I’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 readingDDLJ Youtube Video With Pardesi and ALBIE DOG!!!!
Pardesi/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 readingShahrukh Month Discussion Post: What Movie Would Make an Interesting Follow Up TV Show?
I 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 readingThinky Post: Pop Culture and Progressiveness, Understanding the Difference Between “Then” and “Now”
What a fun title! Just makes you eager to read the post, right? Way more fun than “who is the sexiest man/woman”.
Continue readingQuiz Time! Which Shahrukh Heroine Are You?
You 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 readingDiscussion Post: What Movie/Book/TV Show Have You Gotten Absolutely Obsessed About? (yes, you can say JHMS)
I 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 readingSunday WatchAlong, DDLJ! Right Here, Starting at 10am! Woo-Hoo!
So 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 readingSunday Watchalong Tomorrow! DDLJ at 10am Chicago Time!!!!!
Woo-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 Post: Who Are Your Ultimate Personal Jodi? Rahul and Anjali? Harry and Sejal? Humpty and Kavya?
Discussion time! No wrong answer here, just personal stories/opinions.
Continue readingPride Day: Indian Movies That You Most Want Remade as Queer Love Stories
I 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 readingBook Day! What Indian Movie Do You Most Want Made Into a Book?
This 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 Show and Tell! Post Pictures of Your Favorites For Each of These Categories!
Clothing 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 readingTGIF: Rank Aditya Chopra’s Male Leads in Order of Sexiness
A vital question! And yes, I am including the 3 younger men from Mohabbatein, just to make it a little more complex.
Continue readingAditya Chopra Week! Rank Aditya’s Heroes in Terms of Originality of Character!
Albie 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 readingAditya Chopra Week! Adi’s Men, Flawed But Not Fragile
Thank 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 readingDDLJ Part 52: (Aditya Chopra Week) Shahrukh Finds the Moon (Happy Birthday Joyomama!)
Part 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 readingHappy Aditya Chopra Week!!!!! Sex-Marry-Punch, Aditya Chopra Heroes
Oh 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 readingHindi Film 101: What Are Mothers in Indian Film and Indian Society?
Oh 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 readingDDLJ Discussion Question: Sex, Marry, Punch; Anupam, Kuljit, Shahrukh, Amrish
A 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 readingDDLJ Part 51 (Because I Love You All): Anupam Finds a Girl
My 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)
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Which Movie Mothers Do You Most LIKE???
I feel we need to be fair to motherhood, after yesterday’s post asking which one you least like, we need to include ones you DO like and why.
Continue readingGo Around the World in Song!
I was listening to the new Rahman soundtrack, which lead me his last soundtrack that I loved Sarvam Thaala Mayam, which lead me to the title song, which lead me to think about the best songs for just gorgeous scenery.
