Sunday WatchAlong: 7am Chicago Time, SRK Rom-Com TBD!!!!
Yes, we are doing a Sunday 7am WatchAlong! And we are watching whatever rom-com wins the rom-com brackets! Currently, by the way, it is a 4 way tie between RNBDJ, Paheli, K3G, and DDLJ. But I am sure a winner will rise to the top soon.
Continue readingPunch Sex Marry SRK Characters! First Post!
Okay, what makes this a challenge is that you HAVE to pick between the 3 I have defined, and you HAVE to limit yourself to one option for each character. And, special DCIB twist on the game, if you pick “marry” you never get to sex. Does that make sense? Either companionship and no physical affection, or physical affection for ONE NIGHT ONLY and nothing else. Oh, and ditto for the “punch” obviously. You can tell him why you are punching him, but then you punch him and walk away.

Okay, this will either get harder or easier! I guess it depends on how passionate folks are about their wild cards.

Okay, after setting up the heroine brackets to avoid controversy, I’m just gonna lean into it with these! Only the hits, I expect brutal arguments.
Continue readingShahrukh Month Heroine Brackets Finale! Juhi-Kajol, We All Knew It Would End Here
The thing about this finale is, I can’t imagine there are many “undecided” voters. Based on my knowledge of the DCIB community, you are ride or die for one or the other.
Continue readingShahrukh Month: Heroine Brackets Second to Last Round!
Honestly, I could have set up these brackets to begin with, we all knew where it was going to end. But wasn’t the journey enjoyable?
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the Second Week of Shahrukh Month???
Happy Wednesday! It is supposed to rain all day today, which I am going to take as a sign that I should stay home and do nothing productive. Perhaps write a new Ra.One review!
Continue readingWe Interrupt Shahrukh Month for a Brief Angela Lansbury Tribute: Let’s Talk About How Amazing Murder She Wrote Is!!!!
Woot, Angela Lansbury! Who I have loved since I was a small child and saw The Court Jester in which her comic timing was ON POINT. And then I had a 30 year interval of not caring about her, and then discovered Murder She Wrote. Anyway, now she’s dead, which is sad but not that sad because she was 96. And it’s happy because suddenly everyone is talking about how awesome she is!
Continue readingShahrukh Month: SRK Co-Stars Brackets Round 2!
Woot! Round 2! I’m excited! Now that we have gotten rid of the less popular options, this should be a real challenge. Or not, because I am cowardly avoiding putting the most popular head to head. We’ll do that next round!
Continue readingShahrukh Month Re-Reviews: Pick Movies for Me to Re-Review!!!! And Yes, I am Willing to Try Zero Again
Shahrukh Month continues! And my nostalgia is growing. Oh SRK! I love you so and you make me so happy at all times. I should think more about your movies and all that you have given us. So, pick a movie for me to re-review!
Continue readingBhool Bhulaiya 2 Review: A Clever Good Time Ride, with Excellent Red Chillies Double Role VFX!
That was a very pleasant movie experience. I wish I’d watched it in a group, or even better in the theater. It was definitely set up for group laughter and enjoyment. Still fun on my own, but less fun. Anyway, I recommend it if you are looking for a light harmless silly comedy! And want to appreciate Shahrukh’s VFX team, as I am sure we all do.
Continue readingShahrukh Month: SRK Co-Stars Post! Bracket Time Again!
Woot, I have an excuse to look up awesome images again/some more! I’m not gonna try to do every co-star ever, just the best ones. But I’m also throwing in a Wild Card for any awesome jodi I may have forgotten.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: Happy Shahrukh Month Week 2!
Happy Monday! I went to bed super early last night (sooooooooooo tired, very long weekend) and woke up super early today which is nice. I was able to make bread and reply to all your comments and have coffee before I even had to start work.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Dhanak! For SRK! 7am Chicago Time!
My goodness, yesterday was exhaaaaaauuuuusting. 8 hours cold physical labor interspersed with cold standing around and talking to relatives. Which is why I went to bed almost immediately after getting home and walking the dog (at 8pm! Which is exactly 12 hours after I walked the dog right before leaving home) and now am all bright and chipper early in the morning. And only slightly guilty for falling behind in my review schedule.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away About SRK!
Happy Saturday! Today is the day we close up the lake house, which is always cold and sad and exhausting. So I’m gonna do that, and then come home and watch Bhool Bhulaiya 2 and review it as a nice relaxing evening.
Continue readingShahrukh Month: Photo Brackets Finale!!!!
Thank goodness I have this post ready to go, because I am trying to cut down on coffee today and everything is HORRIBLE. I was wide awake folding laundry at 1am last night, and now I have to get through today without coffee so I’m not awake at 1am again. booooooo.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 7am Chicago Time! Dhanak! Cute Children and SRK Worship!
Yaaaaaaay, one of my favorite movies!!! And I get to share it with you! And then have the whole rest of the day because it’s not that long and we are starting early!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Dhanak at 7am Chicago Time Sunday for Shahrukh Month! Unless No One Can Make It!
This weekend is super busy for me, but in a good way. Saturday is the annual “close up the lake house” day, which is a fun day outside in the crisp weather. And Sunday my friends and I made a date to go to the zoo and see the Halloween decorations and the new baby lion (so cute!). So the only time I have for a watchalong, is pre-Zoo on Sunday morning. And just a shorter film. Thus, Dhanak!

Woot! Time to pick the best two shirtless photos! Well, according to the DCIB democracy.

Happy first Shahrukh Wednesday!!!! I am celebrating by getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Which I am afraid to admit because now Miss Braganza is gonna go off on some New Orleans rant about the evils of flavored coffee, but whatevs, most people love PSL!
Continue readingShahrukh Month: Shirtless Brackets Round 2!!!
Thank goodness, after ignoring him all day, I got some votes in the evening so we can move on to round 2!

Thank goodness for Shahrukh Month! I have 5 long work calls scheduled today, and I still have mice, and everything is very confusing and difficult in general. But SRK is here for me.
