I am a lazy bear today! Stayed up too late seeing Kedarnath and then trying to keep my eyes open to write a review, on top of a series of late nights and busy times. So today I am giving myself some time to just do absolutely nothing. Except pick up my rugs from the cleaners that I can only get to on Saturdays. But otherwise, NOTHING!
I assume this is good? I haven’t actually watched it myself. But I have seen the EPIC final speech from the heroine, which is enough to make me want to see the whole thing. So, I will watch it, and then review it for you on Friday 12/14.
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?
I tried really really hard to come up with good imaginative theme this week. And then I gave up and decided “Green! Like Christmas!” (disclaimer: green turns out to be a really tricky shade! Some of these photos looked green on my home computer and not on my work one. After spending some time squinting, I just gave up and accepted that color can be subjective)
Huh! This was an even better movie than I remembered! Managed to balance real feeling relationships and specific characters with broad comedy.
I tried to skip a week of fanfic, but apparently I can’t and I will always get sucked in against my will. So here is the fanfic MKP and I wrote in the comments of the Fawad Khan birthday post, inspired by a discussion of how most of the time he looks truly other worldly in his beauty.
I can’t believe it, Karan released this on twitter exactly 5 minutes after I went to bed. He must be watching me through his secret cameras and waiting until I go to sleep and only then releasing new stuff. Evil Karan! EVIL! Or at least, a little mean.
More holiday fun! Probably not as fun as the MadLibs post, or yesterday’s “hook-up date marry kill” characters post (which you can still comment on) but still pretty good. And the best part, there are no clear answers! Every game could end up different. and the other best part is, it gives us all something light and brainless to do while we all (including myself) are overwhelmed with holiday schedules.
Whatever, it’s December, nothing is happening. Let’s play Hindi film Madlibs!!!! Because Dina suggested it, and also it sounds really fun!
Happy Wednesday! Time to exchange stories and links and all that fun stuff! You amuse yourselves while I try to get ahead of postings because I have a party tonight.
If you’ve already seen the movie, jump over to the SPOILER review to discuss it. This is the review to entice new viewers to watch it because it is on Netflix and it is AMAZING.
Don’t read the SPOILER review! Not if you haven’t watched the movie on Netflix yet. It’s SO GOOD. You should go over there and watch it. And in about half an hour I am reposting the No Spoiler review for you to read and convince you to watch it even more. But for those of you who have already seen it, here is the review all fun and convenient for us to comment on. Also, THANK YOU NETFLIX!!!! Teefa in Trouble is the best Christmas gift of all.
Well, huh! This is a very interesting comparison with the last song. And I hope Aanand L Rai is planning to do something deep and interesting comparing the two of them. Or else it’s just an excuse for a Salman cameo.
This is not the greatest trailer. Or maybe it is? It tells you exactly what this movie will be, no extra style flourishes or fanciness.
Huh. Well, the season is really going now, and it looks like this will be season of interesting personal stories and connections. I am down with that! After Saif-Sara and Janhvi-Arjun, we have another very private and unusual connection between two people. Actually, three people. Because Karan is part of it this time around.
Well, the new Mr. and Mrs. Jonas have now complete their first night of wedding bliss. There’s an image to wake you up in the morning! Maybe with a strange sense of mystery and confusion, maybe with a shudder of horror, but certainly with a little boost of energy to get you going.
As December grinds on and everyone has less time and needs more of an escape, Mirzya seems like a good choice. Very odd, very dreamy, fairly short. You can have it on in the background in kind of a loop if you like.
I was having lunch with my parents today, which is why I am late posting this, and my Dad asked what was happening with “Priyanka and the Little Guy”. I’m just sharing this with you so that, like me, you will now have that phrase indelibly burned into your mind any time you see PC-Nick coverage.
This is I think the first serious review I wrote. Back when no one was reading me. So I am reposting it so you can enjoy it now. And also because it’s December and no one much is reading, so I might as well put up a review that I’ve already posted twice.
As I already said in my No Spoilers review, this move is surprisingly good! Well, “surprising” to me, because I usually don’t like Shankar, and the trailer made it seem like just shallow action. So, I recommend watching it if possible without having read spoilers. But if you don’t believe it can really be that good, read the spoilers and then go see it anyway. Oh, and I should say it isn’t a total “anyone will love it” movie, so if you don’t like action science superhero films, you probably won’t like this.
First winner of December!!!! And the reveal of last week’s beautiful card, specially created just for Angie.
This is not nearly as fun as Sonam’s part so far. But there are a few fun videos leaking out. Okay, there are 4 videos. But they are all really fun!
This is my favorite way to be wrong. A movie I wrote off as terrible based on the ad campaign and so on turns out to be great! Boo for my predictive abilities but YAAAY for the WORLD!!!!
Yaaay! Everyone dressed up so FANCY!!!! And everyone came!!!!! Or at least, lots and lots of people came. (most of this photos are from Times of India, link here)
I could have stayed up until 2-3am and attempted live coverage, but I decided it was not worth it and I was going to bed instead and will find it all laid out for me in the morning. Write a DeepVeer post, write a PC-Nick post, watch 2.0, the perfect Saturday!
