Happy Sunday!!! Normally I say if no one shows up within the first 15 minutes, I cancel. But today, no! I’m just gonna let the thing run in the background while I clean the living room if no one shows up. And occasionally comment.
Continue readingSunday seems to be the winning time! But I had to balance the PST people with my going to dinner with my parents and so on, and I landed on 3pm Chicago time. Which I hope will be equally inconvenient/convenient for everyone.
Continue readingHappy happy Wednesday! I am at a new plateau of job stress! Still don’t have a new job, but soooooooooooooooooooo much happier and better and optimistic and everything now that I have a few days separated from the old one!
Continue readingSuch a weird day! It would be weird and emotional no matter what, but since I am leaving on such bad strange terms, it feels even weirder. As always in the darkest times of my life, I turn to SRK.
Continue readingI’m trying to get through my second to last day at this job and the best distraction is cheesy gossip. Join me!
Continue readingI already put up my no-spoilers review. You can read that if you want to watch the movie with no spoilers, be surprised by how it plays out. But if you can’t wait for streaming and want to find out what happens, read on! You will still enjoy it for all the silly jokes and clever images, even if you know the plot.
Continue readingSo happy I was finally able to watch this! With the nuttiness of my life this past month (two big family visits, plus work stuff) I really thought I wouldn’t be able to catch it in theaters. I finally did, but was also late so I think I missed about the first ten minutes? Still incredible though!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I gotta get through 5 more days of this job, and then I get to have a pizza party on Friday. I had a vivid work nightmare last night where my boss yelled at me again, so that’s a great way to start my last day!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I have 7 more work days at this job (not counting today). My Mom made me a paper chain! It’s very satisfying.
Continue readingWoot, Zoom meeting! As always, I tried to come up with some discussion questions and write a summary of our answers. And I want to hear what you all who couldn’t come think too!
Continue readingI am so excited to see your faces again and talk about sweet sweet young Dharmendra! I sent links to those who have asked so far, just use the “Contact Me” link above to let me know if you would like a link too.
Continue readingAs always, you can skip this post and go back to reading the archives if all you care about is film reviews. But if you find yourself thinking “hey, what’s going on with Margaret?” then this is the post for you! Also, dog photos.
Continue readingPhool Aur Patthar is SUCH a good movie! Really, watch it even if you can’t come to the Zoom. But I hope you can! I love our Zoom talks.
Continue readingMiss Braganza asked about another DCIB discussion, and I think I can do it the weekend after next! And I’m excited! I hope you are too!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I put in my notice last week, so this is the start of my first weird “I’m leaving but still here” week. Will it be easier or harder or just different? Who knows!
Continue readingThese are a bit of the “eat a sandwich!” variety. Not as much as Hrithik photos, but still, he could afford to fatten himself up a bit.
Continue readingDon’t panic, I said “may be”. Still shouldn’t have happened, but there’s a reason that particular character had to look darker than everyone else.
Continue readingFilmikudhi alerted me to a new Ranbir interview which, like all Ranbir interviews, makes be squeaky with raaaaaaaaaaaaaaage. And at the same time, there’s other stuff that also makes me squeaky with raaaaaaaaaaaage!
Continue readingWatched this movie last week, SUPER fun! Costumes, swords, Hema Malini, horses, all kinds of good things! Not necessarily enough there-there for a full review, but a interesting jumping off place to think about Orientalism and circularity and all kinds of things.
Continue readingI love me some 1970s Jayaji! She was soooooooooooooooooo good. I mean, she’s still very very good, but she doesn’t get as good roles as she used to back then.
Continue readingTurns out, Sunday afternoon is the best time for everyone! So lets do that! The discussion will only be an hour, so hopefully it won’t be too hard for y’all to make it.
Continue readingI love love love Anamika, and I would be thrilled to discuss it with anyone who can show up! Hopefully this is a day/time that actually works.
Continue readingThis is one of those posts that’s not for the casual reader, but if you are a long time reader who is interested in the non-Indian Film part of my world, UPDATE!
Continue readingI got my coffee, I’m cozy in a bathrobe, Albie Dog is curled up next to me, it’s all good! Time to watch a movie! Unless no one shows up within the first 15 minutes, in which case time to read a book instead!
Continue readingIt’s Saturday night and I’m making sure to get to bed early so I can get up tomorrow and watch Yeh Dillagi with all y’all!
