly because I want to sleep in, partly because I want to make it convenient for more people!
Continue readingHappy Saturday!!!! I spent Wednesday sleeping and recovering, Thursday and Friday working flat out to make up all the work I missed, and now today, FINALLY, I get to see Dunki!!!!!
Continue readingI got to spend 10 whole days with Nephew A and Nephew B! Who are perfectly perfect for the ages they are. I learned about cars and trucks and incredibly boring baby games (what is with the “I hand you a thing and you hand it back to me” game? Just keep the thing Baby! Just keep it! Your things are so gross and sticky and I don’t want to take them!). And now I am totally exhausted.
Continue readingI am at my sister’s waiting for the kiddos to wake up and the coffee to be ready. It is my perfect Christmas so far!
Continue reading3rd week of non-American dominance! And I suspect the pattern will continue, if only because there aren’t that many America-based commentators left who haven’t won. What a lovely international community DCIB is!
Continue readingSort of last minute, like about 4 weeks ago, things changed around so I got to come out to my sister’s for 10 days, from now until Christmas! Expect uneven posting and not much thought from now until the 27th!
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy One Week to Christmas!!!! I am all settled in at my sister’s with a baby who hates me and a 4 year old who likes to teach me things about how cars work.
Continue readingLong long time readers know that years ago Dina and I tried doing a podcast, that was just recording on my phone as we drove home from movies. We had fun, but it didn’t really go anywhere, so eventually we stopped. We still talked as we drove home, just didn’t bother recording. A few months ago a new reader on the blog reached out to me and volunteered his professional expertise as a sound engineer to give podcasting another try! So here we are with a real actual professional sounding episode!
Continue readingI’ve been READING!!! Which I usually avoid, because it is very bad for me. But I’ve decided life’s too short, I’m taking a risk! And yes, I threw my shoulder violently out, and gave myself a migraine. Extreme Reading.
Continue readingWoo! Too international winners in a ROW! Thanks to moving the watchalong time this week to make it more India friendly
Continue readingI really liked this movie. No duh, of course I liked this movie, it’s a Zoya Akhtar film! I like everything she does, always. And of course, she found the PERFECT way to bring out The Archies, in India.
Continue readingThank you Naina for alerting me! Lovely thing to wake up to. And just lovely thing in general, I really really like this song video and I hope it is more of a thesis statement for the film than we have gotten before.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Time for a nice watchalong with some nice nostalgia, for those of us who grew up reading Archie comics.
Continue readingYes! I think we can make this work!!! I can go Xmas shopping that afternoon and be home in loads of time.
Continue readingIt sounds more and more like The Archies is going to be surprisingly emotional and requiring of moral support! Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy music? Raj Kapoor’s great grandson acting opposite Shahrukh’s daughter? Zoya and Reema doing that sneaky thing where you think it’s just a movie and then you realize it’s social revolution? So, who will support me as I watch???
Continue readingOooo, another Sid Anand film! With his trademark grasp of physics, midair travel, and Hrithik crows feet.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! The last two weeks, I gave up my picking rights, but now I want to go back to having a Lively Discussion in which I have veto power (the veto power is very important).
Continue readingThis was a hard week to judge! Had to exclude Naina and Filmikudhi and Genevieve, AND no watchalong! In the end, Angie took it with only 5 comments!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am feeling very cozy and sleepy today, and very glad that I made a last minute decision to skip Animal (again) and instead stay home and watch a cozy movie on the TV with my friend. Sukhee? Something 70s?
Continue readingHuh. Maybe it’s not a time change thing? But it almost made more sense when it was! I can follow like 2/3rds of the plot of this thing, but then it loses me when SRK picks up a gun.
Continue readingI just realized, I didn’t get a RSVPs for this one! So if Genevieve shows up, awesome, we watch. If no one shows up, after 15 minutes I stop. But I am pretty sure Genevieve will show up 🙂
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I just had some lovely soft-boiled eggs. And now I am waiting for my laundry to finish so I can go out and buy dog food. What a glorious Saturday!
