Happy Monday! So far today I fed the upstairs cats, fed Albie, cut up strawberries, and went to a doctor’s appointment. At this point, I feel like work-work is almost extra. I did SO MUCH!
Continue readingPC did an interview following the RRR Oscar win and associated fanfare, and promoting her new TV series, in which she gave her thoughts on the Indian film industry and so on. It’s a podcast and I can’t seem to find a full transcript anywhere, and I also can’t bring myself to listen to it, but I did see a few excerpts. Mostly I’m thinking “why is it that I find myself exhausted at the thought of doing more research into this? What is causing this fatigue?”
Continue readingI was soooooooooooo happy yesterday to discover that everyone else also had that creepy bad-liberal vibe from Kamal Haasan. And now I am curious about what other celebrities have given us a similar icky feeling just from interviews and things, not politics or police cases or performances.
Continue readingI really really don’t want to see this movie. So, I’m not gonna! No matter how much you ask me to! But I will put up a post space for those of you who did see it to discuss.
Continue readingI wasn’t going to do a mean wish, but then your comments helped guide me to how this can be a NOT mean wish.
Continue readingIt’s time to finalize our 2021 wishes! So we can write them down and burn them up at midnight on the 1st, or whatever ritual you want to do. I’m gonna have a series of more specific posts up over the next day or so, but I want to start us off with a big anything goes kind of brainstorming.
Continue readingIt’s Crocs Day! According to whoever it is that decides these national day things. Anyway, Crocs! Which I basically lived in for my last year pre-foot surgery, but now that my foot is healed, I get to wear pretty shoes again. And as we all know, Priyanka Chopra became Crocs brand ambassador recently which is just SO WEIRD.
Continue readingReally, First Review. I did a combined thing of Don 1 and Don 2 and a little bit Don Original, but I never did a review specifically of the Don 1 film.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am laying in bed with my foot elevated 8 inches above my hips thinking about how the heck I am going to get my morning coffee. That should keep me busy for a few hours at least, and in the meantime y’all can chat.
Continue readingI’m gonna do it, today is the day I finish the 22 episode very slow Pakistani serial Heer! And that’s pretty much it, my whole plan for the weekend.
Continue readingNo one cared about my Bad Girls Theme Month announcement, but maybe this will give you something more to talk about. What movies should I write about?
Continue readingThis is an out of date post from a couple years ago, but only out of date in that the “most recent” film choices are no longer most recent. And, like, Anushka wasn’t married yet. Otherwise it is still a great post for giving you an idea of the pattern most actresses follow in their careers and how they play out.
Continue readingI watched it! Because I love you all! And because I had a kind of sick curiosity for it. And because I knew there was a Chicago song.
Continue readingSuch an interesting man! His background is interesting, his early career and strange accidental fame is interesting, and he remains interesting to this day. Not always successful, not always likable, but interesting.
Continue readingThis was just such a freakishly good year! Some of the best work from multiple directors, Zoya’s best, Anurag Kashyap’s best, and now this one that I think is Vishal Bardwaj’s best.
Continue readingShoot, I was gonna be lazy and repost a review, and then I discovered I never actually reviewed this film. Oh well, I can still be kind of lazy, at least I don’t have to rewatch it, I’ve seen it enough to review it fine without a refresher.
Continue readingThis 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 readingInteresting, this film gives us 3 separate female leads, and each in a different phase of female life. And the one who is in the most typical filmi phase, Anushka as the “maiden”, actually gets the least amount of screentime.
Continue readingI put up my post asking what Shahrukh movie to review that I hadn’t reviewed yet and I included Don 1 and 2. And then thought, “wait, that doesn’t seem right.” And, it isn’t! I have in fact already reviewed them, I just completely forgot about it.
Continue readingPart 2! Not that these are less important stories, I just happened to write about them second.
Continue readingStill no really juicy news items, at least not my definition of juicy (stuff related to studio investment structures), but some stuff that is at least worth repeating.
Continue readingI’m ignoring the story about Kalank raising ticket prices because it includes super depressing comments like “movies are for rich people”. Instead, fun stories! PC with her usual ridiculous PR, Malaika and the wedding happy-happy, and a remake I am genuinely excited about.
Continue readingThis sounds really egotistical, but I have the most amazing hair you will ever see in your life. Like I said, egotistical. But actually, it’s just saying a fact. It’s amazing. I love going in for my annual trim, because everyone takes photos and applauds and it is generally good for the ego. Anyway, I am getting my semi-annual cut tonight and it seemed like a good theme for a TGIF post, women with awesome hair.
Continue readingUse your HEADS people!!!!!! Oh my gosh, twitter and rumors and stuff are flying about things that ONE SECOND of logical intelligent thought would show you are not real things. And also, I should maybe not read the news before having my coffee, because it just makes me too grumpy.
Continue readingCongrats, Priyanka! You’ve done it again, you’ve forced me to talk about you and all of us to think about you. And I was so happy just talking about my new dog! Speaking of, “Nick” as a dog name?
