As I said in the No Spoilers, the worst fault of this film is that it was BORING. To the point that I may have missed plot points because it was just so DULL. Even worse, I noticed plot holes because I wasn’t distracted enough.

Fighter Review (No Spoilers): I Kept Checking the Time, Not a Good Sign
Forget the politics, the stars, the songs, all the rest of it. You may want to skip this movie just because I found myself checking the time every 15 minutes. That’s baaaaaaaaaaaad! Especially since I kept going “It’s only been 15 minutes??? That felt like an hour!”
Continue readingDCIB Book/Movie Club: Sangam! Watch it, and then Discuss it On Saturday Feb 17!
Bhansali inspired me! Sangam is SUCH a good movie, and there is so much to consider in it, I think it is a perfect one for us all to talk about.

Happy Sunday! I am maybe actually feeling healthy, but I don’t want to jinx it. Spent yesterday sleeping and reading and eating and trying to let my body kick the infection, and it MAY have worked? Still have 5 days of antibiotics left and I won’t feel really safe until I finish them all.

Happy Fighter Release Day! I am SO EXCITED! I’m also still a little sick but hoping I can power through (and I will be wearing a mask because I am a good person).
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to THE WEEK FIGHTER COMES OUT????
Happy Wednesday! I’m sick! Urgent care said maybe strep throat and gave me a prescription just to be safe (I am the reason for mega-bacterial resistant diseases, I feel SO GUILTY. But also very sick, so I’m willing to roll the dice and see if it cures me instead of waiting for tests to confirm). Important for you, I’m putting off seeing Fighter until Friday when I will hopefully be healthy again. So stay tuned! Review/discussion coming then!

It is soooooooooooooo cold in Chicago right now! So cold that the schools are closed just for the cold. So I want to huddle inside and think about SRK and warm myself from the inside out.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: Dear Zindagi! 7am Chicago Time! Woo-hoo!
Happy Saturday! I got my coffee, I let the dog out, I’m all tucked in for the morning. Who will join me in watching a lovely beachy movie? And if no one shows up by 20 minutes in, I’ll just shut down and watch by myself 🙂
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: Dear Zindagi! Tomorrow Morning! 7am Saturday Chicago Time!
Let’s do this thing!!!! Hopefully it’s not too last minute (especially for the internationals). If it is, that’s okay, I’ll give y’all 15 minutes to join and then just watch on my own.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: I Need Happy Sunshine! Who Will Watch Dear Zindagi With Me? And Saturday or Sunday Morning?
It’s supposed to snow all day Friday and part of Saturday, and then be FREEZING, so I won’t really want to go out this weekend. But I WILL want to take an imaginary trip to Goa for wise words from SRK.

Don’t panic! You didn’t miss a news story or anything, it’s just super dark and grey and sludgy in Chicago right now and I’m consequently not doing great. Thus the 6 days of blog silence.

Happy Wednesday!!! So far, this year has been pretty good for me. Nice New Years, manageable post-holiday work days, fixed Dunki which makes me happy, and scheduled Albie’s annual Vet appointment at a convenient time.
Continue readingDunki Simplified, If It Were Just a Love Story
This is mostly for my own satisfaction. I liked the love story so much, and dislike so much that surrounded it, I just want to lay out how the movie could work if it was JUST love story and no comic relief.
Continue readingHappy New Year! No Viewing Today Because We All Have Friends and Family And Things, Yaaaaaaaaaaay!
New Years Day falling on a three day weekend seems to have made it even MORE likely that everyone has plans. As do I! My plans are, to recover from my very late night last night! Well, late for me. Not actually that late.
