Happy Monday! And Happy Labor Day!!!! I am either going to spend the day laboring, cleaning floors and emptying boxes and hanging hooks and stuff, or spend the day enjoying not laboring and just sitting around doing puzzles and napping. Time will tell!
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I have been soooooooo productive! Home Depot, Goodwill, Costco, and then came home and organized my dining room and guest room and put away all my Costco stuff, and now I am taking a break before building my guest room bed. First guest is staying with me next weekend! Woot!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Today is the day we take the sailboat out of the lake!!! Which involves a lot of confusion and complaining at each other, and then a nice relaxing relief feeling once it is done. Basically the same as any hard collective family task. Like putting up a Christmas tree.
Continue readingHappy Friday! Were you worried I forgot? I almost did. My Dad was over and we were deep into home repairs.
Continue readingI promised to share pictures of my new place, and I have been waiting until it wasn’t a disaster. But that’s going to take forever! So instead I am going to share little bright spots of pretty.
Continue readingWoot! 3 Day US Weekend! And WOOT!!!! Anjaam is on Netflix! It is like the PERFECT watchalong movie. So ridiculous, and also has SRK and Madhuri. Seems like we just have to do a bonus watchalong
Continue readingWoot! Friday Watchalong! And WOOT! EEGA! It’s soooooooooooooooo good. And cheap to rent and easy to find and all those good things.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! And Happy September!!! I am so glad to have made it to fall, my Favorite season. Especially this year when summer was so super super oppressively hot, and I had to move 3 times.
Continue readingMimi is the same movie as English Babu Desi Mem, which itself was a remake of Zamane Ko Dikhane Hai. Sure, the details are different, but the same question of “is the better parent the non-biological one who loves the child, or the rich biological one who can give the child a good life?” is the same. And it is a remarkably common question in Indian film!
Continue readingI am SO EXCITED to finally write this spoilers review so we can all gab together about this movie and the various slight oddities in it.
Continue readingWell, now I see why so many of you said that I shouldn’t be afraid to watch this movie. It is very pleasant, very light, doesn’t really make you super feel anything. So if you want a real tearjerker deep version of a surrogate story, don’t watch this. But if you want a pleasant timepass that is unobjectionable, this is a nice one.
Continue readingOkay, time to decide! Friday or Saturday this week? And what movie should we watch? So many birthdays! So many options!
Continue readingReady to prove we are less of a “film blog” and more of a “group of very close and supportive friends who hang out online”? FilmiKudhi is having a baby!!!! A very very wanted and waited for baby, so we should be VERY HAPPY. Heck, I am very happy! This is great news! And she should name the baby SHAHRUKH!!! I failed to convince my sister to name my nephew after SRK, this might be my last chance.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am still China Cabinet-less! But by Thursday, I will have one one way or another. Sigh.
Continue readingWARNING! I am going to be spoiling the movies Last Christmas and Just Wright. But, on the other hand, not really spoiling them because they are delightfully predictable and pleasant as all rom-coms should be. It’s about the journey, not the destination.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Would “Gods of Shipping” be more clear? What I mean is, whoever controls the fate of packages.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a watchalong!!!! I’m excited! I’m gonna get off work, do errands, then come home and settle in for a nice shared viewing experience.
Continue readingI am trying to be objective and “isn’t this interesting?”, but really I’m just going “hahahahaha! I was RIGHT! I thought this thing was true and now here is a study that says it IS!”
Continue readingKind of last minute, but who cares! It’s Kal Ho Na Ho!!!! 3pm tomorrow (Friday), Shahrukh, Saif, Preity, tears, romance, EVERYTHING.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! Put this off a bit last minute, oops! And the only exciting birthday this week is Jim Sarbh, and the only good Jim Sarbh watchalong movie is Raabta which we already watched. So, my mind is a blank!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I don’t know-know I broke my little toe. But at the very least I bruised it heavily! It’s a fun thing to watch slowly change color over time.
Continue readingI just read a month and a half of People magazines, and my goodness are they excited about JLo and Ben! Which made me realize it’s not just in India that celebrity shifted in the early 2000s, it’s crazy that in America these two 50 year olds are still bigger stars than everyone who came after them. And also, years later reunions are a GREAT story and I want more of them.
Continue readingLet’s chat! It’s been a while since we had a nice cozy chat. And I am legitimately curious about what people think on these vital issues. I know my opinions, but I don’t know if they are universal or if folks vary.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had such a nice weekend and now work is so HARD and I don’t want to do it. Boooo!!!
Continue readingI just caught up on a month and a half of People magazines, and it gave me thinky thoughts! Most of these thoughts are courtesy of People, it really is a good morally responsible magazine. I know that sounds crazy, but no joke, they deal with mental health issues and gun violence and all kinds of things besides “Ben and JLo Together Again!”
