I suppose we could watch a Deep and Smart movie from either of them, but I don’t want to! And that’s not the Friday WatchAlong brand anyway. Rani’s birthday was on Sunday, Akshaye’s is next Sunday, who do we celebrate????
Continue readingDo you feel the need for a crazy nonsense plot, Rani being unbelievably cute, and Bobby Deol being a hilariously bad actor? This is the movie for you! Seriously, Bobby is falling off the couch laughing BAD.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got to see a PERSON yesterday!!! I picked my friend up at work and we got ice cream cones and then went back to my place and watched a Rani movie and it was AMAZING. And now I am trying to come down off that high and actually do work-work.
Continue readingWhat a grand GRAND day!!!!!! There is really only one way to celebrate, I think. To the tune of “My Country Tis of Thee”.
Continue readingHappy Saturday!!!! I am so glad to have a nothing weekend. Especially today, I can just do my puzzle and watch TV and be cozy. And probably close the laptop most of the day too.
Continue readingI am so happy, I have been wanting to see this movie for almost 20 years. Well “wanting”. Maybe “vaguely curious” that was transformed to “want” after it was forbidden to me by The Universe. And now The Universe has relented, and I have watched this movie, and I never have to see it again. And you never have to see it even once because I watched it for you!
Continue readingWhat a nice coincidence! Amitabh’s birthday and Yashji’s birthday, both perfectly timed to post a collaberation.
Continue readingThree review day! I’ve totally lost track of how many movies/days I have left, but I feel like I need to increase my rate of review.
Continue readingThis movie discussion should be a fascinating comparison with my re-review of KANK from yesterday. Both films are about married couples struggling with the distance between who they are as people, and what they feel their married roles should be. Only in this movie, our husband and wife really truly love each other, so they are able to fight their way back together, even when he fails as a provider and she fails as a mother/homemaker.
Continue readingI just reread my original review, and it was quite good, but there are so many other interesting points to discuss that I didn’t even touch upon! I’m excited!
Continue readingIt’s Friday! I’ve had a long week! Let’s be silly.
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 readingMujshe Dosti Karoge is turning 18! If it were a person, it would be old enough to vote. But probably shouldn’t vote, because it is by turns bonkers and stupid. Which is, of course, why it is a DCIB favorite.
Continue readingTruly, gay fanfic is the greatest gift you can give any pop culture item. At least, I think so! And love triangles are so ripe for re-writing. Two girls loving the same boy is so so so so close to two girls sublimating their desire for each other by pretending to love the same boy.
Continue readingNext most interesting character, Tina! Really it is the women who are original and new and different in this film, Shahrukh’s hero is good, but not quite so spectacular.
Continue readingYes, I am going out on a limb and picking which Rani song, over all, is sexiest! And then you get to critique me in the comments and correct me because I forgot something and so on. It’ll be fun!
Continue readingOkay, new rules for this one! You can use either a movie title, or a song, or a co-star. But the only rule is, you can’t have two of the same kind in a row. So I can’t say “Aamir” “Bobby”. But I could say “Aamir” “Badal”. Does that make sense?
Continue readingIt’s funny, this is one of the people that I think I diverge in my impression from some of you. But not in an angry aggressive way, none of us feel super strongly about our opinions, there’s just a difference somehow. It’s interesting! And you can disagree totally with my conclusions, but still enjoy the basic facts I lay out.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Which still has meaning for me, because I am actually working 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. But today I have the whoooooooooooooole day and I am going to try to organize my space.
Continue readingBad Girls month, woo-hoo! Let’s see if this brings views back. Or if I just have to wait until there is another big movie in theaters people are excited about. Or do drugs and rock ‘n roll to go along with my very popular “sex” week.
Continue readingSeeta Aur Geeta is the only Sippy film that can really be remade. Remaking Sholay is obviously impossible, and the other films fall into that fuzzy area where they are fun for what they are, and all the little character beats and stuff, but if you try to recreate it, it would all fly away and nothing special would be left. Like, I love Zamaana-Deewana, but remove the orgasm song, and Anupam Kher’s drag scene, and all you’ve got is a really weird plot about boring young lovers.
Continue readingObjectifying women is wrong. BUT! If an entire image is carefully crafted, with the full participation of the model, to evoke sexuality, they we aren’t objectifying, we are talking about Art. You’ll see, these aren’t like “oo, I can see her breast” photos, these are classic elaborate really beautiful images. But which is the BEST?
Continue readingThis is so HARD! They both have a natural joyful quality on screen that is so much more sexual than air brushed and perfect actresses. And they are both really good actresses who lose themselves in the moment and make you believe they are real people feeling real things. But which is better?
Continue readingFirst, head over here to read my big discussion of sex and meaning in Mani Ratnam films. That’s fun and new. This is not new, this has been reposted many many times already. But hey, maybe you haven’t read it yet somehow!
