Birthday Report from the Front! SRK Stays Up Late, Plays Cards
And the grand day is finally here! In India. Crowds outside the gate, small family party inside, very different from my last birthday.
Shahrukh Math
As almost always, my sister did a Shahrukh themed problem set for her math class in honor of his birthday. And now I will share it with you, to give you all painful math class flashbacks, and make you wish you were in her class.
Milk of Evil or Why I Started the Blog and Love Shahrukh
I just had my usual agonizing ten minutes of deep moral complexity when deciding what milk to buy, and I thought I would walk you all through it so you know that I’m not just insane about overthinking movies, it’s my whole life.
Shahrukh Month Discussion Post: What Do You Want to See SRK Do Next, Outside of Film and Movies?
Question from Procrastinatrix! Which I really liked so I am using. We have talked a lot about the movies or TV series we want from him as an actor, but what would we like to see him do beyond that?
Happy Birthday Month Shahrukh! Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Yash Chopra’s Final Love Triangle
Happy Wednesday Shahrukh Review day! Aw, only one left after this. That’s sad. But, it has given me a chance to crank through some of his films that I hadn’t gotten around to addressing before.
Shahrukh Birthday Month: JHMS, Happy New Year, Raees, Om Shanti Om, JTHJ Rewritten So He Can Play His Own Age
There are a large number of films where he actually is playing his own age, or close to it. But for those few where he is clearly far far distant from the character age, here are my suggestions for how to fix it. It’s not hard, I don’t know why they didn’t just right it this way to begin with!
Shahrukh Month Review: Yes Boss, Shahrukh and Huckleberry Finn
Such an interesting movie! A light tone and a dark story. In keeping with it’s predecessor, The Apartment. Oh, and don’t worry too much about SPOILERS on this one if you haven’t seen it before, everything is more or less predictable.
Shahrukh Birthday Month Post: Best/Strangest Shahrukh Items for Sale on The Internet
I’m not talking about, like, hair clippings. I have never had any luck finding stuff like that. But there is plenty of other mass produced weirdness out there.
TGIF: Silliest SRK Photoshoot Photos, to Cheer Us Up. Plus, Poetry!
Well, I got no sleep, and it is overcast today, and I am very much looking forward to finishing work, going home, leaving again, going to a movie, and then falling into bed for about 20 hours. In the meantime, to keep me going, I am going to post the silliest SRK Photoshoot Photos I can find. And please feel free to post more in the comments if you can find them. (down a line, past in the url of the photo, down another line)
Shahrukh Month Discussion Post: What Are the One Scenes/Plot Points that Ruined a Shahrukh Movie for You? Or the One Scenes/Plot Points that Made it All Worthwhile?
Thank you Procrastinatrix for the suggestion! And hopefully we can get a nice discussion going, like we did on Thursday for the one Shahrukh movie people really hated.
TGIF: For Shahrukh Month, Best Shahrukh Candid Photos
Why over think it, you know? I’m not coming up with a theme or anything like that, I’m just saying out of all the candid photos I can find, these are the ones I like best. Feel free to disagree and post your own suggestions in the comments. Or to skip this post entirely if you can’t stand his face.
Votes Needed! Should I Do an SRK Birthday Month, Yes Or No? (Also, remember to register to vote if you are in America)
I need your opinions! I need to make a blog scheduling decision soon and I don’t know what the preference of the readers is. So, get ready to answer a poll! I thought this would be a good day for it since it is also Voter Registration Day in America (REGISTER TO VOTE or CHECK YOUR VOTING STATUS).
Friday Classics: Swades, True Happiness Comes From Working Together to Do Good
Reflects on Life was talking about this movie in the Wednesday Watching post and suggested it for a Friday Classic. Which made me realize I hadn’t actually written about it yet. I think it’s one of those Big movies that I was avoiding, ones that are really good, and I also really like and I want to be careful to explain why I like them in a way that makes you like them too, not just appreciate their quality.
New Shahrukh Interview! FINALLY!!! Full Text, Annotated With My Thoughts
Well, it’s been a long drought, but now with Zero on the horizon, and Suhana to protect, Shahrukh is finally coming out of his time of silence and has given us one little nice interview to talk over.
Eid Report! From Aamir, Shahrukh, and Randeep Hooda
Salman didn’t give us the big family Eid photo, which is fine, it’s not the big big Eid. Although this sounds like a nice one, remembering the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son by sharing food with the needy of your community, your friends, and your family. And it is also a moment for one of my favorite traditions from the Indian film industry, the holiday greetings and messages to the fans from the stars.
My Car is Dead! I Retreat to Shahrukh for Comfort
Well….I didn’t end up stalled in a cornfield? Or the middle of the highway? Things could be worse! Right?
TGIF: Inspired By Suhana, Best/Worst Magazine Covers
Kind of surprised I haven’t done this already. Oh well, we are here now! I don’t promise a comprehensive overview, but I am going to pick out the most strikingly different covers I can find.
Quick Discussion Post: Multi-starrers, how do we rank the heroes as potential husbands? Amar Akbar Anthony to Kabhi Alveda Na Kehna
It’s Monday, I feel the need for a distraction from work. And anonymous and I have just been discussing an important issue that I feel deserves the full attention of us all: Is Jimmy Shergill or Jugal Hansraj better in Mohabbatein? And, on the other end, is Uday Chopra or Amitabh worse? This made me realize that we really need to hash this out for multiple films.
Friday Classics: Don 1 and 2, a Late Birthday Present for Priyanka
You have all been delightfully patient with my incredibly dull history of media series that I’ve been obsessed with for the past few days, but now it is all over and as a reward, I will do an intensive review of two movies that I suspect most of you have seen, and have opinions on.
Let’s Obsess over Katrina’s Zero Look!!!
For her birthday (/to take advantage of Kat being trending news today), Shahrukh posted her first look from Zero and a little introductory statement on his twitter. So, let’s obsess over it! The way we do.
Shahrukh at 26 Video: What Did He Chose to Leave In and What Did He Chose to Leave Out and Why?
This video went up on Friday, but I have had a busy weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to watch it closely until now. Lot’s of interesting things to discuss!
Monday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Last Week in June?
Happy Monday! I am still grumpy about being gypped out of a good show on Saturday night (Hetal Patel, I curse your name!!!!), but I got to have coffee this morning, so that’s nice.
Hindi Film 101: Priyanka Chopra and Shahrukh Khan
Apparently, this is going to be a story again. So I will try to address it again. The first time I tried, I got so much anger in the comments (by Priyanka defenders who misread it as the strawman version below) that I had to pull down the post, but maybe it will be better now. Mostly because I will try to be more clear in my writing.
Autism Pride Day, My Name is Khan
I just randomly felt like writing about this movie. I’ve been avoiding it, because this is one that is really close to my heart and I know it isn’t close to the heart of most people, which is going to be heard for me to take when you comment. But then on the other hand, I should write about it for that very reason, so you can understand what I am thinking, and I can understand what you are thinking. And anyway, it’s Autism Pride Day today, and it was Eid a couple of days ago, so it seems like the perfect time. Plus, I am planning to cover Vishwaroop tomorrow and the two kind of go together.
