Saturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hide From the Cold!!!
Happy Saturday!!!! It is very cold here. Well, not VERY cold, it is fairly cold here. Cold enough that my usual Saturday routine of a very long dog walk and running over to the recycling center is not so appealing. So instead, I will stay by my space heater and do taxes!
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: I Hate Luv Storys! 8am Chicago Time!
Woot! Happy Saturday! It’s snowy and cold and I did a massive grocery shop yesterday so I never have to go out again. Until I run out of cream. I forgot to buy cream. Anyway, let’s watch a silly movie!
Continue reading2021 Awards Winners! For Those Who Care! Strongest Woman, Hit Element, Social Issue Movie, Bad Art Film, AR Rahman Song!
Thank you Angie for reminding me I never summarized the winners! All I do, in a very scientific way, is look at your comments on the posts and then count on my fingers. Just like the Oscars!
Continue readingValentine’s Bracket: Love Story! Which Film Love Saga is Best?
Okay, phew! Last one! The hardest part is going to be waking up in the middle of the night going “dang it! I forgot ______!”
Continue readingLet’s Read and Discuss an Interesting Article on Netflix and India and Why it Failed!
Thank you Angie for a really interesting article!!! Which quotes Raja Sen, my favorite reviewer, woot!
Continue readingValentine’s Bracket: Best Love Scenes!!!
Oh boy! This is gonna be really REALLY tricky. I started out thinking “easy! No problem!” and then I got into it and it is difficult.
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: I Hate Luv Storys, 8am Saturday Morning!!!
Yes! We are watching I Hate Luv Storys! And I am doing 8am again instead of 7:30 because round numbers are easier!
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: Pick Between 3 Movies No One Wanted!!! I Hate Luv Storys, Pyaar Impossible, Premam!
I asked for suggestions, and then I ignored them! Because I am Blog Queen. Still only picking between movies with “love” in the title, but I have limited it to things I actually want to see! I’m being SELFISH.
Continue readingValentine’s Brackets: Love Songs!!!!
First, dang it, youtube changed their embed rules so you may have to click through to youtube to see the songs and make an intelligent decision.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the First Valentine’s Week?
Happy Wednesday! And happy start of the 2 week Valentine’s celebration! Thank goodness for Valentine’s, and thank goodness February is a nice short month. And thank goodness I scheduled a random long weekend in the middle!
Continue readingFirst Valentine’s Bracket Post!!! BEST JODIS!!!!! ROUND ONE!
Woot! I’m pumped! This is gonna be SO HARD to put together! And also, SO FUN!!! For me to write, and then for you to vote on. And maybe I will actually finally figure out how to do the poll thingies. Although honestly, I enjoy reading comments more!
Continue readingValentine’s Bracket Competition! Best Jodi, Best Love Song, Best Love Story, Best Love Scene!
Ready for a challenge? Instead of just letting you pick from all possible options, we are gonna do BRACKETS. So you HAVE to choose between the two I put head to head and then we keep narrowing it down. It will make more sense as we get into it.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: It’s February! ONLY MOVIES WITH LOVE IN THE TITLE!!!!
Yes! I am creating an arbitrary rule! For the 4 watchalongs of February, ONLY MOVIES WITH LOVE IN THE TITLE!!!
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Sparkling Cyanide! My Favorite Agatha Christie!!!! Discussion Sunday the 13th
Woot! Keeping up the book club train! It’s cold and snowy, it’s book season. And this is another short fun one with, best of all, a large specific list of characters that it would be super fun to recast in Indian film. Oh, and a nice little romance.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Last Day of January?
Happy Monday! I did NOT get enough sleep last night, be warned! I was up to late partying at my parents, and then I forgot I had to go to work early to cover for a co-worker today, blurgh.
Continue readingThinky Post: Modern Communication, Love Fraud, and the Novel Laura
Oh boy, a thinky post! Which is also connected to tomorrow’s DCIB Book Club pick. Yaaaaay!
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Laura! Discuss Here!!!! Hope At Least Some Of You Got a Chance to Read It!!!!
Woot! Laura!!!! We finally get to talk about it!!!! I hope you all read the book, but even if you only saw the movie (although you really should read the book), I guess you can still join the discussion 🙂
Continue readingShyam Singha Roy Review (SPOILERS): Great Movie! Lousy Framing Device
Well, this is a frustrating combo. A great movie stuffed inside a limp dull modern wrapping. If you have to watch it, it’s a definite start at the interval and skip the first have kind of film.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hide From Snow!
Happy Saturday! I am so glad to have my nice warm house. I woke up early and did our watchalong, than ran a bunch of errands, then walked the dog, and then was SO COLD. It’s not super super cold here, just around 7 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it’s warm enough that if I dress for it I don’t realize how cold I am. Until I come home and go “wow, I was outside way too long! I am so cold!”
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: Dushmani! 8am! For JACKIE!!!
Happy Saturday! And Happy Jackie Birthday Week! I have been talked into doing an ACTUAL Jackie movie, not just one of his modern ones where he has a little father role and nothing else.
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: Dushmani!!! Y’All Convinced Me to Do Classic Jackie!!!! And It Just Hit Netflix!!!! 8am Chicago Time Tomorrow Morning!
See, the problem with Classic Jackie is that he is REALLY hard to find. Because, I think, Subhash Ghai is a gross rapist and therefore no one wants to work with him and his films aren’t streaming anywhere legally. Good news though, a NON Ghai Jackie film just hit Netflix! Jackie, Sunny, Deepti Naval, and Manisha Koirala. It must be good, right? Even if I have never seen/hear of it?
Continue readingTweets That Made Me Smile: Karan, Salman, New Love Story, New Madhuri Series!!!
Two of these are really silly, and two are semi-not silly. Personally, I prefer the silly, but if you want to look at tweets with actual content, I have that also.
Continue readingWhat Should We Watch on Saturday Morning for Jackie? Bigil, Dhoom 3, Saaho, Bharat?
It’s Jackie’s Birthday Week! So we need to watch a Jackie movie on Saturday morning, right? And there are a handful I have considered that we have never watched together. And probably others out there I don’t even know about.
