This movie is horribly offensive, stupid, and disturbing. And also operatic and beautiful and you can’t look away. Naturally, I am excited to watch it with y’all!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Anjaam! Shahrukh Meets Madhuri!
Such a great weird movie! Shahrukh is probably the most villainous he will ever be, absolutely no redeeming features, and Madhuri becomes as dark as he is.
Continue readingIMPORTANT QUESTION: What Costume(s) Should Albie Dog Wear for Halloween This Year?
This really isn’t that early! Shipping rates are slow, and costumes sell out fast. So we need to make this important decision now, in order for Albie Dog to properly celebrate.
Continue readingLittle Things Change, Big Things Stay the Same
I’m feeling slightly shakey today, thanks to too much excitement in the past week. Grandpa’s birthday was just the start of a whole string of virtual and real social events (including my epic making hair cut) and now I am feeling all mentally/emotionally exhausted. I don’t know about you, but I have found the only way I can stay sane right now is to focus on little things. I can’t handle thinking about big global changes, but I can focus on little tiny local changes and accept them as part of how life is always changing. As though I was a little kid, just seeing the world right in front of me, and the little changes around me.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: I! The Bonkers Tamil Movie! Just Because I Want to Watch it Again! 24 Hours From Now, 3pm Chicago Time Friday
No idea if anyone (besides Kirre, of course) will be able to show up this week, so I went with the movie that I wouldn’t mind watching again even if it was just by myself. The songs are so crazy, and the visuals so amazing!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown BATTLE OF THE CHAMPIONS: Who is Sexier, Don or Harry or Jug?
Oh yeah, I’m not afraid to ask the tough questions! Sometimes multiple times, I feel like I have done a variation of this post before but I couldn’t confirm in the archives, so I am going ahead with it!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa! The Movie He Himself Thinks is One of His Best!
Such a good movie! And such a light happy movie too, I just love it, maybes you smile all day just thinking about it.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Tea! Who Drinks It, Why Do You Like it, What is Your Technique, Does Anyone Put in Lemon or Is That Just Made Up?
Another random fun discussion post! Tea! Counterpart to our “coffee” discussion. Get all your tea opinions ready!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Darr! His First For Real Classic Film
I certainly enjoy Deewana and Chamatkar and Baazigar, but they aren’t like high quality deep classic things. Darr though, Darr is CLASSIC. A brilliant consideration of women’s powerlessness in the face of men who want to “rescue” her or “protect” her.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Final Part!!!
THE END. At last. Although it was certainly a fun ride.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 7!
Second to last part! Woot woot! After this we have to move on to Darr which is considerably high quality, and less fun.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 6!
Second day of Baazigar bits! I could have down it all in one day, but why rush? It’s fun, we should stretch out the joy.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: What to See This Week? Insane Tamil Movie I, Chaahat for Ramya Krishnan’s Birthday, or Something Else?
I’m really pretty open this week, my mind is a blank. Chaahat for Ramya, or I because it is PERFECT for snarking, both are ones I’ve been thinking about for a while. But I don’t have any particular loyalty to them.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the Week I (maybe) Finish with My Foot?
Happy Wednesday! And happy day I have my last doctor’s appt and my last physical therapy appointment! Hopefully. Maybe.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 5!
Woot, moving right along! Because I already wrote them and am reposting, it took a lot longer the first time around.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 4!
This is halfway through my summary, which means it should be halfway through the movie, but I’m not sure if I lined up right or not. Oh well.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 3!
This has 8 parts in total, in case you were wondering. Which should take me neatly into tomorrow and keep my blogging full with little effort on my part, yaaaay!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Baazigar! Part 2!
Another part! This is a movie that is actually worth rewatching, so rewatch it, read my posts, and follow along.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown! SRKajol First Appear, Baazigar! Part 1!
This is exciting, one of my first scene by scenes! So it is a little raggedy and confused, but still fun to read. And I will be posting each bit separately over the next few hours.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Movie 5! King Uncle, Shahrukh Takes Third Place Behind a Little Girl and Jackie Shroff
King Uncle! The Indian remake of Little Orphan Annie! Very silly. Very happy. Very little SRK.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What is Your Favorite Season and Why?
A vital question! Which hopefully will get us all talking a bit, because I like it when we talk, and also I am procrastinating about writing my next Shahrukh review.
Continue readingInstagram Round-Up: Sid M is Cute and Funny, Varun With the Two Loves of His Life, and Gauri’s Got a Book!
Haven’t done one of these in a while, feeling kind of low energy this morning, so I thought I would see if there was anything awesome on The Internet. There isn’t really anything awesome, but there’s some stuff that is okay.
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown: Movie 5! Maya Memsaab!
Once again, have only seen this movie a couple of times, and haven’t watched it in years. But I will soldier on and try to put up SOME kind of a review!
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me On Ayushmann Khurrana’s Birthday?
Happy Monday! I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year this morning. I’m back at my parents and there is a drive through Starbucks a couple blocks away from them, so when I woke up early this morning, I thought “I’m gonna walk the dog over to my car and drive to Starbucks and treat myself”. The Starbucks lady said my dog was cute, so it was an all around successful adventure.
Continue readingMasaba Masaba, Thoughts and Questions about the WHOLE THING
I did two posts quickly summarizing and reviewing each of the 6 episodes (first 3 and then second 3). And now, a very quick post discussing the WHOLE THING!!!
