Internet Piracy for the win!!!! Stupid Hotstar.com, the legal website, won’t accept payment from outside India, even using a credit card. So I hunted and googled and got ten minutes into one video that was pulled literally as I was watching it, and finally a found a deep dark place that had a high quality version available which lasted long enough for me to see the whole show.
It’s Friday, I had a long week (that Wednesday Cubs game!!!), so my friend and I just spent two hours working on a very very silly personal challenge together. An attempt to answer the question “What flavor/food best encapsulates the feeling of certain movie star’s sexiness?” I did the men and she did the women. (also, she’s a really cool Burlesque dancer under the name “Rosemary Maybe“, just in case she ever comes to your town, you should check her out!)
I’m sleepy, still haven’t recovered from last night (CUBS WIN!!!) and really can’t face writing another full post. So instead, I am going to recommend other things for you to read while I sleep.
You know, I saw a thing somewhere else that said Gauri and Suhana were hosting it, which sounded really cute, like little Suhana and her Mom spending time together planning the party, and then telling Shahrukh the party came from both of them. But now the pictures are coming out, and I think it might be slightly different. But still cute!
Don’t panic, he still doesn’t use the buttons. And one of them is white, so a little see-through. It’s all good.
He tweeted something! Just to ME! Okay, just to everyone who love him and is always there for him. Including ME! Because I made him a cake.
He already gave us a Dear Zindagi trailer, which was wonderful, but just to make sure we fully celebrate, he gave us another video as well!
Yaaaaaaay! A full length song trailer!!!! It looks nice. And I kind of wonder if we are only getting this, a song trailer for a song already released, because of the behind the scenes drama.
Booo, no big wave to the crowd and public viewing this year! Boooooooo! Come on Shahrukh, your birthday isn’t about you! It’s about all of us! (have you seen my cake?)
My cake is done! Thanks to discount Halloween candy I found in my freezer. So beautiful! I can’t wait to eat his nose.
It’s now officially Shahrukh’s birthday in America! Let the bells ring out, the celebrations start! In my apartment, I have now finished frosting my cake.
It’s not yet November 2 in America, but it already is in India, so I am going to go ahead and start celebrating. Sort of.
Yaaaaaay! For the 1 day, the final day, here is the 1 way that Shahrukh makes me feel. And, okay, I’m going to go a bit over the top here, but I figure, if you’ve come with me this far, you feel the same way. Plus, I’m all caught up in the holiday spirit!
Happy 2 Days to Shahrukh’s birthday! My two favorite people in Shahrukh’s life! (not counting his kids, because they got yesterday’s post)
Three, three, what could I do for 3? Oh! I know!
HAPPY DIWALI!!!!! And more importantly, HAPPY AE DIL HAI MUSHKIL AND SHIVAAY RELEASE WEEKEND!!!! But also, HAPPY DIWALI!
Normally I’m not that careful about spoilers on this blog. I flag them when I put them into a post, I put up spoiler and non-spoiler reviews, but I don’t care if you read the spoiler review before you see the movie, or if you put a spoil in a comment, or whatever. However, in this case, I’d like to try to keep the experience that Karan carefully crafted for the audience. So I’m putting up this review early, so everyone who has seen it has a place to think about and talk about the film as a whole. And then the other review will be for people who haven’t seen the movie yet, but are planning to.
I got pretty silly yesterday. Let’s see if I can pull it back and be serious. The most admirable things Shahrukh has done.
Okay, getting down to the wire, and a little bit silly as the excitement builds, you ready for my 5 favorite aspects of Shahrukh’s appearance?
Well, I already did favorite performances in films, this is something slightly different, favorite characters. Favorite characters who I would love no matter who played them.
Two videos just popped up in world, one of them so bad I feel the need to share it and get moral support to survive it. And the other so good that it seemed like my moral duty to put it out there.
My 7 favorite Shahrukh co-stars! Obviously, you know who number one is. But the others may surprise you! (I’ve been doing this for 9 days now, 16 favorite films here, 15 favorite fanvids here, 14 favorite pictures here, 13 sad facts here, 12 happy facts here, 11 best films here, 10 best quotes here, 9 best performances here, 8 best ads here)
Shahrukh is known for being brand ambassador for anything and everything. I’ve listed a few of his ads before, there may be some repeats in here, but here are 8 of the best I’ve been able to find (I make no promises about these being the best in existence, because I haven’t seen every SRK ad ever).
Once again, rediff comes through with the interesting in depth interview. And we get to learn all sorts of interesting things about the film industry and AR Rahman and SHAHRUKH!
