This is a repost, but it’s a really good post! And it’s from a while back, so maybe you all don’t remember it.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Go to An Interment!
Remember I said yesterday I was leaving town but it was for a good reason? I get to go to a gravesite service with my Mom and my Uncle and the minister in a snowstorm at a cemetery by the side of the Mississippi river. Like we’re in a graphic novel or something.
Continue readingDCIB Community Anti-Isolation Plan! We are gonna totally hang out online!
I’m going out of town this weekend, weird timing I know but it’s a family thing that is worth doing no matter what. But starting next week, all home all the time and I am going to be going INSANE! As are many of you. So, I have a plan! Which will be constantly evolving as I think of other things, and as you suggest brilliant ideas. Really, suggest on this post, I’m open to anything. Heck, if we can figure out group video calling, I’m down for that.
Continue readingTGIF: Most Distracting Possible Topic! Bulge Pictures
I am pulling the “only open in case of emergency stress levels” cord! Yes, I am doing a TGIF which will allow us all to study famous men’s pants in a certain way. Luckily, many of us are currently working from home, so I don’t even have to give a NSFW warning!
Continue readingBad Girls Month: The Great Gambler! It’s All About Zeenat
I watched it! Thanks to the very few of you in the comments who encouraged me to see it. It’s quite fun, not necessarily good, but fun!
Continue readingDeep Thinking and Analysis Post! Comparative Heights of All Male Actors
This is one of those things I’ve always thought “someday when I have time, and enough collaborators, I can crack this”. And now might be the time! Ready to be productive instead of bored????
Continue readingLet’s Recommend Isolation Viewing To Each Other! For Women, For Children, and For Others!
You know what DCIB is FABULOUS at during a time of isolation? First, bring you a steady stream of light weight discussion posts to ready while you are pretending to be working. But second, recommending viewing choices to each other!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Hero’s Friend/Brother/Co-Worker Do We Find Sexier Than the Hero?
How are these discussion posts getting more traffic than anything else I have put up in weeks???? Is it possible we are all terribly shallow? Naaaaaaah, surely not!
Continue readingWork At Home Update, I Have Entered Into a Time Warp That Makes Me 12 Years Old Again
You can ignore this post, this is mostly me shouting into the void because I am so bored and lonely.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Villain Do We Find Sexier Than the Hero?
No fair saying “all of them”! You gotta be more specific than that. Also, I have to say I am loving these random discussion posts. As the various ones of us are stuck in house arrest (although actually I am free to do anything I want except go to my office, both legally and common sensically), it’s nice that we all kind bond with totally ludicrous discussion topics.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Thinking and Watching and Listening to This Week?
Happy Wednesday! This comes to you from home, where I am stuck indefinitely, but I have a plan and I think I can make this work out!
Continue readingBad Girls Month: Why Bad Girls Are Sexy, and Item Songs are Good
Well, my Bad Girls posts have so far gotten very little traffic. Let’s see if I can sprinkle some sex on top and get some eyeballs turning my way!
Continue readingSexy Tuesday Discussion Post: Who Do We Find Illogically Sexy?
Okay, a post where I am NOT including Sid Malhotra. Or anyone like him. No youthful regular featured folks here! Let your freak flag fly.
Continue readingI’m Working From Home and I HATE It!!!!
I’m working from home because….no reason actually? I’ll explain in greater detail below if you are curious, just heads up my life has changed and I am going to be grumpy about it and that grumpiness is going to affect allllllllllllllll my posts.
Continue readingBad Girls Month: Miss Frontier Mail! Watch Good-Bad Girl Fearless Nadia versus Bad-Bad Girl Gulshan
What a ridiculous fun movie! Once you start watching it double time which really REALLY feels like regular time, like the funky old-fashioned filming put it at the wrong speed.
Continue readingImportant Update! Filmikudhi Has a Puppy!!!!!
And she sent photos! I am assuming the entire DCIB community has opinions. Also, Filmikudhi, if the puppy is currently nameless, we can help with that.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Not Very Talented Actor Do We Irrationally Like?
I already did “not very famous”, but this is something slightly different. These people may or may not be famous, and they have no talent, but we like them anyway. Why???
Continue readingHindi Film Bad Girls Through Time, Decade by Decade
Woot, superficial history post! The best kind of history post, why bother digging into complexities when I can just make broad generalizations and simple categories?
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Day After International Women’s Day?
Happy Monday! Big news, I am trying to go caffeine free. After my New York weekend I kind of overdosed and got all weird and jittery. So no more! I will just be mildly sleepy all the time instead.
Continue readingHappy International Women’s Day! Another International Woman, Helen!
I wrote this as part of my series on Salman Khan, but I’m gonna rewrite and refocus it a bit to give Helen the spotlight she deserves.
Continue readingHappy Bad Girls Month/International Women’s Day! Fearless Nadia Was the Baddest of the Bad, and the Most International of Them All, and Here’s Why
I love Fearless Nadia. She is my dream Halloween costume. And I could pull it off too! We look the same, same kind of build and blonde hair and blue eyes. I just have to put on a sari and carry a whip. But then everyone would think I am culturally appropriating and give me a hard time so I can’t. The world is hard.
Continue readingBad Girls Month: Bareilly Ki Barfi! Kriti as an Unhappy Bad Girl
Such an interesting heroine in this movie! She is “bad”, but she doesn’t want to be. She wishes she was less outspoken, less strange, and could find someone who loves her.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Love Triangles! Pick Your Ending for These Romantic Tripods I Have Built! Shahrukh-Juhi-Aamir, Deepika-Ranveer-Anushka, ARK-Parineeti-Sid M
Still watching Hart of Dixie which does really good love triangles, and it has inspired me to try and see what I can come up with as potential Indian film triangles. Not easy ones where it’s a choice between love and duty, but ones where there are two viable “love” options.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Not Very Famous Actor Do We Irrationally LIKE?
I did the “mean” version of this a couple of days ago and it was wildly successful, let’s see if the “nice” version can be equally popular.

Well, this was a perfectly pleasant little love story! Nothing revolutionary, but sometimes you don’t need revolutionary. And Rajkumar Rao finally gets his big dance number!
