Pathaan!!!!! Normally I’d say “if no one shows up in 15 minutes, I’ll cancel”. But I’ve been looking forward to watching this, so I don’t care if no one shows up, I’ll just happily watch by myself.

Going for my third viewing tonight, but I think many of you have already lapped me in terms of how much you’ve seen it, and you’ve all pretty much done better than me in reading about it! So, let’s pool our opinions and knowledge 🙂
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Last Day of January???
Happy Monday! I am so glad I got through January. Ugh, the month after Christmas is the WORST. Next Month we have Valentine’s Day, and I get to visit my friend in California again at the end of the month, so that’s something to look forward to.

This is a request of Filmikudhi, who has SWORN she has things to add! Honestly, I only caught a couple myself, but it does FEEL like if there were more, lots of little background things I didn’t notice fast enough.
Continue readingInspired By Pathaan, Female Lead Spy Film for YRF Spy Universe! Aditya Chopra, Feel Free to Steal My Ideas!!!!
If YRF is going to do this whole “spy universe” thing, then they had BETTER give the women their own spin off! Katrina in the Tiger films and Dips in Pathaan both have really interesting strong characters, and great action moments, they can absolutely handle their own movie.
Continue readingPathaan Review (SPOILERS!): An Elderly Humanist Action Hero Who is Also Sexy!
I’m gonna spoil this movie, but you can’t really spoil it. It’s all about the crazy action moments and sexy chemistry and stuff. You may actually WANT to spoil yourself, so you can relax about any perceived jingoistic plot twists, and how the romance happens, and those stressful things.

Woot!!! A good fun silly entertainer, with SRK charm bringing it to a WHOLE new level. The King is BACK!!!
Continue readingPathaan Quickie Review: Counting It Down By the Numbers!
I’ll right a slightly longer review in a minute, and then a much longer review with spoilers, and then possibly a much MUCH longer review with scene by scenes (but maybe not, it’s not really that kind of movie). But for now, having just gotten home, I want to simply give the broad strokes of the experience by the numbers.

IT’S NEW SRK MOVIE DAY!!!! I am SO HAPPY! It’s been SO LONG!!!! Plus, I took the day off work so I get to generally pamper myself in addition to movie watching.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to ONE WEEK BEFORE PATHAAN?
Happy Wednesday! A week from today I take a day off work and go see Pathaan the very earliest show I can manage. And then see it again in the evening with friends who were too foolish to take the day off work.

This message comes to you from The Past. I wrote a post so I could just slam the link to the trailer into it once it releases and I could go to bed, perchance to sleep.

Oh yeah, old school Hindi Film 101! One of those where I go back back back in time because it’s important to have the proper grounding.

What a wonderful thing to wake up to!!! And thank you Claudia for posting the first alert. I like it better than “Besheram Rang” partly because of no-wig, but also other reasons.
Continue readingNew SRK Song Trailer!!!!! Besheram Rang! I Stayed Up Late For It!!!!
Woot! So excited to have something to be excited about! I stayed up late special for this release, and wrote most of this post in advance so I could just plug in the link.

Over the past few weeks, gaaaaaaah! Life is crazy!!! So I haven’t really sat down and concentrated on something to review-review since Ms Marvel. But there are some random things I can talk about just to get a post up and get my brain working again.
Continue readingNew SRK Trailer! And in Other News, I Don’t Think He is Running His Twitter Any More, Boo
Woot, teaser trailer and release date announcement! As I suspected, YRF was trying to avoid a Brahmastra and didn’t want to announce ANYTHING until they successfully managed to finish filming during pandemic, and were able to pick a safe theatrical release date. Better to wait and then announce one time, for sure and certain, then go to early and have to keep changing it.
