Continue readingWoo-hoo, big dumb Netflix movie! So happy. Big overwhelming week of big overwhelming stuff, and now I just want to forget all about it and see who will win the big ballroom dance competition.
Continue readingI figure, this is a question we can all answer. And perhaps, hopefully, learn from each other.
Continue readingYaaaaaay! A dumb brainless short movie! For the brainless overheated late summer folks of DCIB.
Continue readingThank you Emily for the suggestion! It has been a while since I did a musical post. And July is filled with birthdays, so there’s lots of options.
Continue readingMy weekend is chock a block! I’m up in Wisconsin, then driving back to Chicago, then back to Wisconsin, and what with one thing and another, I want just a SHORT movie and only on Friday afternoon (Saturday I’m doing house stuff all day).
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Today I tuck away all my stuff so my friends’ can finish painting their apartment, and then drive to the lake house. I’m debating whether I want to come back into the city this weekend to finish off some stuff (mow the lawn, etc.) or if I want to just be out of town and not think about things for two weeks.
Continue readingOh, this is SUCH a good chapter! It has a reasonable explanation for why immigrant parents want their children to marry within their culture, it has a subtle chauvinism contrasted with apparent chauvinism, and it has a teenage girl being so stupid you want to reach through the pages and shake her, but also you understand.
Continue readingWell, this is an interesting trailer! Ripped from the headlines of like 5 years ago, but still a story I am surprised to see onscreen.
Continue readingHappy Birthday to my sister! I sent her a WONDERFUL present, but I’m not sure if her little toddler boss will let her open it right away. So I am creating another present that she can read on her phone with one hand while holding a little hand.
Continue readingHappy Monday! Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday and we did a river tour of the city and then dinner in the cool little cocktail bar across from their new condo. And today is my sister’s birthday and, as usual, she will be doing whatever the little toddler dictator orders her to do (“Mommy UP! Mommy, CAH! Mommy STROLLER! Mommy More Milk!”).
Continue readingHappy Saturday! My new homeownership excitement continues! Today, I want to try installing a dog gate, and see if I can figure out how to put together and use the lawnmower.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaay, Fairy Tales! I love fairy tales. And this one has a noble poor boy and a proud princess and all kinds of things.
Continue readingWhat a long headline! And now I have nothing left to say in the post itself. This is just a last minute reminder.
Continue readingOnly one option for TGIF this week! And he was a very very handsome man who took many many photos, so this should be a fun post.
Continue readingWhat a RIDICULOUS movie! Which knew perfectly well it was ridiculous. If you can’t handle tension and twists and thrillers, read this review to just know the basics of what happened and talk about it with us. Or if you saw it and have Thoughts, you can read my summary and my thoughts and then we can talk!
Continue readingSuper fun movie! If you like black comedy and thriller twists, you will like this. It’s also a lot lighter than you might thing, the tone never shifts into depression and misery, it’s all just mystery and surprises and ridiculousness. On the other hand, if you don’t like twists and black comedy, maybe not.
Continue readingWoot, Aan! It’s on Einthusan and for rent on Prime, both the same length (so far as I can tell), so should be equal. And it is soooooooo fun. Silly fairy tale adventure romance with bandits and princesses and everything.
Continue readingMoving, the heat, all of this stuff happening, it’s making it impossible for me to think. You solve my life for me!
Continue readingYes! It is Filhaal part 2! And the promise at the end is, “the pain ends”. Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Continue readingDilip Saheb wrote an enormous autobiography a few years back. I read it, and wrote about it on the blog. In honor of his death, if you want to learn more about his life, read this.
Continue readingI got a text from a friend that woke me up this morning. What a way to wake up!
Continue readingJust because it’s not Indian doesn’t mean it’s not interesting! And both of these are solid well-made productions that I think folks here might enjoy, if they are looking for solid well-made productions.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Ranveer!!!! Thank goodness, I need some happiness after a stressful hot difficult weekend. Fireworks everywhere all weekend, dog was miserable and I got little sleep, super super hot, moving heavy furniture, UGH! But now, Ranveer is here to save me.
Continue readingI had a stressful terrible wonderful weekend (moving is HARD y’all! Even when you are moving to your dream place), so I forgot to put up this post on Sunday. And no one noticed, which makes me think it is still just me and Emily and Emily is too nice to complain.
