I watched this whoooooooooooooooooooooooole movie, and the biggest question I came out with was, is it that Prabhas can’t find pants that fit him? Or does he not WANT pants that fit him?
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: A Cozy Evening Chat After My Very Lazy Day
Happy Saturday! I had a lazy morning, got delivery coffee, walked the dog, took a nap, then went and got a massage (including an Indian style head massage!), then picked up groceries, came home, walked the dog, did a puzzle, took another nap, walked the dog again, showered, and now here I am, all warm and cozy, and ready to finally write my Saturday post!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Tum Mere Ho! 3pm Chicago Time! For Aamir Week
This is, inarguably, the best bad movie Aamir was ever in. So I think we should appreciate it especially on this, Aamir week. Also, it was the only movie I could find that was short enough I could squeeze it in before going to see Radha Shyam.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Scheduling is Impossible! We Are Doing Tum Mere Ho Again Just Because of Length. And Snakes. 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow!
I’m trying to see Radhe Shyam on Friday, and the showtimes are NOT working with watchalong. And we can’t do Saturday because Filmikudhi has a baby and Genevieve has a concussion. So I have retreated to the shortest Aamir movie I can think of, which is also excellently entertaining.
Continue readingShahrukh Spring: Penultimate Round!
Yes! We are so close to the final battle! And once again, I had to add in a wild card to make it balance. Why are numbers so difficult?
Continue readingFriday/Saturday WatchAlong: For Aamir!!!! Mann, Lagaan, or Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na?
I know I know, everyone wants to do Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ke. Which has, irrationally, made me NOT want to pick it. This is the same reason I never sew with a thimble. Because my mother tells me to sew with a thimble. Anyway, there are other Aamir Options!

Happy Wednesday! My sister just sent me an add from her local restaurant, it’s National Meatball Day! How exciting.

Oh dear, I almost forgot to go back to this! The Shahrukh King Character would have been left uncrowned!

I think I am the only one who read this? No Matter!!! Next DCIB book club is going to be Bridgerton 2, and I will refuse to re-read that one, so we will be even.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Anupam Kher’s Birthday?
Happy Monday! Or, you know, “continuing to struggle” Monday. Sorry, I’m cutting down on my screentime so I am being less blog-active than I should be. But on the other hand, Albie Dog and I walked 6 miles and found a whole new park, and I finished a puzzle!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away, as I Finally Remember to Post!
Happy Saturday! I had a lovely slow morning, then went over to the recycling place, then came home and started a sewing project, then left and went to a chiropractor, then came home and walked the dog again, and then got a message from the Upstairs People asking what we were doing for dinner, and then ordered dinner with them, and then went “whoops, I forgot to post!”
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Chippendales Film! On YouTube! Because We Have Trash Taste! Starting at 3pm Chicago Time
It’s grey and getting colder outside, but inside things are HEATING UP. We are watching the Chippendales movie!
Continue readingGangubai Review (SPOILERS): Let’s Watch Alia Swear a Lot!
Welp, time for the spoilers review! Which won’t give you a heck of a lot more than the no spoilers review, because there isn’t really much of a beginning or an end to this story, it all is just sort of a goes along without a point.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: 3pm Chicago Time Tomorrow! Chippendales Movie on Youtube! We Will Watch it Twice in a Row, as Needed!!!!
Yes! Doing it! We are watching the Chippendales original movie at 3pm today! And then, if anyone wants to, we will watch it again at 4:10! I’m excited about this. A lost moment of American history, from which we will all Learn and Grow.
Continue readingGangubai Review (No Spoilers): Interesting Vignettes, No Plot
I did it! I saw a new movie, in theaters, with friends! And it was a Bhansali movie too, the WORST kind of movie.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: 3pm Chicago Time! We Are Going to Watch Something VERY SILLY!!!
Okay, I have been fantasizing about doing this, and I’m having a really hard time with seasonal affective disorder this week, so we are just DOING it!!!!
Continue readingNew SRK Trailer! And in Other News, I Don’t Think He is Running His Twitter Any More, Boo
Woot, teaser trailer and release date announcement! As I suspected, YRF was trying to avoid a Brahmastra and didn’t want to announce ANYTHING until they successfully managed to finish filming during pandemic, and were able to pick a safe theatrical release date. Better to wait and then announce one time, for sure and certain, then go to early and have to keep changing it.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Do You Want to Ask Me on NEW SRK TRAILER Day?
Happy Wednesday! And Happy Official Film Announcement Day!!! I will put up a separate post just for that, for now this is the usual “talk about everything” Wednesday post.

Yes! TWIST! I am COMBINING BRACKETS! You can vote however you want, performance or sexiness or unusual character, but it’s all gonna be mixy-matchy now.

Okay, let’s do this thing! What do we watch this weekend? And when? Friday or Saturday?

I took an hour off work and it may not have been enough time.

A 3 Year Retrospective of Albie Dog! Just In Case It Was Something You Needed
This was a lowkey adopt-a-versary this year, just the two of us, he got an extra long walk and a cookie from my parents and a present that I ordered last minute because I almost forgot. But the People of DCIB requested an Albie photo post in honor of his Special Day, so here you are!
Continue readingShahrukh Spring Brackets: Villains! Round 2!
Oh boy! Villains! Far fewer than the hero rounds, although not as much fewer as you would think. He played a villain a lot! And there is one tie, again.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on Albie’s Adopt-A-Versary!!!
Happy Monday! And happy Adopt-A-Versary to Albie Dog! I’ve had him 3 years now, which is why he is so calm and wise and mature (not really).
