It is inarguable that Sridevi was the greatest female star India will ever see. Dominating every major industry simultaneously, and making it look easy. But there are other female stars too! Let’s pick our favorites.
Continue readingBed, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! I’ve been going along mostly okay for a month and a half without a bed, but last night it just really got to me. The sofa at the lake house, the floor bed bedroll, they just aren’t the same. I want a REAL bed. And today, I get one! Unless the delivery is delayed! In which case, I cry!
Continue readingI know, I’m just all over the map. But I’ve got soooooooooo many things I’m juggling right now! Dishwasher was delivered, painter has started, bed is coming tomorrow (knock on wood), and sink is still lost somewhere in the world but I have a plumber scheduled for Tuesday because I am counting on having it by then. Anyway, tomorrow I will get up early, walk Albie Dog, buy cleaning supplies to scrub out the kitchen cupboards really really good because the TRASH PEOPLE left all their stuff behind (broken bread machine, full set up silverware, plastic bags of things I couldn’t identify), and then settle in to watch a nice movie with you.
Continue readingHome ownership is HARD y’all!!! I was up at 5am today because it was supposed to rain and I had to bring my yard waste bags into the garage, and then it didn’t rain. What with one thing and another, totally forgot about the watchalong this week. And yet, also really really want a watchalong!
Continue readingThis was actually on Friday I think, but this week has been so crazy, I missed it. But Himesh seems like a pretty lowkey dude and won’t care.
Continue readingMy parents made me watch a movie from their Youth last night and gosh darn it, I liked it. I resent it so much when my parents make me watch things and then I like them. Also, hummus. I was perfectly happy not liking hummus without tasting it until they made me taste it. Anyway, the movie is Starting Over and it’s a really simple idea of a man trying to figure out his life post-divorce.
Continue readingI put in that Govinda one just to make Popka happy. But now she has to tell us who would be the Govinda jodi person, because I don’t know.
Continue readingOkay, this is the review to read if you don’t want to see the movie but are curious. Or if you have seen the movie wand want to discuss it.
Continue readingIf you are considering watching this movie and want a sense of what it is like before making your decision, I am here for you! If you have seen this movie and want to talk about it, wait a second, I’ll be putting up another post in a second.
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day and eating cake and spoiling yourself. And as a thank you for being such a nice enthusiastic new commenter, here is my gift: a new section of DDLJ.
Continue readingThis was the first big movie to come out after I started blogging, so I hadn’t really figured out how I was going to structure reviews or anything. Which means the existing reviews are fun, but kind of a confusing hodge podge. Time to do better!
Continue readingRemember, Happy Place Rules! Which is really hard with this movie, so I almost decided to skip reposting this review. But that felt wrong, so I am reposting. But with a reminder of Happy Place Rules. So you can skip reading this to protect your Happy Place, and if you comment, you have to find an inspiring/cheerful take in order to protect all of us in our Happy Place.
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 readingI like polls, but I refuse to use the polls built in tool. I want you to comment so you can say more if you like, and I can ask follow up questions, not just pick something on a list (boring!).
Continue readingSecond general Kuch Kuch post! Oh man, I am so happy just rereading this. KKHH is really my happy place.
Continue readingI haven’t done a for real review of this movie, but I did a series of theme posts a few years back on it. I’m gonna post the two most general of those posts and we will see if people care enough to inspire me to post the others.
Continue readingLet’s check in on the world of light celebrity content and see what we can find! Nothing will ever be as good as Harshwardhan’s essay about “sneaker culture”, but I can always hope.
Continue readingI am going so much faster through this movie than Baazigar! And of course there’s no comparison with how slooooooooooooow I went through JHMS, once we get there.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Kajol! I love you, even if not everyone does. And I think not everyone does because maybe not everyone remembers what you used to be.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And Happy Birthday Kajol! To celebrate, I am hosting a virtual movie night where we will not be watching a Kajol movie. Oh well, at least we will probably do a Shahrukh film, which is almost the same.
Continue readingI love escaping to a world of 12 years old, when your parents had the house and food and clothes and stuff responsibilities, and you just had to solve mysteries and fight and make up with friends and so on. Usually I escape in bookform (Trixie Belden, woot-woot!), but there are two high quality TV shows (like, seriously high quality, not just kids shows) that I have been saving for a special occasion and now I am binging and I DESPERATELY want them remade in India. Only with the focus on the parents.
Continue readingDiscussion time! No wrong answer here, just personal stories/opinions.
Continue readingIs “kuch kuches” the plural, do we think? Or is “kuch kuchi” better? I’ll leave it like this, but feel free to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments!
Continue readingI forgot about this, I wrote a whole bunch of specific KKHH analysis posts. We had such fun watching it together on Saturday night, and it’s Karan Johar week, so I thought I would put them up again.
Continue readingWe discovered last week that Aditya Chopra doesn’t actually do “sexy” well. But, in contrast, I think Karan really REALLY does. Question is, which is his best sexiest pairing?
