Sinus Infection Discussion Post: What Movie is Best For Making You Cry?
I’m dealing with a brutal sinus infection. So bad I thought it might be strep, but today it moved into my nose so I know it isn’t. Anyway, in addition to treating it with accupuncture and Eucalyptus essential oils and so on, I’m thinking I need a good flushing things out cry. What movies should I watch for that?

Happy Wednesday! And also, happy first full sunny day since I have been in CA!!!! It actually feels like a vacation, and this afternoon we might go to a beach!
Continue readingThe Romantics Review/Discussion Post! Confirmation of Everything We Have Ever Thought/Felt About Hindi Film
This is an excellently made documentary. Just, very very solid. Tells a cohesive story entirely through multiple interviews stitched together, and cohesive mini-stories within each of the 4 episodes. It’s the kind of thing that used to be an Event and my family would sit down and watch it every week on PBS. Intelligent, clear, informative, and fully fully factchecked and researched.

Continue readingDDLJ Analysis Announcement: You Give Me the Pictures, I’ll Finish It!
Just got another comment asking when I was gonna finish that. And really, the hardest part is getting the dang images. I start with about 1 image for every 5 seconds of film time, then cull it down to the best ones to talk about and do the analysis. But pulling and saving and storing 1 image for 5 seconds of film time is really really tedious and time consuming! The analysis is a piece of cake in comparison.

Ready to laugh? You know how my entire house is falling apart in a series of escalating disasters? I also just got an email from the city about a $100 unpaid ticket from 5 years ago. I am 99% sure I paid it, but how the heck am I gonna prove that? UGH!!! It’s time to watch JHMS.

Oh boy! Get ready to see a lot of sparkles, scarves, and long shirts! We will do this category, and then another category for “offscreen casual” and a final category for “western formal on/off”. And possibly a 4th category that’s just “sweaters”? What do you think?

This is one of those “if no one shows up after 15 minutes…” weeks. I always get nervous when I change the time around! Oh, and also Fan is kind of a hard watch, so that makes me nervous too.
