NOTE THE TIME!!!! I’ve got a tight schedule tomorrow, so I have to bump from our usual 3pm to 4PM CHICAGO TIME TOMORROW instead. With that in mind, I am also leaning slightly shorter on our movies. It’s quite the mix here, all they have in common is that they are available streaming, and they make Margaret smile. Some of them also are Pride themed, but not all of them.

Happy Sonam’s Brithday! What Should We Watch for Her This Friday? Veere Di Wedding or Ek Ladki Ko Dekha to Aisa Laga, You Can Choose Only One!!!!!
No, Veere Di Wedding is still not on Prime or Netflix. But it is on Einthusan! And, I am guessing by process of elimination, Zee5 (hisssssssssssss!!! Eviiiiiiiiiilllll!!!!!). And Ek Ladki is still on Netflix.
Continue readingWatch Street Dancer 3D With Us Here! Starting at 3pm Chicago Time!
Yaaaaay, Street Dancer 3D!!!! The movie I left work early to see opening day and regret NOTHING. It is everything I could want from a dance themed story of diaspora identity struggle. Okay, not everything, there could be a little more romance.

Continue readingIf I Watch Kuch Kuch Hota Hai at Midnight Chicago Time Tonight, Could Anyone Join Me?
I’m having a weird weekend/day, and I’m thinking about staying up very late tonight (plus thunderstorms tonight which are going to keep me up late). Most importantly, I just learned Popka has never seen KKHH!!!! Can you imagine?????

Unless you think it is a brilliant perfect movie. Then it may not be better than you think, because it is definitely not perfect. But it is way better than reviews say!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Watch Befikre Here in 24 Hours!!!!
And Befikre is the winner! I was strongly tempted by Mohabbatein but then I got a couple of people who said “I absolutely will not watch that movie”, so Befikre won.
Continue readingAnswer Required!!!! If I Do an International Watchalong on Monday Morning/European Evening/Pacific Late Evening, Would You Join? Or Sunday Midnight/Europe Afternoon/Pacific Early Evening?
I feel bad with my routine mid-afternoon watchalongs that do not match up at all with European time zones, or Australian, or Japanese. I’ve got a holiday coming up on Monday the 25th, so I could do a bonus watchalong on an international schedule, if anyone is interested.

Obviously on Madhuri’s day, it has to be a Madhuri movie. And luckily (?), there are limited Madhuri options on Netflix and Prime. I will try to describe the options and, possibly, allow my prejudice to struggle through. Oh, and there are some movies I just didn’t even include.
