Yes, it is time for me to do another Hanukkah post! Something with 8, oil, and a little bit of Jewishness….ABS! Including ARK! Yes, this is a perfectly respectful and appropriate post for the holiday. At least, I am pretty sure the DCIB Hanukkah celebrants won’t complain (just as the DCIB Easter celebrants never mind my annual “hot Jesus” post).
Continue readingWoo-hoo! You know it’s a holiday when we get to watch a cheesy stupid 2000s Hrithik movie!!!!
Continue readingThis is gonna be a fun one for me to write, and a useful one for some of you. Thanks for the suggestion Catherine!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I’m at my parents’ today, planning to do a Costco run first thing this morning, and then make them play Trivial Pursuit this afternoon, the NEW game, where they can’t win just because all the questions were written before I was born.
Continue readingIt’s fountain pen day! What a random holiday. Anyway, an excuse for photos of people holding pens.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I was beginning to feel moss growing on me, so I decided to do a long meandering drive today. Just to shake out the cobwebs. That’s my big plan for the day, fun fun!
Continue readingWoo-hoo! Such a happy movie for a happy day! Well, for a stressy day that will become happy because of the movie (I don’t know about you, but the last couple weeks before daylight savings ends when I wake up before the sun makes me NUTTY).
Continue readingWoo-hoo, we are watching War again! Terrible title, great movie. Starting at 3pm like usual, on Friday like usual.
Continue readingThe world is a sea of possibilities! Nothing is certain, even the Friday WatchAlong day! Help me gain structure in my life and plan for the future.
Continue readingYes! It’s true! We are finally watching Bang Bang! I was waiting in desperate hope if it appearing back on Netflix or Prime or something, but that’s never gonna happen. So we are einthusaning it!
Continue readingIt’s been 20 years now, this movie has been made fun of and rehashed and ridiculed over and over, it’s easy to forget what a massive industry changing international hit it was when it first released.
Continue readingSorry sorry, forgot to put up this post until the last minute! Not to worry, it is here now.
Continue readingIt’s Friday! I’ve had a long week! Let’s be silly.
Continue readingNo one else really seemed to care, so FilmiKudhi wins! By default! I would rather make one person very VERY happy, then many people sort of okay happy.
Continue readingIt’s Edgar Rice Burroughs birthday! He wrote the Tarzan books, which I love. And he is from Chicago, which makes him even better. And a distant connection was married to his great great grandson, who was completely boring and respectable and Old Money since the family kind of forgot all their wealth came from cheap dime novels after a few generations.
Continue readingIt’s Jim Sarbh’s birthday week! And also, Vaani Kapoor! Two actors who have been in two DCIB all time favorites. But which should we watch this week?
Continue readingYou know how you find someone you like, and then you are inspired/obsessed with watching every film they have ever been in? Share your stories! Who was it, when was it, why did you get tired and stop?
Continue readingMujshe Dosti Karoge is turning 18! If it were a person, it would be old enough to vote. But probably shouldn’t vote, because it is by turns bonkers and stupid. Which is, of course, why it is a DCIB favorite.
Continue readingHappy Friendship Day! According to the made up holiday calendars by which florists live their lives and therefore just sent me an email alerting me!
Continue readingDon’t feel limited! If there are remarkable social media posts you feel I am missing, then throw them into the mix in the comments.
Continue readingAll around good performances in this movie, especially Hrithik. But Naseeruddin is something special, giving us a whole character in just a few minutes of screentime.
Continue readingThere are so many great song options for float themes, if you were to be in charge of making a Pride float using a Hindi film song. I’m gonna start us off with 3 songs and you can add on whatever else you can think of, or pick from these three.
Continue readingOops, I’m two days late on Ameesha. Oh well, she keeps changing the spelling of her name, I can’t be expected to keep track of her.
Continue readingAlbie Dog has decided his new morning routine is to have breakfast, and then pee on the floor. The first time it happened was absolutely my fault, I skipped a walk and he was desperate. But I think his doggie brain then went “hey, this is a good system, I should keep doing this”. Anyway, I had an unpleasant start to the day and now want to think about pleasant things as a distraction. So, Aditya Chopra’s Heroes!
Continue readingI’m finally getting around to the non-Shahrukh “I For India” performances. No one is what I would call “good”, but they are trying, and that’s what matters. Sort of. Also, here’s Preity to cheer us up.
