Well, now we have a hint of plot. And it’s not….great. You know what is missing? A sense of humor. You have to have a sense of humor in these kinds of things or it just doesn’t work. You need that classic Marvel acknowledgement meta joke of “this is super weird, right?”

Ranbir-Alia Wedding Discussion Questions!
Well, it’s Ranbir and Alia’s wedding day. And this is so upsetting that FilmiKudhi sent me a video of her son fussing about it. He’s not even 6 months yet, and even he thinks it is a bad idea.
Continue readingAnother Reposted Ranbir Kapoor Post! Happy Wedding Ranbir!
Okay, sharpen your claws, build up the knives of resentment, stoke the fires of your class/gender anger, and let us focus all of that on the one perfect representation of every man who ever tried to tell you his pain was more important than yours, that his success is a tribute to talent and not privilege, that if we disagree with him it is just because we don’t have the depth to understand his thoughts. Take down Ranbir, and we can take down every patronizing boss, every bad boyfriend, every dumb colleague promoted over you, every person who looks at the world and only sees a mirror, not a window. Yes, our Ranbir Hate, in one great cleansing burst, will Save the World.
Continue readingIn Honor of the Alia-Ranbir Wedding Festivities, Reposted Ranbir Posts!
This is a happy place, and a generally nice place, so obviously we all wish Ranbir well as a human person on earth, we want him to successfully defeat whatever internal demons he has, we want him to be at peace, and we aren’t going to troll him or stalk him or torment him on social media or any of that. But, I think we are allowed to say bad things about his acting, his films, and the way he presents himself to the world, right? That doesn’t make us bad people?

This is what happens when I let things go! And I’m gonna have to keep letting things go because I’m still fighting fatigue. But y’all have to pick up the slack for me.

Did not expect to have a Silly Sunday idea from a creepy stalker/internet troll podcast. But then there was a surprising little sweet romance in the middle of it!
Continue readingHappy New Year! Kirre Just Reminded Me that YJHD Ends on New Year! In Honor of the Holiday, Here is My Reposted Review
Yes! An old review! But a good movie, and one that might be interesting to talk about again as Brahmastra creaks towards a release with the same star and director/writer.
Continue readingIn Honor of Brahmastra Motion Poster, Ranbir Discussion Post!!! Can You Articulate Why You Dislike Him? Personally and/or Professionally?
Elin Star is doing a deep dive in the archives to figure out what is up with Ranbir. But then I realized that the DCIB archives are probably out of date, he keeps living and not-changing, and with every year that passes there are more reasons to dislike him. Or like him, I guess? But if you like him, what are you doing on DCIB? Explain yourself!
Continue readingUpcoming Movie News: Ranbir Has a Bad Idea, Bob Biswas Looks GREAT, Nani-Sai Pallavi Movie Trailer!
Okay, two good movies and one bad, that’s a fair trade off. I can live with that.

I 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 readingValentine’s 90s Week of Romance: I Am Super Grumpy and I Am Going to Complain About Jerry Maguire (and a little Ranbir), and A Lot a Bit MEN!!!!!
The world is a bleak and horrible place filled with no sun and snowdrifts, it’s super unfair that I have to do work-work in the living room instead of continuing to sleep in my nice warm bed, and I don’t want to walk the dog. And you know whose fault that is? MEN! White Old Rich Men!!!! In some way I am not clear on, but I know I am mad about it. I’m gonna talk about how Tom Cruise/Cameron Crowe are terrible people who think they are good. Oh, and don’t bother actually watching Jerry Maguire before reading this post, I will tell you everything you need to know.

I wasn’t going to do a mean wish, but then your comments helped guide me to how this can be a NOT mean wish.

This sounds dark, but it comes from a place of love. Some couples just should not be together! They will blossom and be happier apart.

Happy Saturday! I am right on schedule, time to do the final apartment clean and wrap presents, then go back to my parents and make a gingerbread house. I don’t know if we actually want to make a gingerbread house, but it is on the list of Christmas Activities I wrote up back in November, so we have to.

This is a happy place, and a generally nice place, so obviously we all wish Ranbir well as a human person on earth, we want him to successfully defeat whatever internal demons he has, we want him to be at peace, and we aren’t going to troll him or stalk him or torment him on social media or any of that. But, I think we are allowed to say bad things about his acting, his films, and the way he presents himself to the world, right? That doesn’t make us bad people?

Everyone’s least favorite quarantine partner! But I am going to make you get even more specific than that.

A vital timely question! And now that we are all about 6 months in, I think we have a good sense of the importance of this question and what factors needed to be weighed and considered.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Katrina! Here is Your Life
This isn’t a gift for Katrina in that she can read about her life, she knows her life. This is to make everyone who reads it a little more sensitive and respectful towards her. I know that was my experience writing it, I went from being neutral on Katrina to truly respecting her.

I promised you an All Happiness day, right? What could be happier than objectifying men in a feminist act of subverting gender power dynamics!

News round-up! This is mostly because Brahmastra made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Oh, and because I have a new commenter getting to know Amitabh, and it reminded me that he is a combination of rawly emotional and very very restrained in his public appearances.

Happy Saturday! Which has meaning for me, since I still work regular hours and enjoy having the weekend off. Of course, being me, that just means I find a different non-job kind of work. Because what is life if not a serious of challenges to accomplish?

Let us acknowledge our petty dislikes! Who is someone you just can’t make yourself like? To the point of avoiding films you might otherwise enjoy?

No, you can’t wish for infinite wishes! Genie’s are sick of the little smart aleck kids who say that. You can only have ONE wish, and it is strictly Indian film related, and here are your choices. Be warned, they are HARD!!!!

Ritu was related to a lot of famous public people, but was not a public person herself. I don’t want to reveal too much of her life which (by choice) she kept private. But I want to point to how she affected those around her who have chosen to lead a public life.
