Jaya is turning 70! She gets her birthday post tomorrow, and maybe some special reviews this week (depends on how busy I am). And today, she gets a re-post of the stories I wrote for her last year. Jaya! Come back to work and make these movies!
Sorry, not many posts today, I’ve got family in town and I spent the day looking at dogs. So to keep you entertained, I am putting up a discussion post. And also because I am TERRIBLE at naming things.
I’m back! At long last! The last section kind of broke the pattern, turned into a long deep character study of Amrish Puri, so I needed a little break.
What an odd holiday! But kind of a fun one to find songs for, right? Ideally they would all be beer songs, but I don’t know if that is possible.
Well, this is a ridiculous post. Inspired by my finding a photo of the most evil puppy I have ever seen. Clearly a super villain in training.
I thought about doing something for Salman and his court case, but I wasn’t in the mood to write about any movie with him, and besides that seems like kind of a downer. So instead, Prabhu’s birthday celebration! And a movie which is very good at the very specific thing it does.
Why even watch? The whole point is the dog! Really, this is just the same as what is on this post, but in video form so I can get readers to click over from youtube (hopefully). You can skip it, since there is no dog to see. Although you can see my DVD shelf behind me, that’s fun.
Well, this is news. Or maybe not. Salman has been sentenced to jail a lot, and then somehow it ends up not happening, so I just don’t know.
I cheated you out of a real FanFic post on Sunday with just the one short thing, an I’m in the mood now, so I thought I would dash off some ideas for you to help me flush out. The idea this week is April Fools, harmless practical jokes that lead to complications.
Box office! A day late because I got distracted by the John Abraham story yesterday. (figures, as always, courtesy of bollywoodhungama)
Happy Wednesday! Halfway through the work week, very exciting. Also the last day I get to have coffee (following my own rules that allow coffee on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday but no more because then I stop sleeping). So, enjoy “perky Margaret” today and prepare yourself for “depressed and energyless Margaret” tomorrow.
What a fun recommendation! Thank you Moimeme! An unassuming movie that is great on many levels.
I’m so excited! I love contract dispute news! It’s almost as much fun as box office number analysis. So, indulge me, while I dig in.
Woo-hoo! Prabhudeva’s birthday! 45 reasons to love him, and an excuse to post A LOT of Prabhudeva songs! And maybe a few facts scattered in. But not many. (I know you may not have time to watch all the videos I put in this posts, but some of these are truly not to be missed, so the ones in bold you MUST WATCH!!!)
Last year they got a big post doing their whole romance in film songs (you can read it here). But that was for their 40th, which is a big deal. This is just their 41st. So this year I think I will just talk about their actual wedding.
Happy Monday! And Happy 41 Years of Marriage to my parents! Last year was a big deal, but now it is just kind of “whatever” until they hit 50.
I debated a long time over how to celebrate this holiday, because I don’t like playing tricks on people, I think it is mean. But movie characters aren’t as nice as me, so I will celebrate by putting up a bunch of songs in which the movie people play tricks.
I watched it! While cleaning my entire apartment today. And it was a very interesting experience to watch, I think the directors might have been doing something really clever with how they presented the series. At least, I hope so. They were either being really clever or really really stupid. (for more Osho coverage, here is my article on their India years)
Happy EASTER!!!!! Not many posts today or yesterday, because I have been very busy doing Easter stuff. So I thought I would report on that to you, in my usual song-filled way.
Happy Easter! Not a very long new fanfic this week, I put up my epic Amar Akbar Anthony Easter post from last year to make up.
Happy Easter! I spent yesterday doing deep cleaning of my apartment, my favorite way to celebrate Easter, which means I have one short new fanfic going up later but the big post is going to be a rerun. But a fun and holiday appropriate one! Amar Akbar Anthony remake!
I’m awake, I’ve had a bagel for breakfast, I am ready to come back to this movie with spoilers. I already put up a “no spoilers” review, you can read that if you want to go in really fresh, there are two big twists you might not want to miss out on. However, the majority of the film is just action sequences you could predict from the trailer, so it may not be worth avoiding spoilers.
So tired, so late, and yet I am staying up just a little bit longer so I can bring you my first review. And therefore be able to sleep a little later tomorrow morning, comfortably aware that I already have a new post up.
Did you think I put up my traditional Good Friday “Hot Jesus” post and forgot my Jewish readers and Passover, on the very same day? I would NEVER!!!! And so a second TGIF post, based on the Ma Nishtana, the 4 questions part of the Haggadah, the instructions on how to properly celebrate Passover.
Happy Good Friday! Posting this super early this week, because I know a lot of offices are closing early for the holiday. And I also now that at least some of you are dealing with holiday stress and could really really use the distracting. And so, welcome to my second annual Jesus themed TGIF post. Designed to make you declare “Yes indeed, he is RISEN!!!!”
