Happy Saturday! We get to go to doggie training class, and I will do laundry, and other fun stuff. And also, wait to see if my eye unswells itself.
Continue readingLuv Ranjan is such a FASCINATING artist!!!! I can’t think of anyone else who brings together such different sensibilities within one artist. And, in this case, within one movie! He didn’t direct, but he produced and wrote the script, and it is pretty clearly more of a Luv Ranjan movie than anything else. Really interesting, a film that is both a fun light sexy situational comedy, and also a drama about being a woman and being a man and being a family.
Continue readingBecause Shahrukh’s newest longform interview was in America, and tickets were open to the public, there were a few DCIBers who were actually able to attend! I asked them for their stories of what it was like, without any details of the actual interview (because I want to be surprised and I am selfish that way). Oh, and no SPOILERS in the comments please either, even rumors. I’ll delete them if I see them, so other people like me who want to go in fresh can stay uncontaminated.
Continue readingMy friend who is in library school has hit an academic stumbling block, so to encourage her I thought I should do a theme post. Sexy Librarians!
Continue readingI really want to do a “red carpet looks” post, but I’m not the best place for it. Especially in a “hot off the presses” kind of way. I don’t have a subscription to a photo service, so I am just stealing images from other sites in a very haphazard way, which means it’s best if I wait until things have settled down a bit before I try it. But I can at least give a starting point for what Cannes is, behind the glitz and glamour. Be warned, this is a very cynical and practical post, so it may not be much fun.
Continue readingAnother Bharat song! Is this the last one? I think it’s the last one. Or maybe not? We’ve still got 3 weeks left, what else are they going to do if there are no more songs? Oh, and there is a super super cute news story going around about the Khans that just makes me happy and I want it to be true.
Continue readingI really love this movie. It was one of the early films I saw, one of the first movies I watched where I was told “this is an actual good movie”. And it is! It is an actual good movie! Not just a fun romance with something deep down below, but deep straight through.
Continue readingOh boy, time for my monthly pitiful beg for referrals! Which is not fun for me at all, and is probably not fun for you either. Oh well, we all have to take our medicine.
Continue readingI don’t usually let myself complain, but it’s pouring rain, my summer schedule is looking like the things I want to do won’t be possible because of other stuff that is happening that I am less excited about, and I have a big irritating expense that appeared suddenly out of nowhere. Also I just got an email asking me to sub in for Sunday school this week and I REALLY REALLY don’t want to. So I am going to complain about a thing that I think we all have strong feelings about-SUBTITLES!
Continue readingThis is a suggestion from Procrastinatrix, and I think it is a fun one! Especially if we get really really specific about the situation, not just a general “what would you ask Shahrukh?” topic.
Continue readingYes, it is that time again, when I have completely run out of ideas. Coincidentally on the same day as the monthly “please promote me” request. So I am being all kinds of needy today!
Continue readingOh boy, it’s my monthly reminder about donations!!!! What fun for you all! Oh well, I’ve got a few new readers (or at least new commentators), maybe they haven’t seen this before.
Continue readingI’m so excited to watch this movie! I missed it in theaters, and now here it is already on Hotstar, yaaaay!
Continue readingHave you been thinking “boy, Margaret gives high quality original analysis, but what I really want are cute dog photos”? If so, this post is the answer to your prayers!
Continue readingI absolutely love this movie and I can’t believe it isn’t talked about more. There’s like 5 classic Madhuri dance numbers, Naseeruddin Shah plays a double role, and Aruna Irani is a witch. How is this not the most popular Madhuri movie ever????
Continue readingThis was such a fun post! A couple months back, I went through and looked at all the food holidays for the month, and then represented them through Madhuri and Shahrukh.
Continue readingI am always frustrated with Cafepress because they don’t have the stuff I want (like, clever Bahubali fan wear). And then I clicked a link and they suggested I just make my own stuff and sell it. So, huh! Let’s try that!
Continue readingLast year I did every single review I have ever written. This year, I am picking and choosing, only the undiscovered gems of her filmography. So, no Devdas and no Dil To Pagal Hai, just the weird unsuccessful ones. Starting with her failed come back movie!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday/Madhuri Day!!!! I am almost through my weird busy week. Worked remotely on Monday, worked on no sleep after a delayed late flight yesterday, work normal today, then go see a co-worker in a show tomorrow night (Othello, it’s like Omkara but without the songs. So, completely depressing), and then Friday is De De Pyaar De (unless Dina talks me into seeing SOTY2 again so she can watch it).
Continue readingI don’t mean like “because the good angels blessed him at birth”, I mean “what are the mannerisms, appearances, etc. that make him sexy”. I have my own personal theory, I am sure many of you have yours.
Continue readingAnonymous just mentioned in a comment that Karan should hire the same PR professionals that Shahrukh is using, and that got me thinking about what I would do, were I to be hired by Karan.
Continue readingAw, Doris Day died. I watched so many of her movies, and listened to so many of her songs when I was young. She is Hollywood, not Indian, but I feel like in many ways in spirit she was part of Indian films.
Continue readingThis should be a fun week. All Hindi, which makes me feel a little guilty, but then it’s Madhuri day. She has earned her own day even if it means the southern industries get a little shortchanged.
Continue readingNothing super duper interesting here, just stories that are continuations of other stories, or else rumors of things that won’t happen. But it’s Monday, we need things to talk about!
Continue readingFirst time I have tried this, the cheap plane tickets meant my flight isn’t until this evening, so it just kind of makes sense to work from her house. But I don’t know, working from somewhere else? Trying to focus on work stuff like family is right there? It all seems difficult.
