Happy Wednesday! I am up at the Lake House supervising cleaners and it is FREEZING. I feel so bad for them. And for Albie who is huddled up against me tight.
Continue readingSooooooooo tempted to do a snarky “three ring fizzle!” kind of title. But that’s just not me, why beat up a helpless little film when instead I can try to give it a chance to find love? Yes, it’s not the best movie by a long long shot, but it’s harmless and trying.
Continue readingI had a lovely evening at the theater, mostly because I went on a weeknight so it was just me and my friend and we could talk the whole time. I highly recommend talking straight through this movie, the bits that it is fun to talk over are way more common than the bits it is fun to watch. Despite the fact that it is a very very gay/camp movie which you would think means it is entertaining.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Ranveer!!!! Thank goodness, I need some happiness after a stressful hot difficult weekend. Fireworks everywhere all weekend, dog was miserable and I got little sleep, super super hot, moving heavy furniture, UGH! But now, Ranveer is here to save me.
Continue readingBeen a while since I did this, and I felt the need for a jolt of that special social media happiness this morning, so here we go!
Continue readingI do like it when stuff makes me giggle becuase it is just WEIRD!!! And thanks to Kirre, I am aware of one weird thing, which gave me started hunting for more weird things.
Continue readingOh boy, a review of an old movie I just watched for the first time! This should be lazy and fun.
Continue readingLook at that, thanks to the unrelenting slog of ’83, Ranveer still has a short enough filmography that we can play the game. Also, I’m not including Bhansali films, because his Bhansali roles are so insane and over the top I don’t think it is fair to throw them in with the rest.
Continue readingSecond part! Ranveer Singh, the movie star. Which is a performance he is giving and has convinced all of us is truth.
Continue readingI just wrote and posted this a few months back, so probably y’all remember it and have already read it. But just in case, for his birthday, I am posting it again. Because Ranveer is an interesting dude.
Continue readingWooo, Ranveer! Such a fun dude, and you know he will celebrate his birthday the bestest funnest way, even during lockdown.
Continue readingInstagram! Land of happiness! So nice it just look at pretty pictures of pretty people and not have a million trolls. I will enjoy it while it lasts.
Continue readingStill watching Hart of Dixie which does really good love triangles, and it has inspired me to try and see what I can come up with as potential Indian film triangles. Not easy ones where it’s a choice between love and duty, but ones where there are two viable “love” options.
Continue readingThis were all recommended by readers, so I know at least SOME of you have already heard of them. And then there are like three of you that are fanfic diehards and will read anything, even if you haven’t heard of these shows. And heck, all of them are fun happy slightly romantic things, I want you all to watch them and enjoy them and if this fanfic helps promote them, great!
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 readingI still think they shouldn’t have had sex in this film. Just because of what it does to the narrative afterwards, STUPID! A kiss would have been a lot better.
Continue readingWoo, Gully Boy! Released in February, just when I was thinking 2019 would have no good movies at all. And then it showed me that it would have at least one.
Continue readingOh Dips! I can’t be the only one who has a vaguely worried and protective feeling about her, right? She just seems to have been hit by life so many times.
Continue readingOh there is so much to talk about with today’s stories! Not the actual stories, they are the usual fake bland PR stuff, but what they mean and what we think about them and all KINDS of things!!!!
Continue readingI wish Indian films and Indian celebrities focused more on shoes. They can be such delightful works of art, but unfortunately most of the time they seem like just after thoughts to outfits.
Continue readingPart 1 didn’t get as many comments as I expected, but it did get decent views, so I am moving on!
Continue readingYou know why I don’t like doing 101s on people in the middle of their careers? First, because people feel more passionate about it and are likely to disagree with me and I hate it when people disagree with me. And second, because it is a continuing story and things that may happen in the future will affect the accuracy of what I say here. So please keep that in mind, disagree respectfully and correct me respectfully, and forgive me if you come back to this post 2 years from now and it is no longer correct.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I had big plans to be productive today, and then things went kind of heywire (sp?) last night and I ended up with no sleep. So instead I am going to try to finish writing the posts I promised you, forgive any sleep deprivation weirdness, and otherwise just sit on the couch.
Continue readingI am off to my father’s birthday party tonight, so no time to write a fanfic today. Instead, enjoy a rerun of father themed stories!
Continue readingInspired by a question from Procrastinatrix, I got to think about boss’ in Indian film. Mostly they are pretty awesome, and in fact I wouldn’t mind working for any of them!
