Sunday WatchAlong! 9am Sunday, 1942 A Love Story!
Yes! I have decided with my own great power that we are watching 1942. You can rent it for a small amount on youtube, and I just plain like it! And I haven’t watched it in WAY too long.

I hope you enjoy a new rerun every hour! Because that is what you are getting today! I am going to enjoy all the niceness of sitting in an airport and reading a book for fun and ignore my blogging. But first, I will summarize my day for you so you can picture it, and know why I’m not responding to your comments.
Indian History on Film: My 4 Favorite Films to Watch Instead of Padmavati
Padmavati is almost definitely certainly not coming out tomorrow (I have learned to not really count on anything with Indian film releases, but it does seem pretty certain). So, if you are jonesing for a cinematic Indian history fix, what can you watch instead?

Happy Indian Independence Day!!!
Happy Indian Independence Day! I’m going to try a theme this year, and limit it to just things directly related to the Independence movement.
