A bit of a tricky one.  I feel like I can’t just ignore it, but I’m also not sure I really know him well enough to do a good post.  If he were a real life person, he would be one that I just make 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies and a card for his birthday, because everyone likes cookies.  Not like a good friend that I actually make something real for (oh! That reminds me, my best friend’s birthday is in a few weeks, I have to get to work!).  So I’ll do the blog post equivalent of 2 dozen cookies, and just throw together a dozen reasons I love him.

Like I said yesterday, I am being lazy this weekend, because it’s summer and a feel like it.  So, I am splitting a movie post into two pieces, and I am pulling from an old email to fill it out.  But whatever, it’s a really good movie!  And it’s been a while since I posted about a Telugu film, so it was time.

I was just searching through my email for something else, and I ran across the many many many things I had to say after I watched Mirchi for the first time last year.  Mirchi was my first “real” Telugu movie, not counting Bahubaali.  And I loved it, and it also inspired many many thoughts in my head.  So, since it is a lazy summer weekend, I am going to be lazy and just copy my emails, and split my thoughts into 2 posts over today and tomorrow.

Varsham: See, in America, a Movie in the Rain Would be Sad. But here, Not So Much!

I saw Varsham!  The same day as Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which was weird since they are very different movies who share an actress playing two very different heroines.  But I think I liked Varsham better.  At least, “liked” as in “willing to rewatch it multiple times and happy while viewing it.”  Not so much “liked” as in “thought it was actual a deep and rewarding film with multiple layers and messages.” Continue reading →

Bujjigadu: Yes, sometimes I just like watching a big fun Telugu movie

So, I’ve been writing about and watching a lot of Malayalam films.  But those aren’t appropriate for every situation.  For instance, when I have a bunch of friends over who want to talk over/about a movie while we are watching it.  In that case, I basically limit it to movies I have already seen on my own with complete and total focus, and also movies that still work even if you are wandering in and out of the room and telling me about how your classes are going and asking if you can make popcorn.  So, last week we watched Magadheera (3rd time for me, 1st time with others in the room) and this week we watched Bijjugadu (4th time for me, 1st time with others in the room).
