Been a while since I did this, and I felt the need for a jolt of that special social media happiness this morning, so here we go!
Continue readingI have a standard “international women” post I usually repost for this day. But today, something different! I want to focus on two special oddities that I find fascinating.
Continue readingHappy 2021 wishes! BABIES!!!!! I’m just wildly loading these folks up with children. I’m gonna assume they all want babies of course, if they don’t then the universe can ignore me. But assuming they do want kids, then I want them to have kids, and then I want lots and lots and lots of cute instagram posts.
Continue readingThis is such a great movie! I am strongly tempted to make it my pick for my virtual SRK birthday party on Monday.
Continue readingOooo, only 8 films left! And 6 of them have full scene by scenes in my archives. I think I better start cranking through these posts a bit faster.
Continue readingWell, this is satisfying! And answers a question I have been wondering about, what are the libel laws available in India?
Continue readingIf Shahrukh doesn’t announce it on his twitter, it’s not definitely happening. So this is not a “this is happening!” post. This is a “let’s talk about the implications of people rumoring this is happening” post.
Continue readingIt’s also Mahesh Babu’s birthday, so I put up a review of a movie I disliked for him. Now to balance, a review of a movie I liked!
Continue readingSecond part! Ranveer Singh, the movie star. Which is a performance he is giving and has convinced all of us is truth.
Continue readingInstagram! Land of happiness! So nice it just look at pretty pictures of pretty people and not have a million trolls. I will enjoy it while it lasts.
Continue readingThis is one of the few movies where I enjoy Irrfan, but I don’t mind it when he isn’t onscreen either. It’s such a good film with such good performances all around, for once the movie lives up to Irrfan.
Continue readingStill watching Hart of Dixie which does really good love triangles, and it has inspired me to try and see what I can come up with as potential Indian film triangles. Not easy ones where it’s a choice between love and duty, but ones where there are two viable “love” options.
Continue readingSeeta Aur Geeta is the only Sippy film that can really be remade. Remaking Sholay is obviously impossible, and the other films fall into that fuzzy area where they are fun for what they are, and all the little character beats and stuff, but if you try to recreate it, it would all fly away and nothing special would be left. Like, I love Zamaana-Deewana, but remove the orgasm song, and Anupam Kher’s drag scene, and all you’ve got is a really weird plot about boring young lovers.
Continue readingI already did this for the boys, but can the girls be far behind? And yes, “girls”. Most of these actresses started out before they were 20 and in my book that means you are still a kid.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I slept and slept and lazed and lazed and I have hopes of no longer feeling low energy and sick at work.
Continue readingShoot, I just wrote and posted Deepika’s 101 a few weeks back. And while she’s had good songs, that’s not where she shines the most so a “songs post” doesn’t really fit. But I think I can do a post talking about her best roles.
Continue readingThanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
Continue readingI wrote this FanFic on Sunday but just kind of sketched in the outline. And then we talked and came up with multiple variations on the story.
Continue readingOh Dips! I can’t be the only one who has a vaguely worried and protective feeling about her, right? She just seems to have been hit by life so many times.
Continue readingWell, this is a bad trailer! Just, as a trailer. Which is a specific kind of art form that can be done poorly or well and have no relationship to the movie it is promoting. Except for indicating the skill and understanding of the producers of the film for the product they have.
Continue readingThis is an out of date post from a couple years ago, but only out of date in that the “most recent” film choices are no longer most recent. And, like, Anushka wasn’t married yet. Otherwise it is still a great post for giving you an idea of the pattern most actresses follow in their careers and how they play out.
Continue readingPart 1 didn’t get as many comments as I expected, but it did get decent views, so I am moving on!
Continue readingIf I didn’t know where Imtiaz was heading, I would find this both better and worse. As in, I can watch it and see the hints of the irritating passive hero of Tamasha, but also the brilliant deep romance of Jab Harry Met Sejal. It’s an interesting one to look back on!
Continue readingNo one cares about this, do they? I am just so pleased with the idea that I want to write it down before I forget.
Continue readingHave I reviewed Main Hoon Na? I can’t remember. I know I did Om Shanti Om because Farah re-tweeted my review and that was cool. And I know I HAVEN’T done this movie, because I made a mental note that I hadn’t reviewed it a few months back. Anyway, I already reviewed a fascinating groundbreaking risky sexy feminist film Paap, today I will review a big dumb fun hit film with a neutral to anti-feminist message. Let’s see which gets more attention!
