Happy Monday! I cut Albie Dog’s quick when I was trimming his nails last night, and now Alia is going to have Ranbir’s baby. It’s all very upsetting.
Continue readingWell, now we have a hint of plot. And it’s not….great. You know what is missing? A sense of humor. You have to have a sense of humor in these kinds of things or it just doesn’t work. You need that classic Marvel acknowledgement meta joke of “this is super weird, right?”
Continue readingWell, it’s Ranbir and Alia’s wedding day. And this is so upsetting that FilmiKudhi sent me a video of her son fussing about it. He’s not even 6 months yet, and even he thinks it is a bad idea.
Continue readingThis is what happens when I let things go! And I’m gonna have to keep letting things go because I’m still fighting fatigue. But y’all have to pick up the slack for me.
Continue readingOh boy! Finally fun things to talk about!!! Two new Alia teasers, and SRK put out a tweet that doesn’t make sense.
Continue readingSo I am listening to my crime podcasts, and I just hit two in a row where an older man grooms a teenage girl, which is CREEPY and WRONG. And it made me remember the one time rom-com makers successfully made it NOT creepy, and then think “why has this not been an Indian movie?”
Continue readingI did it! I saw a new movie, in theaters, with friends! And it was a Bhansali movie too, the WORST kind of movie.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am having cleaners coming today! I am excited. This afternoon, I am planning to stay home and enjoy the lovely cleanness.
Continue readingI’m gonna get back on a SCHEDULE!!! Through out the pandemic, keeping to a blog schedule has kept me sane. Throwing it out the window during moving week was NOT HEALTHY. So I’m gonna make an effort and do the posts that are supposed to go up on the days they are supposed to go up. With that in mind, Silly Sunday!
Continue readingDid you know real estate is stressful? Like, it combines money/relationships/shelter all in one thing? WHO KNEW???? Anyway, I’m in a high stress 24 hour period of my hunt (offer submitted, waiting to hear back, 50/50 chance it will work out) so I need DISTRACTION!!! Time for FanFic!
Continue readingHappy Monday! And happy day after Aamir day!!! Great way to start the week, even though I have my usual “ewww, Monday? Work? Yuch!” feeling.
Continue readingHuh, a trailer! It’s been so looooooooooooong since we had one of those!
Continue readingThis sounds dark, but it comes from a place of love. Some couples just should not be together! They will blossom and be happier apart.
Continue readingChristmas remakes! Okay, one of them isn’t technically Christmas, but it’s all family love and stuff, so it could easily be Christmas.
Continue readingThis is the most satisfying Shahrukh has made in the past 5 years. When people say “why does he have to be the hero?” or “why does he always do the same thing?”, this movie is the argument against that.
Continue readingLet’s check in on the world of light celebrity content and see what we can find! Nothing will ever be as good as Harshwardhan’s essay about “sneaker culture”, but I can always hope.
Continue readingWell, this is a movie that is very angry at authority figures! I can get behind that. The specifics of the message are maybe a little out of date, the GodMan is no longer as powerful in India as GodMob, but the general idea that blind trust in what you are told is bad, that’s a timeless message.
Continue readingWell, this was simultaneously better and worse than I expected! Mahesh’s directing and Sanjay and Alia’s chemistry together was far better than I hoped. And the anti-establishment message was a delight (I totally hit the nail on the head with my OSHO guess, by the way. Go me!). But the script as a whole just wasn’t quite good enough.
Continue readingHappy Internet stuff! Mostly because Angie sent me a link from twitter of THE BEST store. Is this what happens when you do twitter? You find out about cool fan stores?
Continue readingIt finally released! And I decided it deserved it’s very own post. Generally looks like a decent movie (Mahesh could make no less), but also some interesting context.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Courtney’s birthday, party time! And Humpty time! 2pm Chicago time this week (an hour earlier than usual), and a very good movie. I’ll start the comments off at 2pm and you all can keep commenting along.
Continue readingSocial Media! The DCIB version, where it’s all about cute pets and birthday wishes and Amitabh being a funny old man.
Continue readingInternet things! Including a broad definition to mean also “the video my co-worker sent of her kitten sneezing”.
Continue readingSurely, this will be a long list, won’t it? Any time you are watching a movie going “ooo, the two ‘best friend’ characters really have great chemistry”. Tell us about them!
Continue readingBarely enough her to make a post, but you know I can’t resist Yash and Roohi videos. They dance! They do puzzles! They slowly and steadily destroy the apartment!
