Happy Saturday! Fair warning, I got like 6 hours of sleep last night, so I’m gonna be a bit punchy. Also, I may be watching this movie without subs. It’s gonna be a FUN watchalong!
Continue readingOops, forgot to put up a reminder post until just now. So this is the reminder and confirmation, we WILL have a watchalong Saturday morning/in 7 hours. And we WILL be watching Bang Bang!
Continue readingGood news, Bang Bang is on Hulu! Bad news, it doesn’t have English subs. Okay news, you can complain about this be emailing captions-feedback@hulu.com with details. As I have done. And I have a faint hope they will fix it within the next few days, and I am almost sure they will fix it eventually. Anyway, Einthusan has subs.
Continue readingBANG BANG! The greatest Hrithik movie of All Time. Greatest Movie of All Time in general? MAYBE! Filmikudhi is perhaps the only person who matches me in devotion to this great cinematic achievement. Now that it is on Hulu/Disney Plus, we MUST watch it this weekend. What day/time is best?
Continue readingI have a friend who had a really sucky week so, for Friend Movie Night this week, I want to pick something that has really truly NOTHING sad in it. And it’s HARD!!!
Continue readingI am SO HAPPY! I have been looking forward to watching this movie with y’all since the WatchAlongs started, and doing it early on a Saturday morning makes it feel extra special.
Continue readingI am stupidly excited about this. “Stupid” because there is no reason a slight change in the schedule of a virtual viewing should feel like some wild adventure. And yet, it does. Early morning watchalong! I could have pancakes! And on Friday, I could go to the park in the middle of the day!
Continue readingYes! It’s true! We are finally watching Bang Bang! I was waiting in desperate hope if it appearing back on Netflix or Prime or something, but that’s never gonna happen. So we are einthusaning it!
Continue readingIn Chicago right now it is just cold enough to be chilly inside (even with long pants and shirt), but not chilly enough that the landlord legally has to turn on the radiators. Or in other words, “that time of year when you check the city codes to find out if your landlord legally has to turn on the heat yet and are disappointed to learn he doesn’t”. Anyway, instead of putting on a sweater, or having hot tea, or moving away from the windows, I am going to write this post. Because those other things are just too much work.
Continue readingI already did this for Shahrukh, and I suspect fewer people will care about Hrithik than SRK. But lets see! And this time I am including movies where he doesn’t actually have sex on screen but will have sex shortly after the film ends.
Continue readingI love this movie so much. To a really unreasonable degree. I can justify it as a fun entertaining film, I can’t exactly justify my blind passion for it above all other films. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Continue readingThis seems like a happy and fruitful discussion topic, right? Especially since Hrithik has an oddly short filmography so you can watch all the songs right now in order to refresh your memory.
Continue readingWell, I’m having a rumpled start to the week! Karan sent out an embarrassingly sycophantic tweet this morning, there’s a final warm spell hitting Chicago which is making me not able to sleep, the elevator is broken (again) at work so I have to keep running up and down the really abnormally steep stairs, and my boss gave Dog Hazel some food she shouldn’t eat which wasn’t a big deal except that I had to tell my boss not to do that, which was an awkward upturning of our usual power structure (he’s in charge of me, but I’m in charge of Dog Hazel). Anyway, time for a soothing interesting post with a lot of great things to watch in it.
Follow up to my Rom-Com post! And one I actually feel more deeply about, there are a lot of great clever action films out there that don’t get attention while big stupid ones do, a much bigger problem with action than in the rom-com genre.
Nothing interesting in the news today (so desperate that outlets are falling back on the good old reliable Don 3 rumors), no birthdays, I already put up a review, so time to fall back on the oooooold reliable fill in, a theme song post! But a fun theme this time (I hope), songs with people jumping around!
It’s really not fair to all us account manager types that the end of the year accounting close period comes right after Christmas. I’m still drinking eggnog for breakfast! I’m not emotionally or mentally ready to be back at work! Luckily, Indian soundtracks are here for me. Let me walk you through the soundtrack of my work life.
NOT my best friend!!!! She is pushing for that commitment, but I am holding film against it, because that is the kiss of death. Once you say “best friend”, the relationship ends immediately (in my experience). Like when celebrity couples get tattoos of each other (Saif and Kareena excepted). But I will say “closest friend”. And, weirdly, she has the exact same birthday as my father. Which creates a little testing of loyalties every year as I try to schedule them around each other. Also Mickey Mouse, but I never really do anything to celebrate him, so it doesn’t really effect my plans.
This is inspired by Alisa, our new commentator who is trying to get a handle on the films. And also likes Aamir, thus the orgy of Aamir at the end this. It’s half tongue in cheek, just an excuse for fun songs, but also serious, these songs will really give you a leg up on some common words.
Happy Wednesday! Almost forgot to put this up again, but then I remembered! It was a roller coaster of emotion.
I’m still trying to get back in the swing of “normal” posting after the whole Jab Harry Met Sejal massive month long series. Technically I don’t “owe” another review right now, I’ve done my Malayalam and Tamil/Telugu for the week, my DDLJ (yes, I am finally back to DDLJ) will be going up sometime tomorrow, Hindi Film 101 is happening like usual on Thursday, but it just doesn’t feel like enough! So, here, have a bonus tiny review of a silly silly loveable movie.
Datablue pointed out that I completely forgot Hrithik in my last week’s “men in uniform” TGIF post. I was all set to remedy that, when I remembered his birthday was coming up! What could be a better gift to us all in honor of the occasion than an entirely Hrithik TGIF post?
Happy Birthday Kat! You are not my favorite actress, but I think I can dig up my traditional 12 reasons to love you. Especially if most of them are songs, because you really are a fun dancer to watch!
Bollywoodhungama is reporting that Siddharth Anand has the rights to the Rambo trilogy. Which is exciting and intriguing and all kinds of interesting!
