I’m still sick. Not super super sick, just not always spelling the worlds I mean to say correctly kind of sick. So, let’s not overburden Margaret’s brain! Let’s do a totally brainless post.
Continue readingThis is such a dumb dumb movie. But dumb in a particular way that I think a lot of you reading this might enjoy, so I keep encouraging you to watch it!
Continue readingOh wow I feel weird. I almost fainted at work and decided to come home. I was so far out of it that it took me a few hours to realize I was getting a super strange migraine. My head doesn’t hurt, but I keep seeing monsters in my room and the colors and shapes are all wrong looking and I’m walking into walls. Which, I understand, is sort what happens when you take intoxicating substances. Which I never do, because my migraines are so exciting, why should I look for excitement anywhere else?
Continue readingAn odd movie. Good on Mammootty for agreeing to be in it and doing such a good job. Good on the filmmakers for not pulling any punches with the reality of what they were showing while still being hopeful.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I’m back at work because I am a masochist who doesn’t believe in sick days! We’ll see how long I last.
Continue readingWhat a fun sick day challenge for me to make this post and for you all to successfully solve it!
Continue readingI get to go to bed in 2 hours, woo-hoo. But I had a nice productive sick day, lots of sitting on the couch and not getting dressed. And a few exciting incidents.
Continue readingThis is amazing! Ruth Wilson playing her own grandmother in the story of her grandfather who was both a scoundrel and a brilliant actor, probably where Ruth got it. Anyway, I have to share the story in case you don’t want to watch it and also because it is so fun to imaginary recast in India. And also my brain isn’t working because Sick, and recasting is easy. Also, SPOILERS! Avoid if you like limited BBC historical miniserieses midcentury true stories/Ruth Wilson
Continue readingI remember back when I was young, I would have a cold and just power through like it was nothing. And then I turned 30 and somehow a cold became a “I want to spend the day in bed” thing. Or the night, 4am and I am still awake feel achey and sad and burny.
Continue readingI like it when we can address and solve these complicated issues, just in case someone from the Indian film industry needs help with these questions and stumbles across DCIB.
Continue readingThis is “Celebrate Bisexuality Day”. So it seems a great time for a post about those songs that make you go “wait, does the hero/heroine have more chemistry with his friend or with the heroine/hero?”
Continue readingTrailers! Of varying interest to me, and to you as well. But we can still watch them all and talk about them.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I spent the weekend hiding from the rain and wishing I didn’t have to walk the dog.
Continue readingOh Abhay and Bobby! So cute, so charming, so heartthrob-y. And then, suddenly, not. Time is a cruel master.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! There were still moments that could have been better, the ending dragged, etc. etc., but overall it is still a very good film. I can whole-heartedly recommend it.
Continue readingYou ready for a silly lazy idea? I’m gonna take a bunch of songs out of context and invent the movies they should belong in, because they don’t quite work in the movies they are in. Feel free to jump in with more ideas in the comments!
Continue readingDon’t worry about spoiling yourself. It’s a rom-com, it’s only gonna end one way. It’s not about the surprises, it’s about enjoying the journey. Read this review, don’t read it, I don’t care.
Continue readingHappy movie! Don’t watch if you don’t like rom-coms. Do like if you do watch rom-coms. Follow those simple rules, and the world will keep spinning.
Continue readingThey are an okay onscreen couple, although I still find them more like brother and sister than a romantic couple. However, they are really well-matched in songs! Both with moderate dancing ability but a lot of hard work and energy onscreen.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I had a wonderful party last night, 6 friends came over, 14 samosas were eaten, and one bowl of popcorn. And I stayed up way way too late and am sleeping in today.
Continue readingWhat a happy movie! What a fun happy movie! I had forgotten how good it was until I rewatched it, and it is really really good. One of those movies that had modest ambitions and accomplished them.
Continue readingA repost, but a fun one! Anyway, we all love rom-coms, right?
Continue readingRugby! It’s like football, but less safe! And, the uniforms have less padding so show off more of your body.
Continue readingWhen I am writing a review, I often branch off into Deep Thoughts inspired by the topic of the film. They are related to the film and belong in the review, but they are also above and beyond the film. Since my last two reviews have gotten soooooooooooo few views (Uyare and Nenu Naa Rakshisi), and I put a lot of work into those big thinky parts of them, I decided to do something a little different and pull out those sections from the reviews and give a new post to discuss just them. Oh, and also the section of my Rockstar review which was similarly abstract.
Continue readingA mixed bag of movies for next week! A Malayalam film I haven’t seen and will probably admire, a Telugu film I have seen and greatly enjoyed which is now on Prime and you should check it out, my least favorite film of all time, and a movie I enjoyed more than expected which also just hit streaming.
