Happy Autumnal Equinox! For once it is truly the start of fall in Chicago, it was 80 degrees yesterday and dropped to 60 today, and looks generally gorgeous outside. Makes me excited about staying in and watching a cozy movie this weekend.
Continue readingI’ve decided to be totally selfish. I’ve been wanting to see Signature Move for ages, and I like watching movies on Saturday mornings. And it’s only 90 minutes, so even if no one else shows up, I will be happy talking to myself for 90 minutes (more than that and it gets weird).
Continue readingIt’s Shabana Azmi’s birthday weekend! Which means we have every genre and era of film available to us!
Continue readingOkay, weekend watchalong! Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (American 3 day weekend, woot). And I don’t have to make any decisions, because it is Shelomit’s late birthday celebration weekend. Shelomit! You pick!
Continue readingWooo, let’s do another watchalong! And it’s Sridevi Weekend, so we gotta do one of her films. Call me crazy, but I’m feeling SNAKE-Y!
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I did soooooooooooooooo much yesterday. Cleared out the basement storage unit, did a big grocery shop, made a costume for my friend, returned a library book, bought seeds, just EVERYTHING. And now I feel achey and lazy and am very excited to sit at home and watch a movie with y’all.
Continue readingYes, we are doing a watchalong again! I picked a movie I haven’t seen, that has dogs, and which is fairly short. So that should be painless, right? And Albie Dog will like it.
Continue readingI’m sick, but I still want to do a watchalong! Partly because I have to be all isolated so I need virtual company.
Continue readingI am giving you NO options this week! It’s my way or the highway! Because I am planning ahead and since my housemates both got sick in turn, and now I have a scratchy throat, I am anticipating sickness.
Continue readingMy office is short staffed this week, so I’ve been a bit work-swamped. Especially since I had to take 2 and a half hours off yesterday for stupid Albie Dog’s vet visit to confirm he just had an upset tummy. Anyway, sorry! This is super last minute! And it has to be Saturday or Sunday or something, because I’m working late Friday.
Continue readingHappy Shashi Day! I am supposed to be off work early on Fridays, but I had to cover for co-workers so I ended up working until just now. I am sooooooooooo happy to be off work and goofing off with y’all instead.
Continue readingTomorrow is Shashi Day!!! So we have to watch a Shashi film, obviously. And Suhaag seems to be the general favorite/easiest to find. In America it’s for rent on youtube, in other places it’s free.
Continue readingHas to be Friday, because I am going to a concert on Friday, woot! Meaning I will need/want to sleep in on Saturday. But also, Friday is SHASHI DAY ITSELF. So we have to celebrate.
Continue readingThis is, inarguably, the best bad movie Aamir was ever in. So I think we should appreciate it especially on this, Aamir week. Also, it was the only movie I could find that was short enough I could squeeze it in before going to see Radha Shyam.
Continue readingI’m trying to see Radhe Shyam on Friday, and the showtimes are NOT working with watchalong. And we can’t do Saturday because Filmikudhi has a baby and Genevieve has a concussion. So I have retreated to the shortest Aamir movie I can think of, which is also excellently entertaining.
Continue readingI know I know, everyone wants to do Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ke. Which has, irrationally, made me NOT want to pick it. This is the same reason I never sew with a thimble. Because my mother tells me to sew with a thimble. Anyway, there are other Aamir Options!
Continue readingIt’s grey and getting colder outside, but inside things are HEATING UP. We are watching the Chippendales movie!
Continue readingYes! Doing it! We are watching the Chippendales original movie at 3pm today! And then, if anyone wants to, we will watch it again at 4:10! I’m excited about this. A lost moment of American history, from which we will all Learn and Grow.
Continue readingOkay, I have been fantasizing about doing this, and I’m having a really hard time with seasonal affective disorder this week, so we are just DOING it!!!!
Continue readingOkay, let’s do this thing! What do we watch this weekend? And when? Friday or Saturday?
Continue readingI am just so so so so SO excited to share this film with all of you! Naseeruddin Shah plays twins, one evil and one stupid. And there’s enchanted anklets. And, my favorite part, a random goose! I don’t care that the whole reason I was scheduling it this week was that it is on youtube and now it isn’t, I STILL WANT TO SEE IT! We will survive with einthusan.
Continue readingThis is wonderful! Shemaroo is releasing so many movies all at once on their youtube channel! We have a great smorgasbord of funky old Masala.
Continue readingHappy Saturday!!! Time to watch a bad 90s movie while we all have coffee and wake up!
Continue readingYou’ve worn me down! I am willing to consider Hum Hain Rahe Pyar Ki. Yes yes, joy joy, excitement and celebration. BUT! It is also Bappi’s week, can we really forsake him utterly? Shouldn’t we at least consider Disco Dancer?
Continue readingWoot! Watchalong! What a wonderful way to welcome my return to blogging! Especially this nice dopey over the top movie.
