Continue readingYaaaaaaaaay, a Zoom Discussion! Hopefully this gives y’all enough time to watch the movie. Cleverly, I scheduled it late enough that I have the option of just watching it between the end of my work day on Friday and the start of the Zoom.
Continue readingLet’s stick with the long ridiculous 70s movie theme! And also feminist! Sharmila is 100% the hero of this movie, even if it was Rajesh Khanna’s big break.

Continue readingHappy Friday! And also, Happy Good Friday!!! Easter this Sunday, which I will celebrate in my traditional style, by cleaning and eating a chocolate bunny. And by putting up this theme post. One of the best old classics, and also a very Easter-y plot.
Happy Mother’s Day! Last year I did 3 short posts, this year I am going to combine them all into one big post! Songs, scenes, and a list of films you can watch if you want to celebrate.
Well, that was a Ratnam movie all right! In that, while watching it, I thought “this is kind of okay, sort of interesting, very pretty”. And then I’ve spent two hours thinking about it and I haven’t even gotten close to unpacking all the themes and metaphors and so on and it just gets deeper and deeper the further I go.
So, I am going on a trip! All by myself! Purely for pleasure! For the first time in my entire life! And today and Monday, I will be traveling literally all day. Like, for 14 hours straight. Which is a good thing, I get to sit on the plane/bus/train and just read for pleasure with no guilt over not doing something else productive, like writing blog posts.
I am going to be just super self-indulgent and use this holiday as an excuse to post a bunch of cute photos/videos of movie stars with babies. And as babies. And other babies who love movie stars.
