Saturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hang Out With a Small Child!
Happy Saturday! I was all set to spend the day doing a puzzle, and then my friend invited me over to hang out with her and her daughter and watch Christmas movies (so the daughter doesn’t notice her Dad is putting together a nursery for her impending little sister).
Continue readingThe 8 Abs of Hanukkah! But Who is the Brightest Light of Them All?????
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).

Happy Varun Week! What a delightful celebration we shall have. Thank goodness Varun’s filmography is almost 100% light and happy. Not necessarily “good”, but definitely light.
Continue readingSexy Saturday: Male and Female Gaze Defined and Discussed (Repost)
This is an off-shoot of my post on misogyny/objectification/patriarchy, in the comments there was a discussion of whether or not men are objectified in Indian film, which got me thinking about the “male” and “female” gaze questions.

Happy Monday! I have the annual quilting potluck and white elephant gift exchange tonight, and I have no idea what food to bring. Oh well, this is what grocery store deli sections are for.

Well, this was a silly silly movie! I feel kind of silly putting up a “spoiler” review, because it is hardly worth spoiling. But what the heck, might as well.
Continue readingPagalpanti Review (No Spoilers): No Sense for a Nonsense World
Boy was that a fun movie going experience! Sold out theater, everyone laughing, and complete utter entertaining stupidity.
Continue readingNRI Week: Dostana, Friendship is Fun and Fabulous
This is a movie that is endlessly enjoyable, if you don’t expect it to be realistic. Or logical. Or smart. It’s just Fun.
Continue readingTGIF: Women Objectifying Men
Pretty sure this is feminist and empowering and not, you know, bad. But even if it is bad, sometimes it’s good to be bad.
Continue readingWomen Directors Week: Paap, Pooja Bhatt Championing Female Desire
I’ve known about this movie for years and years and years, since college, but I had no idea how good it was. I wish I’d watched it ages ago! And I encourage all of you to see it.
Continue readingSilly Sunday! For Pride! Harsh Kapoor and Harsh Rane, Ranveer-Ranbir-Dips Love Triangle, Rajkummar-John-Vidya-Kareena Same Sex Quadrangle, Prithviraj-Tovino Village Romance, Aamir-John Abraham Long Time Lovers, and Arjun-Shahrukh (my favorite!)
Okay, I’m gonna be lazy and just use the stuff that came up in the comments of the discussion post asking for topics early this week.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Lots of Little Stories, Divorce and Injury and New Business!
This is the News Round-Up post I was going to put up yesterday, but then I did a silly TGIF instead. But now we can talk about it all Saturday! And I can do a bunch of tiny Saturday reports on news stories that aren’t important enough for a real post!
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Dishoom! So Silly, So Fun, So Dishoom-y
This is a very silly, very fun, very stupid movie. It may not be as brilliant and complex as some other films, but by golly the time just flies by while you are watching it! Oh, and this review needs some formatting fixes, I’ll do it soon, I just want to throw it up quick now before I take the dog for a walk.
Continue readingTGIW: A Nice Classy Post to Bring You Into the Holiday….Men Laying Down!!!!
Okay, how can I say this classily? There is a certain kind of pose which seems to say “yes, climb on top of me and enjoy yourself”. That is the kind of pose that I am looking for this week. You know, so you can pretend you are kneeling on top of them throwing rose petals or something in a chaste and romantic manner.
Saturday Small Talk: Let’s Chat the Day Away on Gulzar’s Birthday!
Happy Saturday! I woke up way too early and am trying to go back to sleep. But you folks can chat while I sleep (hopefully).
Saturday Small Talk: Talk Amongst Yourselves While I Watch Movies With My Sister
Happy Saturday! My sister is in town and, after spending the week with my parents, now we are having Sister Weekend. Which mostly means watching movies. Maybe a trip to the grocery store.
News Round-Up: John Talks Sarfarosh, Pa Ranjith Talks Hindi, Everyone Talks PC
Well, this is the gossip cycle that will never end. I don’t know why I am surprised, this is how it happens, right? The gossip comes out, and then everyone reacts to it, and then everyone reacts to the reactions. And I am part of the problem, because it is just barely on the line of affecting the industry and the big messages of stuff so I feel like I should talk about it. Oh, and also Pa Ranjith might make a Hindi film, yaaaaay!
Happy Police Day in Poland! From Shahrukh, Akshay, Shahid, Nivin, Ajay, John, Rani, and Others
I think maybe I should just accept that Tuesdays will always be horrible. After last week’s terrible Tuesday, I’m having another “can’t think straight because so much is happening” day at work. So I am going to be lazy and do a post just for Angie, National Police Day in Poland. Well, Angie and all of us who enjoy attractive movie stars in police uniform.
Silly Sunday: Ice Cream Themed! A Spy Movie with John and Prabhas and a Love Story with Shahrukh and Kajol
Happy Sunday! I have to go lead a meeting at church in a bit, but first I get to be totally frivolous and ridiculous with the Silly Sunday stories. Hopefully I don’t mix this up with my meeting agenda and accidentally start reading it aloud.
TGIF: National Ice Cream Day! Pick a Flavor For Our Favorite Stars
National Ice Cream Day is actually Sunday (ooo! FanFic theme?), but I am stealing it for today for TGIF. Because I love those “what food is your favorite star?” kind of posts!
Friday Not-So-Classic: Elaan, Because I Am Feeling John Abraham
The beauty of this movie, is that I can write about it very quickly. Because it is not worth a lot of words. The other beauty of this movie, is that 2 of the most attractive men in Indian film are in it, and also Rahul Khanna. And the third beauty of this movie is that it is smart enough to know how dumb it is. The best kind of dumb movie. And anyway, I have a semi-tradition of writing about bad movies on Friday the 13th.
