I just love Nadia Wadia. She represents, to me, everything that is good about the Bombay film industry. She was an outsider, she was down and out, and she was welcomed and found love and acceptance. And then she turned around and payed it forward, representing a heroine and an icon for the independence movement, her heroines talking about literacy, anti-casteism, all kinds of awesome things. While having fights on the top of a train.

Yes, we are rewarding streaming shows! And reality shows! Both new categories! I have never dealt with them before, because they are DUMB. But for 2020, let us reward things for being very dumb and brainless and generally worthless.
Continue readingThinky Post: the Story of the White Woman Who Dates the Desi Guy
I just saw The Big Sick, which was great, but made me think about how there is something that I think of as common sense but which I have never fully said out loud and we have never talked about.
Continue readingThe Big Sick Review: I Finally Saw It! Finally, a Rom-Com That Feels Real
Yes, after years of resistance, I finally saw it, because my parents tied me down and made me watch it. And it is very very good, I never doubted that, but it also made me think, which is exhausting. Thinking, BLEH!

Continue readingDCIB Book Club! Read Fast Fun FREE Agatha Christie’s The Secret Adversary and Talk About it Here in a Week (Sunday 1/10)!
A New Thing!!!! Just like I used to announce reviews in advance so folks could watch the movies and be ready to discuss, I am announcing a semi-random book in advance! It’s fun, it’s short, it’s FREE (in most places depending on copyright laws), and it is so popular there’s a good chance many of you have already read it. If you haven’t you can skim through the whole thing in like 3-4 hours, so just do that instead of watching a movie this week. On Sunday, a week from now, I will put up a discussion post and we can chat.
Continue readingChatty Check-In Post: Who Here Has Experienced The Following Symptoms of Lockdown?
