Thank you Naina for suggesting this post! I wrote a post a few years back on how Shahrukh uses his sexuality onscreen and how it has developed, but it is time for an update based on his latest movies, especially Pathaan. (original post is here)
Continue readingHappy Pathaan Week!!!! No doy, we are watching it for our watchalong this week. You have no other choice.
Continue readingHAPPY PATHAAN DAY!!!! It’s on PRIME!!! I’m so happy. Now I can make everyone I know who didn’t see it in theaters, see it on streaming.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! It’s been a bit of a day, as you can see by me writing this post in the late afternoon. But also, Spring Solstice!
Continue readingHappy Sunday! It’s still chilly in Chicago, I am very happy to have a nice slow morning with Tabu and Ajay.
Continue readingI’m gonna assume most Americans have seen The Quiet Man, as it is the standard Saint Patrick’s Day feel good film classic. If you haven’t, you should! It’s very pretty.
Continue readingYaaaaaay, watchalong!!!! And yaaaaaaaay, Tabu!!!!! Very excited about this, wee bit nervous that no one will be able to come since it is a busy weekend.
Continue readingThree very different movies! And, hopefully, y’all will be interested in one of them. At least interested enough to wake up early on a Sunday!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!!! On Thursday!!! Clearly, I have been reading and watching and thinking too much, and not doing enough writing.
Continue readingDesserts and SRK! What could be better? And pie seems like something everyone will pick different, so let’s consider which character would most like which flavors.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! I had cleaners come in this morning, which was AMAZING. All the grime of the kitchen deconstruction, neatly removed, and my house looks pleasant again. Well, until the next batch of workman come through and mess it up.
Continue readingOh my, I forgot the time change. And then I remembered. And more importantly, my phone remembered, so I am actually awake.
Continue readingThis is a really REALLY good script. Not the usual “obstacle, overcome, obstacle” sort of script, more a free floating series of events tied together by a central character conflict. And the character conflict is REAL. It’s not a “stupid people plot” reason, it’s a real life thing that is a real life problem. Until the end credits song which doesn’t even seem to fit with the depth of the rest of the film.
Continue readingI’m worried people will read that headline and think it’s sarcastic. It’s not! Luv Ranjan is like Chuck Lorre in that it is cool to dismiss their work, but if you actually objectively watch it, they are the opposite of what everyone says about them.
Continue readingI don’t care that I am anti-meanspirited gossip and so on and so forth! Ranbir is the exception! As he is so proud of telling us, he is Different From Other Stars.
Continue readingHappy Friday! On yesterday’s post I wrote “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” when I meant “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, like a FOOL. But now I’m thinking about it and thinking “yeah, I want to see that movie again”. So let’s just do it!
Continue readingYes, let’s do a watchalong! Only, I’m tired and still a little sinus-y, so a nice light watchalong. What’s a good light happy soothing movie we could watch?
Continue readingI’m dealing with a brutal sinus infection. So bad I thought it might be strep, but today it moved into my nose so I know it isn’t. Anyway, in addition to treating it with accupuncture and Eucalyptus essential oils and so on, I’m thinking I need a good flushing things out cry. What movies should I watch for that?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I just had a nice long hot shower and I feel so nice. Showers are magic!
Continue readingHappy Monday!!!! I am so tired. 8 days in California, and somehow I already have jetlag. Or whatever it is called when you are in a different time zone and now you are in another time zone.
Continue readingHappy Friday! Tomorrow I get up pre-dawn and fly back to Chicago and get to see Albie Dog again. But today, site seeing!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And also, happy first full sunny day since I have been in CA!!!! It actually feels like a vacation, and this afternoon we might go to a beach!
Continue readingThis is an excellently made documentary. Just, very very solid. Tells a cohesive story entirely through multiple interviews stitched together, and cohesive mini-stories within each of the 4 episodes. It’s the kind of thing that used to be an Event and my family would sit down and watch it every week on PBS. Intelligent, clear, informative, and fully fully factchecked and researched.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! I get through today, I get through tomorrow, and then I fly to the sunny/rainy land of California where I get to stay with my friend in her house that has a functioning kitchen. Oh the WONDER.
Continue readingLet’s chat! Be social! Enjoy each other! And possibly, solve some of the Great Questions of the Universe.
