Sanjay Dutt: A Timeline of His Life
In honor of the release of Sanju today, I am reposting my entire series on Sanjay Dutt. If you can’t wait for the reposts, you can find the original posts in the index here.
YouTube Video on Everything About Sanjay Dutt That Will Be Left Out Of Sanju
I have to admit, this is partly because I thought I looked really good in my new dress. Only it didn’t come through as well in video. Curses! Anyway, the content is good and whatever too.
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!
Another New Youtube Video! Shahrukh and the Academy
Filmed immediately after that last video, so I look even hotter. Not “hot” as in “attractive” but “hot” as in “my face is red and my hair is falling down”. But hey, the content is good! And that’s what really matters, right? Good content?
New Box Office Video! I Look TERRIBLE
Well, I made a youtube video. In my hot living room at the end of a long day with Dog Hazel poking and bugging me the whole time. So the appearance is not the best, but the content is great!
Upcoming Movies: Satyamev Jayate, Ek Ladki Ko Dekho, and Zingat!
Hello hello! Twitter had all kinds of homework for me this morning, soooooooooooo many trailers.
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.)
Americans Only Announcement: Where to Donate and Where to Protest Muslim Ban
Sorry non-US folks, this has nothing to do with you. But for those of you in America, the Supreme Court’s decision yesterday on the Muslim Ban is so closely related to the topic of this blog that I want to do a post on it. (no comments, because this is a simple FYI post)
Happy Birthday RD!!!!! Still the Greatest Composer in Hindi Film History
For his birthday, I will give you 55 reasons to love him (mostly songs) (this is an updated and reposted post)
Wednesday Watching: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking This Week?
Happy Wednesday! Halfway through the week and I am WIPED. Still haven’t fully recovered from staying out soooooooooooooo late for the Salman concert (I am old). Oh well, I don’t have to do anything tonight or tomorrow, so I’ve got loads of time to prepare mentally and physically for Sanju.
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.
Fanney Khan Teaser: Who Here Has a Crush on Jazz Musician Anil Kapoor?
Me me, I do I do!!!!! Anil should always play his own age, it’s the only way. I am excited enough that he is getting a post all to himself because there aren’t any other teasers/trailers out today I want to talk about.
New Indian Members of the Academy: Watch Out Oscars, Aditya Chopra is Coming For You
Well, this is an odd list! And it inspired me to do a bit of research on how these names are chosen and what it means and what the process is.
One More Pride Post! That I Forgot to Put Up Yesterday: Queer Images
I reposted everything yesterday, I thought, (once again, my Pride themed fanfic is sad and ignored. WHY??? I give you Arjun and Shahrukh making out, isn’t that what everyone wants?). And then I just found this post hiding in the archives, so here is a late breaking addition.
Trailers! New Sanju, Gold, and Soorma
Ready for a bunch of inspirational stories? They were down, they were hopeless, it was all impossible, and then against the odds they rose up again!!!!!! I am going to be so sick of inspiration by Independence Day, hopefully I can still enjoy Gold.
Dog Hazel Was a BAD DOG This Weekend
Just wanted to do a fun post to cheer me up after being so mean and angry about the Dabangg show. And also, Dog Hazel was BAD and I will punish her through public shame. Like those mothers who put their kids’ shame photos on Facebook, except considerably less horrible.
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????
Happy Pride! FanFic Repost, Love Stories for Karan
This post makes me so happy! Because I just want good things for Karan and marriage would make him so happy, which makes me happy.
Annual Pride Celebration! Indian Film Slashfic
Happy Pride! I am celebrating by sleeping in and recovering from the concert last night. But I will still mark the occasion with the annual reposts!
Continue readingHappy Pride!!!!! A List of Viewing Suggestions
Happy Pride! Not a lot out there for representation of Queerness in Indian film, but I will highlight what I can. Oh, and Veere Di Wedding! Still in theaters, and the best relationship in the film is between Kareena’s gay uncles.
I’m About to Leave for Salman!!!!!
Woo! Just wanted a last updated before I took off.
