Not “best”. If I say “best”, everyone’s gonna be all “1950s! Guru Dutt! Raj Kapoor! Giants walked the earth!” And of course that’s true. But was it really FUN back then? With all that exhausting depth and brilliance flying around everywhere?
Continue readingSuggestion from Shreyans Goenka, what are all the movies we can think of where the happy ending comes because God intervenes?
Continue readingWe already did “real” couple friends, these are fictional couples! The pretend people in movies that, after the movie is over and they get married and move into the house down the street from you, you might want to befriend.
Continue readingI think this is the general DCIB favorite hero type. We do like our sweet men. Well, you like your sweet men, I am more of an Alpha person in my fantasies. But in the right situation, I can see the appeal of a nice Beta.
Continue readingFollow up to the “girl crush” post! By the way, these posts are getting more traffic than anything else I am putting up (why does no one want to play Antakshari???) so if you have more general ideas for questions, lay them on me!
Continue readingCinemapremam asked on my “are you an Alpha, Beta, or Zeta lover?” post if I could help her think of more “zeta” style lovers, and now I am blanking. Can you help?
Continue readingDo we all understand the concept of “girl crush”? Someone you aren’t sexually attracted to, but you think they are just really REALLY cool and you want to hang out with them and eat ice cream and be best friends.
Continue readingI am living with my parents for…..ever? Anyway, a long time at least. What can we watch as a family of an evening?
Continue readingA challenge! Who are the folks that physically, and spiritually, are equally attractive to you? Or unattractive, we can go both ways.
Continue readingThe reverse of the morning’s discussion post! Who are the people you have a crush on purely because their personality is so awesome even if you don’t like their looks?
Continue readingWoo-hoo, discussion post!!!! I love discussion posts. Because then you all DISCUSS! While I maybe go back and take another nap after a weird exhausting weekend.
Continue readingHappy 27th Birthday Alia! You don’t get a special post of any kind (maybe tomorrow) because I got like 4 hours of sleep last night, and the night before, and I have that kind of physical grief hangover thing. Like, I’m not upset my aunt is dead, because it happened months ago after months of sickness, but it’s still A Thing to go see her buried and clean out her house and stuff. I told you all that’s why I was taking a train trip this weekend, right? Anyway, Alia gets a discussion post instead.
Continue readingThis is a fun off-shoot of this post, in which I described (as I saw them) the three types of romantic fantasy men in Indian film. But let’s make this fun and turn it into one of those silly magazine quizzes! Are you an Alpha, Beta, or Zeta lover? (this is a repost from Christmas a few years back, but it seemed like a cool idea for now!)
Continue readingHow are these discussion posts getting more traffic than anything else I have put up in weeks???? Is it possible we are all terribly shallow? Naaaaaaah, surely not!
Continue readingOkay, a post where I am NOT including Sid Malhotra. Or anyone like him. No youthful regular featured folks here! Let your freak flag fly.
Continue readingI already did “not very famous”, but this is something slightly different. These people may or may not be famous, and they have no talent, but we like them anyway. Why???
Continue readingThis is really a service to the World, we can provide all kinds of useful feedback to the filmmakers of India. They just have to find this blog and read our suggestions.
Continue readingSilly light post while we recover from partying last night. No big thoughts, no objective reasons, just remember happy movie moments from 2019.
Continue readingIt’s after 4pm so I have once again entered The Dark Times. Let’s cheer ourselves up with a fun and fruitful discussion! Which Shahrukh song, to you, most embodies your favorite parts of Christmas?
Continue readingYou know how during SRK month I have a warning that we are in a place of SRK love not hate? I think I have to put an opposite warning on this post, we are in a place of Ranbir hate not like/love/or tolerate.
Continue readingThank you FilmiKudhi for the idea! I suspect/hope this will turn into a heated discussion simply because when we have had similar debates in the comments, it has always gotten heated. So, prepare to battle!
Continue readingWell, it has begun, the Dark Times. As everyone flutters about doing things in the meat world with family and friends and so on over the holidays, poor me in the digital world is left behind, forgotten. Which can also be seen as an opportunity for really weird posts no one else will care about.
Continue readingThank you Filmikudhi!!!! Great discussion question, I appreciate it and am using it and am curious what others will answer.
Continue readingIt’s really not an important question, I am aware. But then, that’s what makes it so fun to discuss! Also, it’s so overcast here today that it legitimately does not look like the sub has come up. I need something dumb and frivolous to talk about!
Continue readingSuch an odd movie. I’ve yet to show it to someone who didn’t end up a sobbing broken mess by the end. Or to someone who didn’t giggle a bit at a scene here or there. The odd thing is, the “sobbing broken” moments and the “giggle” moments seem slightly different for each person.
