TGIF (An Early Repost): In Honor of the 4th of July, I Declare Independence…From Clothes (NSFW)

The 4th of July is on a Wednesday this year, so no TGIF.  But I couldn’t forgo this post, especially since there are updates to it for this year, so I am putting it up early.  And sneaking it out mid-afternoon on a Thursday, hoping that it doesn’t permenantly damage my brand.  Whatever, it’s a long week, sometimes you can’t wait until Friday!

Lazy Thursday Discussion Post: What in a Trailer Makes You Go “Yeah, I’ll Watch That Movie” (Inspired By John in Police Uniform in Satyamev Jayete)

It’s hot, the week isn’t over yet, and I am trying to avoid starting Sacred Games (it’s just SO BIG. I’m hoping if I carry it around with me everywhere, I can read it by osmosis).  So, let’s have a totally frivolous and silly discussion!

Netflix List For June! Almost Nothing Added Besides Lust

Time for a Netflix update!  Which I only do once a month or so, so it’s not up to the minute accurate.  But hopefully I make up for that with the descriptions I give them.  (Accessbollywood.net does the real work of keeping this list updated, you should definitely absolutely subscribe to them for your day to day updates.)

Discussion Post: Anupama Announces Film Companion Will Not Cover Sacred Games or Sanju At All, What Do We Think????

Thank you to Akshat for bringing this to my attention!  I have no strong feelings about it, but I am finding it fascinating to consider from all angles and puzzle over what I would do, or what I would want someone else to do in this situation.

Dabangg Reloaded Chicago Show: I Had a Miserable Time Thanks to Local Promoter Hetal Patel

I did research and investigated and now I know why the show I saw last night was horrifically infuriatingly terrible.  Not surprisingly, it’s the fault of the Chicago local who also thought it was a good idea to turn it into a political event for our insanely incompetent Governor (“you know what would save the state money?  If we just stopped paying our bills and let the interest accumulate until all our debtors went bankrupt.  Sure the children’s hospital will go out of business, but those kids with cancer should just die instead of continuing to put a burden on the state”).

Silly Sunday: Happy Pride (Repost)! Many Many FanFics, Including Shahrukh/Arjun and Rani/Vidya

You understand that I mean “gay” as a genre, not an insult, right?  Kind of horrible that I have to make that clarification.  There used to be a movie store in the gay neighborhood of my city that had a series of shelves called “Neighborhood Favorites”.  Which was their little pseudonym for movies with same sex romantic plot lines.  So maybe I should say that instead, all the Khans, plus Amitabh, should be in “neighborhood favorite” movies.

Dabangg Reloaded Chicago Show: Literally Unwatchable, WHAT HAPPENED????

Well, that was a disaster!  And not in the way I was expecting, but rather the complete opposite.  Salman and all the performers were great, it was everything else that was shockingly bad.  And I can look at video from Atlanta and see that they got a totally different show than I did.  WHAT HAPPENED IN CHICAGO????
