Happy Monday! It rained and rained and RAINED yesterday. My yard got nice and wet, and my new rain barrel got nice and full. Also, a tree went down and knocked into a neighbor’s house, but hey, it’s not my house! So that’s fine.
Continue readingUgh, I did not like this movie. I did not like it so much that I couldn’t sleep last night. So I am writing this review on very little sleep, therefore very grumpy, and hating it even more than my last review when I compared it to vomit. What a fun read this will be for all of you!
Continue readingI don’t even care about spoiling the SRK cameo. It’s the main reason most of you would want to watch it, and I wouldn’t be giving you necessary info without acknowledging that. But otherwise, a disgusting bowl of undercooked reheated greasy microwave pizza with phoney “masala” sauce that was eaten and then thrown up in a big brown pile with chunks on the sidewalk by a drunk hipster who was yelling at his girlfriend at 3am while you are trying to sleep. Did that description make you feel a little nauseated and unhappy? WELCOME TO MY WORLD! Midnight, I just got home, and I feel too sick to sleep.
Continue readingOkay, I actually read and paid attention to all your comments, your many MANY comments. And I have a starting point. Not saying I will NEVER review/watch Malaal or Never Have I Ever or Sita Raman or any of the other suggestions, but I want to start small and manageable.
Continue readingI have had a very busy few days, holiday weekend and then work recovery from holiday weekend, but now I am here again! And it’s already time to plan a watchalong! I can do any time Saturday, or Sunday morning this week. Anyone else free and interested?
Continue readingIt’s fall, I need tasks! Like, little homework assignments. And it’s exhausting assigning them to myself and giving myself deadlines and then feeling guilty when I let down myself. So you do it for me! Give me a movie to watch and review.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! We are watching this perfectly pleasant 90s movie that, somehow, is a beloved favorite of many of you. But, WHY??? I understand liking it, I like it myself, but a favorite? Oh well, I live to serve, so y’all get to have a nice watchalong with me.
Continue readingThis is a discussion that came up from the comments, we divided enemies-to-lovers romances into two categories and then couldn’t decide which was better.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Shelomit! And thank you for choosing something that’s not super super weird. While also, a little bit weird. Oh well, it’s your birthday pick, you get whatever you want.
Continue readingOkay, weekend watchalong! Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (American 3 day weekend, woot). And I don’t have to make any decisions, because it is Shelomit’s late birthday celebration weekend. Shelomit! You pick!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! My brain suddenly announced to my head “it’s FALL!” I am resisting the urge to put all my summer clothes in storage and take down my a/cs since Chicago is supposed to have hot weather for at least one more week.
Continue readingThis is gonna be a pretty short review, not a lot to talk about Deeply. But I know a lot of us have already watched the movie and I wanted a place for us to chat without ruining things for the others.
Continue readingWhat a nice movie! “Nice” as in if this movie were a person and you met that person at a party, you would say “what a nice person”. It’s just good hearted and kind and a little funny and eager to make friends.
Continue readingHappy Monday! It is overcast and rainy here, thank goodness we did all the “sunshine needed” lake chores yesterday. And now I just have to sit on the porch doing work-work for 9 hours.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I’m up at the lake house with my parents, watching my father obsess over if/when the weather is going to be nice enough for us to take the sailboat out for the year. Right now, it is pouring rain, so NO.
Continue readingThis is not reasonable, but every year I think of September 1 as the start of fall. It isn’t though! It’s just a continuation of summer! The calendar has no control over the seasons! And yet, I am ready for fall.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! I missed Wednesday Watching yesterday because I was so distracted by hating Ranbir, so I’m putting it up a day late.
Continue readingI was talking with my friend yesterday about how hating Ranbir makes us all so happy, and it made me think that I should repost something to sort of give background on how myself and our small community has for a while been seeing him as a little toxic.
Continue readingI listened to the most FASCINATING podcast, which is directly related to our blog topics which makes it even better. It’s about scam phone calls coming out of Bombay, hitting America targeting NRIs, and the money being processed by non-English speaking desperate recent NRIs driving around the American midwest. We know these people! Like, on film and also in real life!
Continue readingHappy Monday! The Rahman concert on Saturday was so so good, and also so so tiring so I am still recovering. Shouting along to “Chaiyya Chaiyya” with a thousand other people really takes it out of you, you know?
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELOMIT! I’m out of town this weekend, so I can’t do a watchalong in your honor, but that’s just a raincheck! You get to pick for the next watchalong.
Continue readingOkay, Spoiler time!!! I already put up the No Spoilers review if you just want a quick idea of what the film is like to decide if it is for you. Now, SPOILERS!
Continue readingI finally watched it! And I am NOT going to tell y’all to watch it. Just because it deals with spousal abuse for large parts of the film and it’s frankly hard to watch. But if that doesn’t bother you (or if you are okay fastforwarding), it also has a kick of two central performances.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! This week is going very fast for me, partly because we are shortstaffed at work (stupid summer vacations), and partly because I am working on the sewing project every free moment. Look, it’s Wednesday already!
Continue readingFilmiLibrarian has been watching movies like a FIEND, much more than I have lately. And they are all rom-coms, which made me want to revisit my posts about rom-coms.
