TGIF: Hair! I’m Getting Mine Trimmed Today, So Let’s Look at Gorgeous Hair on Women

Posted on by

This sounds really egotistical, but I have the most amazing hair you will ever see in your life. Like I said, egotistical. But actually, it’s just saying a fact. It’s amazing. I love going in for my annual trim, because everyone takes photos and applauds and it is generally good for the ego. Anyway, I am getting my semi-annual cut tonight and it seemed like a good theme for a TGIF post, women with awesome hair.

Shahrukh Khan PR Report: The Beard is Gone, the Good Press is Back

Posted on by

Woo-hoo, Shahrukh’s PR team! You deserve congrats, champagne, and a nice long vacation. Shahrukh got another honorary degree and the coverage has been spun just right. It’s like a perfectly tailored suit, so well done as to be invisible and just allow the man within it to shine.

Next Thursday, Vettai! It’s on Netflix now, it has Maddy in cuddly teddy bear mode dressed in his little police uniform, it’s got a couple of really great songs, the heroines are fun and strong, and there’s also Arya who I am supposed to find the sexy dangerous hot hero, but I don’t, because Maddy is there.

Discussion Post (Because No One is Commenting and I Have Writer’s Block): What Do You Think is the Best All Time Indian Film Soundtrack Album?

I was all set for people to get angry with me for my Hindi Film 101 on class and Kangana, and nothing. And not really any comments on my Super Deluxe review either (if someone wants to link back to it from the Bardwaj review page as an example of a review that is critical of the film, that would be great). Anyway, when the comments drop down, so does my ability to think abstractly and intelligently and I end up putting up stupid posts like this in an attempt to get a response from the void.

I don’t have to go to church for the first time in AGES on Sunday. And, equally importantly, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga is ON NETFLIX!!!!!!!!! So I am going to do a last minute tweetalong/ReRun review. It is so good, I won’t mind rewatching it all by myself if I have to. But I am hoping some of you will join in because that is what makes the Tweetalong fun. Let’s all skip church together!

Kalank Full Length Trailer is Out!!!! (Also, it’s not based on What the Body Remembers)

Well, it’s pretty much what we thought. I think. No subtitles, because Dharma hates us. And then they will magically appear in like 3 hours. WHY DO THEY DO THIS???? Oh, and I actually did 5 minutes of research and confirmed that it is NOT based on What the Body Remembers any more than Paa was based on Benjamin Buttons (yes, that was a story for a while too).

Alia Week: Shaandaar, a Movie in Which a Problem is Invented in Order to Avoid Facing the Real Issues

Posted on by

Oh dear. I know this is a movie that a lot of you really like. And I’m sorry, but I just don’t. So either you will read this review and be convinced and then I will have taken something pleasurable away from your life. Or you will read this review and disagree with me, and then we will be in a fight, and I don’t like that either. There’s really no way to win here, and I hate it! Well, I suppose I could lie and only say nice things about the movie, but that’s never gonna happen. I have to be honest and mean and make you unhappy. Shoot. Just, don’t read the review. Really, don’t, not if you love this movie and it will make you unhappy to read someone who doesn’t.

Use your HEADS people!!!!!! Oh my gosh, twitter and rumors and stuff are flying about things that ONE SECOND of logical intelligent thought would show you are not real things. And also, I should maybe not read the news before having my coffee, because it just makes me too grumpy.

Super Deluxe Review (SPOILERS): Subtle Misogyny Ruins Visual Fireworks

Posted on by

I’ve been informed that this movie is getting crazy buzz, like “best film of the decade” buzz. Huh. I just don’t see it. It’s good, but it also has major flaws. If you saw it and want some help following the plots, or if you aren’t able to see it but want to know what happens, you can read this review. If you want to go in without knowing what will happen, you can read my other review. Or I guess if you didn’t like this movie, you should also read this review and see if I can articulate what bothered you, if perhaps it is the same thing that bothered me.

Monday Morning Questions: Ask Me Anything on April Fool’s Day!

Happy Monday and Happy April Fool’s! I have no idea how to celebrate. I feel like I should put up a post like “Karan Johar Marries Anupam Kher” or “Alia Bhatt is Cast as Lead in Nehru Biopic”, but that would just be mean. I’ll probably just come up with some kind of songs post.

Loved this movie! The more I think about it, the more I like it. Really, you should watch it. Don’t expect groundbreaking brilliance, but if you want sweet happy little stories, this would be it. And if you can see it, avoid this review and read the no spoilers review instead.

Notebook Review (No Spoilers): A Lovely Happy Hopeful Little film

What a nice good movie! I am really sorry that nobody will be watching it. It was only playing at 2pm and 10pm at my theater yesterday, and only 11am and 5pm today. I went to the 11am show and got a private screening. Stupid distributors/producers messed up the promotions and release! But I am here to tell you, it’s a super good movie and you should make an effort to see it, even if no one else seems to care.
