Kind of a boring guy which, coincidentally, is what makes him so interesting. How does a boring boring person find a way to maintain some level of stardom?
Continue readingHappy 27th Birthday Alia! You don’t get a special post of any kind (maybe tomorrow) because I got like 4 hours of sleep last night, and the night before, and I have that kind of physical grief hangover thing. Like, I’m not upset my aunt is dead, because it happened months ago after months of sickness, but it’s still A Thing to go see her buried and clean out her house and stuff. I told you all that’s why I was taking a train trip this weekend, right? Anyway, Alia gets a discussion post instead.
Continue readingOkay, I’m home, I’m feeling better, I am ready to do a FilmFare post I actually want to do. CLOTHES!
Continue readingWoo-hoo! A new Humpty Sharma review! For those of you who really really love this movie. Or at least tolerate those of us who really really love this movie.
Continue readingNo, you can’t wish for infinite wishes! Genie’s are sick of the little smart aleck kids who say that. You can only have ONE wish, and it is strictly Indian film related, and here are your choices. Be warned, they are HARD!!!!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I’m still recovering from traveling last weekend and just crawling through the work week. Very eager for Saturday when all I have to do is house chores and sleep in.
Continue readingThanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
Continue readingWoo, Gully Boy! Released in February, just when I was thinking 2019 would have no good movies at all. And then it showed me that it would have at least one.
Continue readingGossip is bad, and we shouldn’t make assumptions about people we don’t know, and of course none of this matters as much as stuff that happens in “real” life. But, on the other hand, isn’t it fun?
Continue readingI’ve got a holiday surprise I’m working on for y’all, but in the meantime enjoy this fun little placeholder post where we can all share our Christmas stories and trade gossip and whatever.
Continue readingTime to write our wish list for Santa! And he can give us anything he wants, because he is SANTA! Govinda come back? SRKajol reunion? Sid-Alia Break-Up? It could all happen!
Continue readingSo much for you to talk about! I mostly care about which movie people want me to see, because the showtime is at 11am so I need to make a decision soon. But you can talk about the other stuff too!
Continue readingI am off to my father’s birthday party tonight, so no time to write a fanfic today. Instead, enjoy a rerun of father themed stories!
Continue readingWell, everyone is making bad decisions this week! And just because their big grown up celebrities doesn’t mean they are too big for me to correct.
Continue readingSo many things happening without my supervision! I’m going to try to summarize them all and we can decide if they are good ideas, or bad ideas.
Continue readingWhat a weird story! I don’t think there is any big secret scandal to be unearthed here (except for my personal and almost certainly inaccurate crazy theory), but it is interesting to discuss because there is so much history and backstory and at the same time, so much unknown.
Continue readingMore news! Whenever I do these posts, there is one story that really jumps out at people, and I can never predict which one it is. I wonder which it will be in this post?
Continue readingI don’t like this song teaser system because I feel like I should put up a thing for us to talk about it, but then I end up saying the same things about the teaser that I want to say about the full song and it is all just confusing. Luckily this time I can tuck the teaser in at the end of a post about an actual song.
Continue readingGood news! I finally figured out how to load videos after the WordPress update! Also, Ticket posted an interesting link related to critics and celebrities, so I’m putting that up. And I have a fun silly poll for us too!
Continue readingIf everyone in Hindi film just sent all their scripts to me for a final pass before filming began, everything would be so much better. I can fix it all! Just give me a chance before you spend crores and crores of budget on a movie with an ending that MAKES NO SENSE. Oh and Kalank spoilers, obviously, only read if you have seen the movie. And if you have seen the movie, please give me your opinion and suggestions for other better endings!
Continue readingWhat an interesting love quadrangle! I really really like the central set-up concept for this film, and kind of wish it could have been moved out of pre-partition India and into a regular rom-com setting. And really, if you like romances, you should watch it. Don’t spoil yourself! Read my no spoiler review instead.
Continue readingWell, that was fun!!!! If it had released 20 years ago, it would be a solid hit and forgotten in a month, and then it would pop-up on TV occasionally and people would say “oh yeah, that movie!” I don’t know how it will do in today’s world at the box office, but at least critically I want to treat it as the nice unambitious pleasant fairy tale it aspires to be, not as the Great Noble Brilliant Movie that it wasn’t even trying to be. I suspect other reviewers might ding it for not being the Great Noble Brilliant Movie they thing it should be without realizing it never wanted to be that.
Continue readingSo many little little stories today! I don’t want to try to tie them together and they aren’t really worth deep discussion on their own, so instead I will throw it all out there and let you discuss.
Continue readingSuch a disturbing movie. Like, not sure if I can go to sleep tonight kind of disturbing. Very disturbing. But also very high quality.
Continue readingWell, it’s pretty much what we thought. I think. No subtitles, because Dharma hates us. And then they will magically appear in like 3 hours. WHY DO THEY DO THIS???? Oh, and I actually did 5 minutes of research and confirmed that it is NOT based on What the Body Remembers any more than Paa was based on Benjamin Buttons (yes, that was a story for a while too).
