Yaaaaaay, watchalong! If you missed part 1 last week, you can still watch part 2. You will just end up wanting to go back and watch later because they are such good movies.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Ponniyin Selvan 2? Bharat for Kat? Fashion for Priyanka?
Last Sunday was so fun! I wanna do it again! But only if it is convenient for folks and we pick a movie everyone wants to see, not otherwise.
Continue readingNew Rocky Aur Rani Song! “What Jhumka”, and a Glimpse of the Character Chemistry
As always, I am behind on things and it was up to you my lovely readers to even tell me this was happening. But I’m caught up now! I watched it!
Continue readingThinky Post: India and Hitler and Bawaal
I am so happy to write this post. I’ve come close to it before but never really managed to have the kind of discussion I want to have. But I think now is the time! We have the right mix of people on the blog, and a good starting point.
Continue readingJawan Teaser! A Dark and Strange and Twisted SRK, an Atlee SRK!
Wooo! This looks GOOD! Not just good because I like SRK, but good because it promises a different dark complex kind of plot, one you can’t possibly figure out just from the teaser. But I’m still gonna try!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Ponniyin Selvan 1! 7am Chicago Time on Prime!
Happy Sunday! I am so excited to watch this with you, I’m even willing to wake up super early.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: PS-1! At 7am Chicago Time!!! So We Can All be Quiet and FOCUS
This would normally be a terrible choice for a watchalong because you really have to focus. But I’ve seen it 3 times now, and I’ve read most of the book it’s based on, so I THINK, I can keep up the footnote comments and tell you what you missed and all of that.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Who’s In???? And Should We Watch Bholaa, or Fidaa, or Doosara Aadmi?
Happy Thursday! I’m staying on the WatchAlong train! I just enjoy hanging out with y’all so much. And this week, I offer you a great variety of viewing options!

Happy 4th of July!!!! To celebrate, we have TWO Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani trailers! And some clue as to the plot.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Day Before the 4th of July???
Happy Monday! What a weird way to phrase that, “the day before the 4th of July”. Only makes sense in the context of “the 4th of July” being the name of a holiday. We (Americans) really should think about changing to “Independence Day” or something so it’s less confusing.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: 8am, Jeans! On Netflix!!!!
Happy Saturday!!! This is a last minute WatchAlong, so I’m not sure if anyone can join. I will give it 15 minutes and then give up. But if you can join, this is a delightful insane 90s twins romantic comedy and you will like it!
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: Saturday Morning, 8am Chicago Time, Jeans! On Netflix! With Aish!
Oh boy oh boy! A ridiculous 90s movie! The best kind of movie! Plus, this one has Rahman music and young Aish when she was ridiculously beautiful and a really really crazy plot that involves a lot of twins.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: It’s America’s Birthday!!!! Kal Ho Na Ho? Jeans? Fidaa? Something Else American-y?
Happy Thursday! I want to do another watchalong on Saturday or Sunday! You know I love my watchalongs, and last week was soooooooooooo fun.
Continue readingMonday/Wednesday Post on Thursday! I’ve Been Playing with Nephew A and Nephew B!
Happy Thursday! I am still hanging with the nephews, but I’m also working today, which means I am chained to my laptop sitting on the couch. So I can write blog posts!
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: Jaanwar! Starting 8am Chicago time!
Woot! Watchalong! Ive got my coffee, my dog, Im ready to go!
Continue readingDCIB Discussion Post: Pizza Questions! Because I Always Want Pizza on Fridays
Happy Friday! When I was a kid, we would get pizza and a movie on Friday nights (because Mom had her group thing so Dad was in charge of us. WILD REVELS!!!). So now I am thinking about pizza. And I feel there are MANY questions we all can/should discuss.
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: 8am Chicago Time! Jaanwar!!!!
Woot, watchalong! And woot, 90s movie!!! I do love 90s movies, and this is such a very VERY 90s one.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to on the Longest Day of the Year?
Happy Midsommar! Or midwinter in Australia? Is it the shortest day there the same time it’s the longest day here?
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: Please Say You Are Available! I Miss You!!!
It’s been soooooooooooo looooooooooooong since we did a watchalong!!! I miss you all and I want to do one, we are very very overdue. This weekend I could only do Saturday morning, anyone available?
Continue readingRocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani Teaser!!!!
This teaser is RIDICULOUS. It promises so much, can it actually deliver?
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Week the Gal Godot-Alia Bhatt Trailer Came Out?
Happy Monday! One week from today, my nephews will be visiting! We are gonna be at the lake house, and my Mom is focused on Locks. Nephew A is almost 4 and fearless in the “if I feel like riding my toy car down the street at 3am and the door is unlocked, I will” kind of way. My thought was, I just put my bedroll down outside the exit of his bedroom, Problem Solved. Also, leashes. It works with Albie Dog.
Continue readingThe Archies First Look: Who Used to Read the Comics? Who Likes the trailer? Who Blindly Trusts Anything Zoya Akhtar Makes to Be Good?
Thank you Kirre for the heads up on the Archies trailer!!!! A lovely think to think about on a lovely Sunday morning.
Continue readingThe Good Wife/The Trial: Why Does This Story Not Translate? What is Missing?
Thank you Naina for alerting me to this trailer! I find it fascinating. Not in isolation, but in comparison with the source material.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to on Kirron Kher’s Birthday?
Happy Wednesday!!! It’s Kirron Kher’s birthday today, and I am celebrating by hiding out at the lake house having a lazy lonely day. Still working all day, but it feels lazier at the lake house.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me as I Decompress After a Busy Week?
Happy Monday! Last week my cousin visited, I celebrated my birthday, and I hosted a party. This week, I am going to run away and go to the lake house for two days. I still have to work, and it’s supposed to be cold and rainy, but I am very excited about being far away from everything with nothing to do.
