Happy Tuesday! It’s a week and one day since I last posted! I went on vacation and did NOTHING very aggressively. I went to a different coffee shop every morning and read my book for over an hour, then wandered around until I found a place to eat lunch, then wandered some more until I found a place to sit and finish my book, then went back to my hotel room to start a new book. 4 books in 4 days! The perfect break. Oh, and also a pedicure, a massage, acupuncture, and a Psychic reading, just for fun. And I bought hair dye and used the hotel shower to re-dye my hair. So you can see, I was very very busy with no time for blogging.

Tiger 3 Review (SPOILERS): An Interesting Journey of a Relationship! Also, Explosions
I’ve sat with this movie for a bit, and I think it is more like Tiger 1 than I gave it credit for, in that it is a relationship story wrapped up in an action movie. Think of it as the Indian “Before Sunrise” series! With explosions.
Continue readingTiger 3 Review (No Spoilers): It’s Not Hateful and Jingoistic! And Katrina Gets to be AWESOME! And Emraan Hashmi Takes His Shirt Off!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! It wasn’t like Tiger 2! I really really hated Tiger 2! It also wasn’t exactly like Tiger 1, but it was similarly light and love filled instead of dark and fear filled (blech Tiger 2! Blech! And you are allow to disagree with my opinion).
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: We All Survived Christmas! And Massive Weather (in America)! Back to Normal Life, Phew!
Happy Wednesday!!!! I spent Friday alternately so cold I couldn’t breath trying to shovel, and hiding inside and recovering doing a puzzle. I spent Saturday and Sunday with my parents doing a festive Christmas trip (art museum, fancy restaurant, fancy hotel, champagne breakfast, opening presents, movie, fancy hotel dinner, and then leaving Monday morning), and I spent Monday afternoon through now recovering from all of that and going “aaaahhhhhhh”. And now regular life returns, and the weather goes above freezing!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hide From the Cold!!!
Happy Saturday!!!! It is very cold here. Well, not VERY cold, it is fairly cold here. Cold enough that my usual Saturday routine of a very long dog walk and running over to the recycling center is not so appealing. So instead, I will stay by my space heater and do taxes!
Continue readingTweets That Made Me Smile: Karan, Salman, New Love Story, New Madhuri Series!!!
Two of these are really silly, and two are semi-not silly. Personally, I prefer the silly, but if you want to look at tweets with actual content, I have that also.

Happy Monday! I have a new computer! I no longer have random freezes and pauses, it’s a miracle.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Friday WatchAlong! I did work all morning, ran an errand, then came home and had a nap, and now I am all settled in for this movie! And I will NOT fall asleep (as I tend to do when we have Friday afternoon watchalongs).
Continue readingShahrukh Update, An Army of Love
Again, this is a place for us to feel sad together. But not pessimistic, not hopeless, not angry. Just sad and full of love. I don’t know about you, but I find that letting everything come from a place of love is all that can get me through tough times. And yes, for SRK fans, this is a tough time and this is a place where we can acknowledge that.

Thank you Angie for continuing to be our Ayush Sharma correspondent! Your diligence is appreciated.

I just read a month and a half of People magazines, and my goodness are they excited about JLo and Ben! Which made me realize it’s not just in India that celebrity shifted in the early 2000s, it’s crazy that in America these two 50 year olds are still bigger stars than everyone who came after them. And also, years later reunions are a GREAT story and I want more of them.

Oh my goodness, such an important birthday! Almost as important as Courtney’s birthday last weekend! Let’s celebrate with songs!

This was actually on Friday I think, but this week has been so crazy, I missed it. But Himesh seems like a pretty lowkey dude and won’t care.

I promised to do this list after we watched Bajrangi Bhaijaan and felt all good about good people doing good things and cute little girls. And I am finally getting around to it!
Continue readingRadhe Review (SPOILERS): Jackie Shroff in a MiniDress
I saw a new movie! In theaters! Like in Olden Times! And like in Olden Times, I am doing a whole separate “Spoiler” review just in case you want to watch it. If you don’t want to watch it, read this review anyway, I’m gonna get all deep about gender and Delhi versus Bombay and fun stuff like that.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, a review of a new movie! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a review of a movie I saw in theaters! Yay? A Salman movie?

For Eid, I just showed a friend “Sultan”, which is SUCH a great pump up training kind of song. But is it better than “Zinda”? Or “Udd Dabangg”?
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: For EID! Bajrangi Bhaijaan!!!!
Eid Mubarak! I may or may not end up seeing a Salman movie in theaters to celebrate, but at least we can see a Salman movie NOT in theaters. Join me in watching Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the movie that is hands down his best in recent years.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: What Salman Movie Should We Watch for EID????
Eid Mubarak! A few days early! I am debating if I should see Radhe in theaters or not. I was all set to stream, but turns out it’s gonna be on stupid Zee5 and ZEE5 ISN’T IN AMERICA!!!! I hate Zee5.

The 8 central characters are such great types, super fun to cast. Don’t worry, if you somehow don’t know the story, I will summarize the main bits that are important for casting.

In the crazy world of 2021, isn’t it nice to have a safe familiar relaxing Bad Salman Movie? Isn’t that alone enough to celebrate? If it was actually good, I would be yet another upsetting change in the regular scheme of life.

The Salman vaccination is pretty for sure, the Aamir story might still be false. We shall see! But both of them are Big News, so the DCIB community needs a place to process.

I 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!

Why mess around? We know we have to deal with this question eventually! Might as well just dive into it and try to teach a concensus.

Yes, it’s time for 2020 Awards to continue!!!! Especially today, when it is the first working day of the month, and the year, and a Monday! Accounting type people across the world are going “noooooo!!!!”, and since I am both an accounting type person, and the person who provides customer support for other accounting type people, I expect to be very very busy. So it is gonna be up to y’all to fill in content.
