Yes! We are all going to THINK! Even though it is December, and FilmiKudhi is having a baby, and Eva and I are in mourning, and just in general life is insane (Genevieve, I’m I remembering right that you are in the midst of a sweep of birthdays?), we are still going to DISCUSS and THINK and STUFF.
Continue readingHey, Adi’s birthday! Coming up tomorrow! We should celebrate! We should also put opinions on the Friday watchalong scheduling post from yesterday because no one has yet!
Continue readingA challenge!!!!! Which will be well-nigh impossible! At least, it would be for me. All 3 Khans had amazingly iconic love songs in this era, with adorable spectacular co-stars and forever hit tunes and so on and so forth. But which is BEST? And I guess also which is worst, and which is middlest.
Continue readingThank you TownsandTulips! This is such a great interesting question! At least, it is interesting to me, hopefully to other people too.
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day and eating cake and spoiling yourself. And as a thank you for being such a nice enthusiastic new commenter, here is my gift: a new section of DDLJ.
Continue readingI’m not sure if I will be able to articulate this correctly or not. But I will try my darnedest and we will see what we get.
Continue readingPardesi/MovieMavenGal/My Friend reached out and suggested we do a youtube video talking about DDLJ for the anniversary today. And then Albie Dog decided he really really wanted to be involved too. So all three of us got together and talked about the movie.
Continue readingI think this question makes sense. At least, it makes sense in my head. I want to see if I can make it make sense in your heads.
Continue readingWhat a fun title! Just makes you eager to read the post, right? Way more fun than “who is the sexiest man/woman”.
Continue readingYou ready for how rumpled I am today? I have retreated to online quizzes! I never do online quizzes. Like really, never. But something about watching a happy sitcom and methodically answering questions about myself is really nice.
Continue readingI guess also music album/stage show. Anything you think about obsessively, talk about excessively, and so on and so forth, until you are over it all of a sudden and it becomes this nice nostalgic piece of your past.
Continue readingSo excited for a DDLJ watchalong! I will be very superficial and dumb I suspect, far less “let’s consider the deconstruction of the typical Hindi film hero” and far more “his DIMPLES!!!!”
Continue readingWoo-hoo! You know why I picked DDLJ? Because I can be high on pain pills and still follow it. If I am high on pain pills, don’t you want to be there to watch me say things like “hat pretty dimples cute bad Amrish Puri BAD”?
Continue readingDiscussion time! No wrong answer here, just personal stories/opinions.
Continue readingI was going to say “that could be queer love stories”, but really that is all of them. Out of all the possible wonderful queer films, which do you most want?
Continue readingThis is a very clear question in my head, hopefully I can make it clear for other people to understand too. Because I want to know your thoughts!
Continue readingClothing Day! Probably less universally exciting than food day, but still interesting! I wonder what my theme should be for tomorrow? Hair? Teeth? What else does every human possess and have opinions on?
Continue readingA vital question! And yes, I am including the 3 younger men from Mohabbatein, just to make it a little more complex.
Continue readingAlbie Dog has decided his new morning routine is to have breakfast, and then pee on the floor. The first time it happened was absolutely my fault, I skipped a walk and he was desperate. But I think his doggie brain then went “hey, this is a good system, I should keep doing this”. Anyway, I had an unpleasant start to the day and now want to think about pleasant things as a distraction. So, Aditya Chopra’s Heroes!
Continue readingThank you Kainaat! And SRK, of course. Kainaat quoted SRK describing Adi as someone who writes movies about men while his father wrote movies about women, and that started me thinking a whole thing.
Continue readingPart 52! Less fun than the last part maybe, because Himani and Anupam were suuuuuuuuch fun. But SRKajol are fun too, in their own young dumb way. And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOYOMAMA!!!!! You mentioned it in a comment on another post, and I made this present for you right quick
Continue readingOh boy! Aditya Chopra week! The beauty of Adi’s career is that it is so very limited. Even if I include the movies he scripted along with the ones he directed, still a tiny list.
Continue readingOh boy, a big scary 101 that people are going to yell at me and disagree with me about what I say! Those are always the best ones.
Continue readingA vital question! And I am throwing in a complication to make this hard, Sex Marry Punch but with FOUR choices. So one of them you have to just leave alone.
Continue readingMy views are insanely low right now, and I don’t super care. The blog is keeping me sane and if it is doing the same for my half dozen or so folks who are still reading and commenting, that’s totally worth it. But! Since it is just us half dozen in an empty room chatting, that means we can talk about the stuff we care about and not worry about the 100 or so other people who are usually here with us. TIME FOR DDLJ!!!!! (full index here)
