Let’s see if I can manage a thinky post after two days of light non-thinky posts. Fingers crossed!

Shahrukh Summer: Rank Shahrukh’s Uniform Roles
Ready for a shallow shallow post? Of the few times Shahrukh has appeared onscreen in uniform, which is the best uniform?
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Rank His Hair! Best to Worst
I feel this is a completely appropriate topic, because hair is a created art form (your stylist takes what you have and changes it), so we can rank his hair as much as we might rank his performances or his clothing styles. Right? It’s not unfair objectification? Oh well, maybe it is, but it’s fun!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Directors Week: What One Time Director Do We Want to See SRK Work With Again?
I already did a “favorite SRK director” post, this is a little more specific. Shahrukh has worked with a lot of directors only once, which one of them do we want to see him with again (excepting the ones who are dead)?
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Shahrukh’s Hair, Albie Dog, and Scheduling Challenges
Happy Saturday! I have such a frustrating weekend, there are two movies in theaters that I just will not be able to watch. Grrr!
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Through the Years, 23 to 53
This would really make more sense as a Birthday Month post, but oh well, it occurred to me today.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Which Shahrukh Movies Would You Change?
Again, this is one of those posts that acknowledges not all Shahrukh movies are perfect. We are all cool with that, right? I’m not gonna get angry threats on twitter like I did that one time? Okay, good.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Favorite Era of Shahrukh Films
I just wrote a truly brilliant post (here), one of those rare amazing ones, and now my brain is dead. So I will offer up a brain dead post as filler, and return to my beloved SRK.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Ranbir Hate Week: Which Ranbir Role Would You Give to Shahrukh?
Oo oo! Combined theme post! Love and hate, brought together in one discussion post.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Which is the Worst, Dilwale-Happy New Year-Zero?
Oh boy, you ready to get HEATED? We all know that Shahrukh did a few films that were not so great in the past few years. But which is the worst of them all?
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Shahrukh New Movie Rumors, Weird Tamil Release Delay, Lots to Discuss!
Happy Saturday! I am going to the far far theater to see Chhichhore (so many h’s!). I could go to the just normal far theater, but then it wouldn’t be an adventure. Anyway, while I have my adventure, you all can talk.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Lifehacks for Bad SRK Movies
Oops, I forgot, the last time I put up a post implying the existence of “bad” SRK movies, I got a lot of anger on twitter. But you all understand, right? I can love the man and still hate some of the movies?
Continue readingFriday Classic Director’s Week: Mohabbatein, Adi’s Movie By the Numbers
Spellcheck wants me to replace “Mohabbatein” with “Mountbatten”. This makes me giggle every single time. Do you think it is possible that the whole film is an allegory for Edwina and Nehru’s affair? Amitabh is Mountbatten, Aish is Edwina, Shahrukh is Nehru, the school is India, Anupam Kher is Gandhi? It TOTALLY WORKS.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Discussion Post for Director’s Week, Rank Shahrukh’s Directors
This is the kind of thing that fans can talk about long into the night and no one else cares about. Which of Shahrukh’s directors is his best collaborator?
Continue readingDirector’s Week: Aditya Chopra, Meastro of the 2 Minute Video, His Greatest Hits
I don’t know for sure that Adi did these. I know for sure he made the Darr trailer, which is instantly recognizable as something a little bit different and better than anything else. And there are other YRF trailers that have that same feel which I am choosing to credit for Adi.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: All Shahrukh Goofy Songs
The is broken in my office AGAIN so it is 1 million degrees and my brain has melted. Sorry, I hate complaining all the time about this, but it is literally making me ill and having a big effect on my blogging abilities. So no deep thought post, big silly post that requires minimal thought instead. I’m gonna go through Shahrukh’s filmography and pull out every single goofy song. And you all get to decide which one of them is the most happy making!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Marry-Date-Avoid, Shahrukh Professions
Ready for a silly post? Of course you are! It’s a holiday (at least in America), we aren’t supposed to be thinking.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, For Labor Day, A Film Where Our Hero Has an Actual Job
Such a great movie! Largely because it feels like a story of real people, and part of that is because they have real jobs.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer/Silly Sunday: Tweed and Sweaters Romance for Saif and Shahrukh, Middle-Aged Rediscovering the Spark Comedy for Boman and Shahrukh, Fun Wedding Farce for Shahrukh and Ayushmann Khurrana
I love it when you inspire me in the comments! I always come up with much better stories based on your ideas than I do on my own. Anyway, these are from the comments on the “what actor does Shahrukh have the most chemistry with?” post.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte Annotated
Thank you Emily for the suggestion! This is the perfect song to do a lazy Saturday when I don’t want to think that much.
Continue readingTGIF/Shahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Versus The World
You ready for me to make your life VERY HARD? I’m going to do a series of match ups and, for at least one, you have to choose someone who is not Shahrukh.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Brief “Hawayein” Analysis
This is a little treat for those of you who like this kind of thing, a deep intense consideration of a small moment of SRK screen time.
Continue readingMagical Thinking Post: Let Us All Combine Our Powers For These Very Small Wishes
I am a deep believer in the “God has a plan” theory and also the “Butterfly effect” theory. Meaning that I don’t like to make big wishes for fear they will come true and somehow mess with The Universe. But I think the following small wishes should be safe and not permenantly damage anything. Join me in combining our powers to Make Them So!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Shahrukh Songs in Which He Gazes Longingly At the Heroine
I’m not messing around, I went to his full filmography and pulled out every song that evokes that “I desire you like oxygen but do not feel worthy to do more than gaze at you” feeling.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Chemistry Test, Who Would We Cast Opposite Him in a Same-Sex Love Story?
Thank goodness for Shahrukh summer! I have had a weird bad day that started with a nightmare about brownies and Marie Curie, and ended with a boat in the middle of the road blocking my route home from work. So now I am going to do a silly silly post.
