Happy 4th! I celebrated by doing a purposeful long and meandering drive for curbside pick-up orders, and then returning home and immediately becoming overheated and exhausted. Which is why I didn’t even reply to comments until just now (sorry!). Anyway, for a nice American themed post, I am going to have a mini-discussion of the Indian American film genre.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I stayed up too late last night because I was all hyped up on social interaction, so today I am sleeping in.
Continue readingNeena Gupta! Such a fun person, and such a fun birthday idea I had. Two fabulous Neena-y performances, we get to discuss which one is more fabulous.
Continue readingWoot, A Gentleman! Such a great Indian-American movie. I am super excited to watch it with y’all.
Continue readingThis is a post I put up for women directors week. I had a little sub-category for women choreographers, and that’s all thanks to Saroj. She broke down that barrier and made choreography a female space.
Continue readingThank you Alisa for alerting me to this news. For once a death occurs on the western news cycle, so I get to hear about it mid-evening instead of waking up to it first thing.
Continue readingYes, this is yet another Hollywood-India combo ideas post. Don’t care, it’s hot, I like escaping into my own mind.
Continue readingYes! We are finally watching A Gentleman! It’s so good. I am so excited to share it with you all. And it’s the perfect 4th of July movie, all American setting and silly.
Continue readingThis is going to be a shallow dive. But should still be interesting, even if I just skim the surface of the topic.
Continue readingOpposite! I already asked the reverse question on the morning post, Indian movie for America. Easier in some ways for this crowd I think, not because we know more about India than Hollywood but just because we are used to introducing people to Indian films more.
Continue readingIt’s still hot, I’m getting a heat headache, I’m putting up a lazy discussion post
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Let’s chat! I am in the middle of a massive heat wave and have retreated to my air conditioned bedroom for the day! Keep me company!

Continue readingEither way, this is going to be a good good week! Two great movies to pick from, and then we can all turn them off and focus on comforting our doggies. 4th of July, terrible weekend for dog owners.
Continue readingSome of these songs, the rest of the movie has America looking terrible. But it only has the punch because you contrast it with the earlier “America is freedom and happiness and I love it here” beginning.
Continue readingWoot, Planned Parenthood won a court case! But there will always be another one coming, donate here to help give them the resources they need. And to help us understand how important their work is, let us look at Anushka’s angry supernatural trilogy of the horrors that happen when a woman does not have control over her own body. (I know I say “no politics” all the time, but so far as I am concerned, this is not political but personal. anyway, it’s my blog, I get to make the rules)

Continue readingI have so many! Mostly related to logistics. But someone has to think about these things! Our drippy young lovers sure don’t.
Continue readingHappy week before 4th of July!!!!! I may or may not have all day Friday off. My work schedule is unclear. Anyway, I’ll definitely have a half day and can do a watchalong, which is what matters.
Continue readingI have many ideas! While aware it is extremely unlikely, I do think that making me the head of the Indian censor board would basically fix EVERYTHING. Read on, and I bet you will agree with me.
Continue readingMovies set in America? Movies critical of America? Movies with dumb Americans? Anything is possible!
Continue readingI’m excited! Disney is now in India, for realsies, and I love the classic Disney fairy tales for their strong central female characters. Time for an imaginary rewrite!
Continue readingIt is sooooooooooooo hot today. I mentioned we’ve been having hot-rain-hot-rain-hot-rain? Well, today has just been hot-hot-hot-hot! Like, dripping sweat off my eyebrows hot. I think it is time for us to watch some cooling songs.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! And Happy RD Burman Day! Let us all create ridiculous art that is decades ahead of it’s time, and also wear cool black rimmed glasses.
