Trailers! Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and Final Simmba!
I am so excited, FINALLY a full length Ek Ladki Ko Dekha trailer!!!!! And it looks very unusual and very interesting and I am excited.
Continue readingGlobal Box Office: Zero is a Disappointment, Not a Flop
So exciting! A Shahrukh release box office day! And, as usual lately, it is neither the exciting flop nor the exciting hit that the media wants it to be. Sometimes things are just kind of bad without being “the Worst EVER”! (as always figures from bollywoodhungama)
Continue readingMadlibs! Just in Time to Play With Your Family!
Let’s Play Madlibs! The Classic Holiday Fun game!
Continue readingA Challenge Post! How Many of These Questions Can You Answer?
More holiday fun! This is if you need a brainteaser to occupy you for hours and hours, or perhaps to share with the rest of the family and let them struggle along too.
Continue readingFun Boxing Day Quiz! Who is Your Ideal Dream Lover Type?
This is a fun off-shoot of this post, in which I described (as I saw them) the three types of romantic fantasy men in Indian film. But let’s make this fun and turn it into one of those silly magazine quizzes! Are you an Alpha, Beta, or Zeta lover?
Continue readingBoxing Day Game! Let’s Play Paperdolls With Celebrities, What Western-Eastern Couples Do We Want to See?
This is a game suggestion from my sister, and I promised to give her credit, so here it is!!!! Credit!!!! Now that Nick-PC have broken the India-America celebrities bar, who else would we put together, were we to control the universe?
Continue readingBoxing Day Challenge Post! What is the Sexiest Film Start To Finish of Your Favorite Star?
More post-Christmas fun!!!! A discussion to sneak off to when you are just sick of relatives, or to have with said relatives if they are fun and open-minded.
Continue readingChristmastime Fun! Can You Match Head to Torso?
Another fun game for us! And easier this time than when I first posted it, because I was missing a couple photos then but I’m not now. Can you match the star’s face to their torso?????
Continue readingAnother Game! To Play With Yourself, Or Others
I like this game. We can play it as a group if you post your answers in the comments, or you can play it with the people you are with, or just silently in your head to pass the time.
Continue readingBoxing Day Games! Who is Your Perfect Movie Star?
Happy Day After Christmas/Salman’s Birthday/Boxing Day!!!! To help keep you entertained as you sneak glimpses of the internet on your phone, or to spark conversation as you giggle away with your girl cousins or middle-aged aunties, I will be providing quizzes/games all day. Starting with the most recent one, a quiz to discover who is your perfect star match!
Continue readingWednesday Watching: What Are We All Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening To on Boxing Day?
Happy Day After Christmas!!!! I hope your holiday was lovely, and that you don’t have to rush rush back to work right away.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Salman Khan! My Favorite of Your Recent Movies, Bajrangi Bhaijaan
This is not just Boxing Day, but also SALMAN DAY!!!!! Yaaaaay! And to celebrate, instead of digging out my same old “50+ reasons I love you” posts, I am reposting my review of my favorite Salman movie. Really highly encourage everyone to watch it who has not yet seen it.
Continue readingMerry Christmas From the Indian Film Industry!
Happy Christmas afternoon! We are all sitting around playing with our new toys and dozing lightly, and I just checked in with Indian film and Salman’s twitter was so cheerful and full of holiday joy, I just had to share it! And some other stuff as well. (also, my embeds are acting weird, click the link if it doesn’t show up)
Continue readingMerry Christmas!!!!!
Did you think I would forget you? I did not! Well, I kind of did, this post was written yesterday and scheduled. But I still wanted to put up some kind of holiday greeting.
Continue readingChristmas Means Hope, and Why I Find that in Indian Films
I wrote a silly thing for Sunday using Christmas traditions for fanfic. And I am doing a Christmas Card giveaway. All of that is kind of silly and superficial, it may seem as though I don’t take the holiday seriously. Or maybe I do, but I don’t find anything in it that can overlap with my Hindi film love. And that’s not the case, so I want to write a post about why Christmas is so important to me, and how it wraps itself around every part of my life, including the films I watch. (this is a repost from last year)
Continue readingKatching Up on Koffee: BAHUBALI!!!!
I know, this is late, but it’s Christmas Eve, is anyone really waiting for this post to go up?
Continue readingMerry Christmas Eve!!! Grand Finale of the Christmas Season, Give Me Your Address and I Will Send You a Card!!!!
Happy Christmas Eve! Like many households, we are celebrating with the annual Fight Over Whether Or Not to Go to Midnight Services. It’s so cold! And so late! Is candlelight carol singing really worth it? Or do we split the difference and either drive instead of walking, or go to the cheating 10:30pm service? At least it gives us a nice topic of conversation for the next 12 hours
Sunday ReRun: Kaho Na Pyar Hai, For Christmas!
Christmas time! A time for thinking about miraculous rebirths and Santa Clause and snow and desert island romances. Okay, maybe not that last, but the rest of it is alllllll here in this movie. Especially Santa.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic (rerun): The Christmas Story in an Indian Film Trilogy
A ReRun for Christmas! Of my most Christmassy fanfic, the one that is actually based on the Christmas story. And it’s a really good one too.
Continue readingChristmas Card Give Away, the LAST WEEK! And the Winner is… Joyomama!!!!!
Every week I think “this is it, the greatest card ever”. And then I top myself the next week. But I really feel like this week it actually IS the greatest card ever.
Continue readingSunday ReRun Announcement! Soorma, the Other Hockey Movie
Yes, I am going to make you watch two movies based on true stories about Indian Hockey players in the same week. Fun times! We can all decide which we like best!
Continue readingNext Friday ReRun Classic Announcement: Gold! To Help You Catch Up on Movies of 2018 Before it is Over!
I’m on vacation, I’m not writing a new review. And anyway, Gold is a good movie and it is on Prime now so you should all go watch it! Also, Filmilibrarian is lowkey obsessed with it, and I wanted to support her in that because I am all about supporting obsession.
Continue readingMiss Bennet: Christmas At Pemberly Post (With Spoilers! Watch Out!): This Play is Like Watching a Really Really Good P&P FanFic, but at Christmas!
Procrastinatrix said she wanted a review of the totally silly Christmas play my sister and I just saw (while wearing matching Christmas sweatshirts!). It’s essentially Pride and Prejudice fanfic, but well-written fanfic. So good in fact that I kind of want to end by suggesting a minor rewrite and casting for the Indian version.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: I’ll Tell You About My Weekend if You Tell Me About Yours!
Happy Saturday! I am sleeping in because yesterday was very very long and very very tiring. I’ll tell you all about it, and then you can talk about your days while I sleep.
