Thank you Naina for suggesting this post! I wrote a post a few years back on how Shahrukh uses his sexuality onscreen and how it has developed, but it is time for an update based on his latest movies, especially Pathaan. (original post is here)

Happy Monday!!! I had cleaners come in this morning, which was AMAZING. All the grime of the kitchen deconstruction, neatly removed, and my house looks pleasant again. Well, until the next batch of workman come through and mess it up.
Continue readingInspired By Pathaan, Female Lead Spy Film for YRF Spy Universe! Aditya Chopra, Feel Free to Steal My Ideas!!!!
If YRF is going to do this whole “spy universe” thing, then they had BETTER give the women their own spin off! Katrina in the Tiger films and Dips in Pathaan both have really interesting strong characters, and great action moments, they can absolutely handle their own movie.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Double XXL? Eega? Neal n’ Nikki? Something for Dips?

Yes, this does include Pathaan! Because the songs came out this year. I know, we didn’t really like them, but if you are an SRK TruFan, you can still vote for them.
Continue readingCirkus Review (No Spoilers): For Once, Gay Does Not Equal Good
I had a lovely evening at the theater, mostly because I went on a weeknight so it was just me and my friend and we could talk the whole time. I highly recommend talking straight through this movie, the bits that it is fun to talk over are way more common than the bits it is fun to watch. Despite the fact that it is a very very gay/camp movie which you would think means it is entertaining.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Day After a NEW SRK SONG Released????
Happy Monday!!!! Today I leave work early to do a first round of Christmas package mailing! I don’t have everything ready yet, but I had a magical realization that I can just mail some stuff! So it feels less overwhelming next weekend.
Continue readingWhy People Hate Ranbir Kapoor, a Very Long Detailed Chronological Discussion!
I was talking with my friend yesterday about how hating Ranbir makes us all so happy, and it made me think that I should repost something to sort of give background on how myself and our small community has for a while been seeing him as a little toxic.

Oh, I am SO EXCITED to talk about this plot! And the clever little ways it pays homage to film classics. And also, how Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor were INSANELY beautiful.
Continue readingGehraiyaan Review (No Spoilers): Cassavetes Crossed With Hitchcock
I feel bad using two Western references instead of desi. I suppose I could have said Vijay Anand crossed with Mahesh Bhatt. But this is a Shakun Batra movie, he’s alllllllllll about the Western style filmmaking and it really is more tied to Cassavetes and Hitchcock than anything in Hindi cinema.
Continue readingFriday/Saturday WatchAlong: Dips and Rahman Week! XXX Return of Xander Cage, Tamasha, 99 Songs, Mersal, what else?
It’s Deepika/AR Rahman week! So many movie options! And of course, their one collaboration, “Tamasha”.

Yes! An old review! But a good movie, and one that might be interesting to talk about again as Brahmastra creaks towards a release with the same star and director/writer.

Happy 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 readingYRF is Leaking News Because They Want Our Opinion on a Potential New Shahrukh Film, What Do We Think?
If 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.
