I guess also music album/stage show. Anything you think about obsessively, talk about excessively, and so on and so forth, until you are over it all of a sudden and it becomes this nice nostalgic piece of your past.

Continue readingFilm of the Decade: Bahubali or Not Bahubali?
Really, there’s only one contender here. It’s Bahubali, or Other. And if it’s Other, you better be ready to defend your choice.
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 readingHappy Birthday Shahrukh! A Totally Brand New Jab Harry Met Sejal Review, as a Special Present to Us All!!!!
I am going to try super super super hard to write a totally new take on JHMS. After the thousands of words I have already written, this is going to be almost impossible. But I believe I can do it!
Continue readingUpcoming Movie Reviews! Premam, Chaahat, Ra.One, and Jab Harry Met Sejal (a new one!)
That Premam review is just for funsies, to try to get more people to watch it now that it is on Prime. But the other three are the last of our Shahrukh celebrations (so sad!).
Continue readingDirectors Week: Imtiaz, and Imtiaz and Ranbir
I was gonna write about Imtiaz, but then I realized I really had to write about two directos. One for Imtiaz and Ranbir, one for Imtiaz and anyone else.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Brief “Hawayein” Analysis
This is a little treat for those of you who like this kind of thing, a deep intense consideration of a small moment of SRK screen time.
Continue readingFemale Films Week: Movies To Start a Discussion about Women’s Issues
I like discussions! And maybe this post will start one, or maybe it will just give you a watching list the next time you want to sit down with your daughter or mother or sister or husband or friends and have a wide-ranging “no right answer” consideration of complex issues related to women.
Continue readingNRI Week: Sangam, DDLJ, and Jab Harry Met Sejal, the Evolution of the European Tour
This isn’t a list of every single Indian film with a European section, just the three most interesting ones from the Hindi industry. And the connections I find between them.

I has another thought! And I think it is a good thought, but maybe you will disagree. Or maybe you will have more thoughts.
Continue readingVital Question: Which is the Sexiest Shahrukh Song?
I suspect some of you will have STRONG OPINIONS on this question. I also feel like maybe I have done this post before? Or something similar? Anyway, it is a vital question that deserves constant revisiting and revising. And since tastes differ, it is also a question that should spark some interesting and enlightening discussion!

It’s here! It’s all here!
New Jab Harry Met Sejal Discussion Post! (remember, you can watch it with me on twitter starting at 2pm Chicago time TODAY, Use Hashtags #JHMS and #DCIB)
Happy Jab Harry Met Sejal day! Shahrukh may not have a Diwali release this year, but that just means we get to keep up the celebration for his last film. I’ll be reposting some of my reviews, and the index of coverage, and of course the tweetalong starts at 2pm.
Jab Harry Met Sejal First Review RePost! There Was So Much I Missed on the First Watch! (Tweetalong watchalong today at 2pm Chicago Time! Look for #JHMS and #DCIB !)
DISCLAIMER: This was written after my first watch. It took my second watch to understand some of the film, and it took my 3rd watch to really see it for what it was, and it took my 4th watch and my scene by scene to fully appreciate it. Anyway, an interesting time capsule of a first response!
No Spoilers review is already up, time for SPOILERS! And then, sometime next week, I start the slow crawl through the scene by scene. Because yes, this movie is good enough to deserve it. Oh, and also good enough that you shouldn’t SPOIL yourself if you are planning to watch it. Not super super good, I don’t want to oversell it, but good enough that it is worth avoiding spoilers.
Silly Sunday: JHMS Themed! What Would Have Happened if Harry and Sejal Met Earlier? Or Later? Or Just Different?
I wasn’t going to do a Sunday post this week, but I need a break from writing reviews that I should be writing and it is just so refreshing to do fanfic for a bit. Plus, I love Harry and Sejal!
The Most Imaginative Song Sequences in Hindi Film in Recent Years
Well, I’m having a rumpled start to the week! Karan sent out an embarrassingly sycophantic tweet this morning, there’s a final warm spell hitting Chicago which is making me not able to sleep, the elevator is broken (again) at work so I have to keep running up and down the really abnormally steep stairs, and my boss gave Dog Hazel some food she shouldn’t eat which wasn’t a big deal except that I had to tell my boss not to do that, which was an awkward upturning of our usual power structure (he’s in charge of me, but I’m in charge of Dog Hazel). Anyway, time for a soothing interesting post with a lot of great things to watch in it.
