I don’t want you to spoil yourself on this movie, because there’s a whole lot of twists and things that aren’t in the trailer. But I DO want you to spoil yourself on this movie because there’s some bits where it feels like our heroines are doing the wrong thing, and I want you to know that it’s okay.
Continue readingSuch a fun movie! I took Friday off this week (not for the movie, for spring cleaning) and I went to a midday show. The perfect spring film to watch on a sunny afternoon.
Continue readingScheduling is DIFFICULT! I try not to do it around one person, but FilmiKudhi has been begging for Kuch Naa Kaho foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeer, I can’t do it the one weekend she can’t make it. On the other hand, Crew is releasing this weekend! Will most people be able to watch it in time for a Zoom call? Or should we wait until next week?
Continue readingI think only FilmiKudhi and I will be super excited about this, but we will be VERY excited! Kuch Naa Kaho is a minor but enjoyable rom-com from the 2000s which has not been available anywhere but einthusan for ages. And now it’s for rent! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We can do a WatchAlong!!!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And Happy Short Work Week to ME! I’m taking Friday off because of my annual Easter tradition of flipping my house over to summer. And yes, it may snow next week, but I don’t care, I am putting all my sweaters in the cedar chest and getting out the sundresses! I will FORCE summer to come! And I have a whole three days to clean and re-organize and make it happen.
Continue readingOh boy, another thinky post! I really like thinky posts, and I like hearing what you all think about the thinky posts.
Continue readingI’m gonna try to make notes while we have our Zoom call, and we’ll be talking about the same questions so this whole thing should feel like one big conversation, Zoom and here.
Continue readingMy first thought when I got this email from Pottery Barn was “really? Deepika?” And then I clicked the link and went “oh yeah, this is very Deepika”. She’s very calm, right? Very beige (in a good way!)
Continue readingI am about halfway through the movie and it is SO FUN. If you haven’t watched it yet, do so, I guarantee you will enjoy it. Oh, and also try to join our discussion if possible, I guarantee you will enjoy that too!
Continue readingI’m being selfish and picking the time that works best for me! Hopefully it also works for some of you.
Continue readingLet’s do another one! This is fun! And Manoranjan is ALSO very very fun. And on Netflix! Woo!
Continue readingThis is a small thought, hardly even worth a post, but it keeps niggling into my brain and not letting go. So I’m posting about it anyway!
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy Cleaners Day! I’ve had these lovely ladies in once a month for over a year now and I have almost mastered not feeling like a bad person. I have the money, there’s nothing morally superior about doing your own cleaning (no matter what my crazy Germanic ghost ancestor ladies are screaming at me), and it makes SUCH a difference to know that at least once a month my floors will be scrubbed, stove top cleaned, etc. etc.
Continue readingHey, it’s international women’s day! And this is a great film to discuss in celebration. Easily passes the Bechdel test, plus I think the female main characters actually outnumber the male? Definitely their dialogue outnumbers.
Continue readingWoot! We found a time and day! 6pm Friday Chicago time. Right day for Shelomit, early enough for Naina, late enough for Filmikudhi. And Junglee, which I have sort of found with subs!
Continue readingApologies, I mixed up my dates and originally announced for March 8 which is a Friday. So scratch that, I meant March 9 which is a Saturday! Is anyone still interested? And is evening Chicago time still a good time? Or is morning/afternoon/some other time better?
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! It’s a week and one day since I last posted! I went on vacation and did NOTHING very aggressively. I went to a different coffee shop every morning and read my book for over an hour, then wandered around until I found a place to eat lunch, then wandered some more until I found a place to sit and finish my book, then went back to my hotel room to start a new book. 4 books in 4 days! The perfect break. Oh, and also a pedicure, a massage, acupuncture, and a Psychic reading, just for fun. And I bought hair dye and used the hotel shower to re-dye my hair. So you can see, I was very very busy with no time for blogging.
