You 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.

Discussion Post: Inside Insiders, Versus Outside Insiders, Versus Outside Outsiders, or Ranbir Versus Ranveer Versus Ayushmann
Thank 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 readingWhat Do You Want For Christmas From DCIB? Post Suggestions/Requests For the Next Few Weeks!
Well, 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 readingDiscussion Post: What Jodi Do We Want to See as Siblings? Alternatively, What Jodi Do We NOT Want to See as Siblings?
Thank you Filmikudhi!!!! Great discussion question, I appreciate it and am using it and am curious what others will answer.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Which of These Onscreen Couples Had Sex and Which Remained Chaste?
It’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 reading2010 Discussion Post: My Name is Khan, What Made You Ugly Cry and What Made You Giggle?
Such 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.
Continue readingHappy Juhi Week! Every Film Where You Would Have Made a Better Lead Actress
This is a silly silly post. But it’s cold, and work is INSANE today. Let’s talk about all the movies where we really wish Juhi could have been the lead actress instead of the lead actress we actually got. Or at least would enjoy seeing her version as an alternative.
Continue readingVote Here! Which Juhi Movie(s) Should I Review For Juhi Week?
I can’t decide! Help me! I’ve seen a whole bunch that I haven’t fully reviewed and I can do a quick rewatch and throw up a review. But which ones????
Continue readingDiscussion Post: How Ready Are We to Cheat? Which of These Movies Had Us Rooting For the Characters to Do the Wrong Thing?
I was just thinking about English-Vinglish again and how ready I am for Sridevi to walk out on her husband for Hot French Dude. And then I started to wonder if I am alone in this?
Continue readingRecommendations Needed! Movies With Bad Bosses, Movies For When You Are Sick, Action Movies for Kids!
I had three separate “what should I watch?” questions on the Monday post, and I want to throw them out to all of you! Let’s crowdsource these suckers.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Indian Movie Character/Celebrity Do You Want as Your Boss? Or Not Want as Your Boss?
Inspired by a question from Procrastinatrix, I got to think about boss’ in Indian film. Mostly they are pretty awesome, and in fact I wouldn’t mind working for any of them!
Continue readingMonth of SRK: 10 SRK Discussion Questions!
Oh boy, TEN separate discussion questions! And you can pick any of them to talk about, or all. And I will have to think up ten questions, so that’s gonna be hard.
Continue readingThought Post: Why Do We Like SlashFic FanFic?
This is barely a thought I thought, but I still wanted to share the thought I thought I thought.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Pick Your Hrithik!
Hrithik just posted a work out video, because he loves us. And because he thinks everyone is as fascinated by working out as he is.
Continue readingImportant Discussion Question: What Young Actor Smolders?
I like it when we can address and solve these complicated issues, just in case someone from the Indian film industry needs help with these questions and stumbles across DCIB.
Continue readingPick a Plot! Three Same-Sex Family Story American Classics You Should All Watch, and Consider the Remakes
Silly post, but I’m running late this morning and I just wanted to throw up something silly. Mostly this is a recommendation post for three really great American family films that happen to revolve around homosexuality. One of my earliest memories is my mother and the video store clerk bonding over how ridiculous it is that The Birdcage is rated “R” since it is one of the most loving and warm family films to ever come out of Hollywood. Along with The Birdcage, you should also watch Kissing Jessica Stein and In and Out because they are all wonderful and loving and warm family movies. And then we can all recast them for India.
Continue readingDiscussion Question: What Indian Actors/Actresses Have Gotten More Attractive With Age? Ajay Devgan, Dimple Kapadia, Who Else?
You should all be very proud of me, I managed to finish my library book on kindle before midnight tonight when the library will magically take it away. And now it is too late for me to think through a serious “real’ blog post, so you will have to be happy with a non-real one.
Continue readingThree Important Discussion Questions: Hair, Tiger, and Birthday Presents
I was up way too late last night watching Student of the Year 2 with my friend Dina. So now I am stumbling through the morning, but I have 3 vital questions you all can discuss while I try to wake up.
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Why is Ranbir Kapoor Such a Disaster for a Movie?
Somehow since my Rockstar review, this has turned into “pile on to Ranbir” week. And I decided, let’s lean into that and keep it going!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Rank Shahrukh’s Heroines!
Oh boy, this should be fun! I feel like maybe we did it already at some point, but even if we did, it is worth revisiting.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: In What Movie Was He the Best Husband/Boyfriend/Partner? In Which the Worst?
You ready to make an objective judgement? We already had the “which Shahrukh do you want to marry” question a while back (which descended in to anarchy once the element of money/house was added, we all want the Goa house). No, this is purely objectively looking at his behavior as a life partner, in which film is he the BEST life partner?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Thought Post: Sex, Power, and Romance
I had another thought! Well actually, Rachel had a thought on this post and I replied to it, and then I kept on thinking. Anyway, thoughts! About sex! And also power and romance.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Why Has He Gotten Sexier as He Has Gotten Older?
You ready to put on your thinking caps? This is a question that has puzzled the global community for years, but I have faith in the power of crowdsourcing, I believe our team of experts can answer this underlying Question of the Universe. Just like genome code mapping.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Most Romantic Shahrukh Scene, What is Your Choice?
I put up two really really good posts discussing Shahrukh’s appeal in a broader sense, but those aren’t garnering many comments. I choose to think because they are so brilliant no one has anything to say in response. So now I am going to put up a totally silly post on which all of us should have an opinion.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: What is Your Happiness Shahrukh Khan Song?
It is extremely hot here, which also means I have gotten very little sleep for the past couple nights. So no deep thought post today, silly post! And anyway, I spent forever on the Deep Thought post yesterday, and it’s still got almost no views, so what’s the point?
