Oh boy! A straight up for realsies classic! Which also means that it is hard to find a good copy and they vary widely in length and quality and stuff. So, we will be watching the einthusan version, for consistancy.
Continue readingWell, this is a very impractical choice. It will only work if you all swear to watch on Einthusan and nowhere else. But you say you will, so fine! We’ll try it!
Continue readingHave I already fanficed/recast these movies? Eh, don’t care, everything is horrible and will never get better so it doesn’t matter.
Continue readingI promised you an All Happiness day, right? What could be happier than objectifying men in a feminist act of subverting gender power dynamics!
Continue readingI suppose I could try to come up with a reason, like it is the anniversary of one of his films or something, but really there is no reason. I’m sad, so I’m putting up gifs of Shashi. And then I’m gonna have a strawberry milkshake.
Continue readingA challenge! Who are the folks that physically, and spiritually, are equally attractive to you? Or unattractive, we can go both ways.
Continue readingA challenge! You have to find a Shashi character you are willing to punch! And one that you are willing to sex, but not marry.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Today is the day I move in with my parents! So, leaving my comfortable 4 room apartment that I have all to myself, to squeeze in to their 5 room apartment and bounce off the walls. But better than hitting that 7pm time after the work calls are over when I start to go buggy from isolation. (reminder, keep comments light. Happy Place!)
Continue readingOkay, ready to battle it out? I don’t even want agreement here, I want us all to share in the wonderment that is Shashifest by sharing our on personal top 3.
Continue readingI am loving all the alphabet games we’ve got going. click the “Games” link from the homepage to find them all and join in the fun! And for Shashi fest, of course I need a Shashi one.
Continue readingThis is respectful of a great artist, moral man, and loving husband and father, right? To reduce him to body parts and pick which are best?
Continue readingHAPPY SHASHI DAY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! There will be festivities, there will be wonderment, and to start off there will be PHOTOS!
Continue readingHow are these discussion posts getting more traffic than anything else I have put up in weeks???? Is it possible we are all terribly shallow? Naaaaaaah, surely not!
Continue readingBrace yourself for the sympathetic overlooked sibling pain! Or for the triggering of “I’m sorry for being so awesome and making people not notice you!” noticed sibling guilt. Or I suppose for agonizing parental worry as you see this pattern appearing within your own family. Anyway, for me, this is because I am about to visit New York City, which is essentially the glitzy big sibling to Chicago, and all my Chicago feathers are already rumpled. We’re just as good! We just don’t like to talk about ourselves as much!
Continue readingWell, I can see why people (some of them members of the DCIB community…) might prefer this film to Sholay. Sholay is brilliant and tragic and makes you think. But this movie has a helicopter and an alligator pit. The choice is clear.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had such a happy sunny weekend, and now I am trying to get back into work mindset.
Continue readingThis is exciting! And very difficult since I’ve only seen 3 out of the 8 films I want to cover. Oh well, I’ll give myself a nice slow schedule. And throw in the usual Sunday Reruns and new movies and stuff in between so you aren’t bored.
Continue readingThis is such a good interesting movie! I watched it years ago and yet I still remember it well enough to write a review, which is a sign of a very good movie.
Continue readingAre you feeling down? Is the work week getting to you? Or just the general February blahs? I have a cure! Let us all stare at Shashi Kapoor photos, until we are ready to stop.
Continue readingThis is a movie with a lot of layers, consideration of parent and child relationships, and changing times, and the generation gap. But it is also about sex, and what makes good sex and bad sex, and why that matters in a relationship.
Continue readingHappy Kabhi Kabhi day! This is my old review, with one paragraph added, but I think I have to do a second review later today specifically about what sex means in this movie because I think Yashji had a very particular reason for showing different interactions between the 5 couples.
Continue readingNo Shahrukh! He would skew the results. Instead, I am putting a bunch of non-SRKs up against each other in a series of matched pairs. Good news is, you don’t need to have heard of any of these people before!!!!! Just look at the photos and make a snap judgement. Like picking out a bride.
Continue readingWoo-hoo, first new review! Starting on top with arguably the two most attractive people in 1970s Hindi film, Sharmila and Shashi. Get them naked in a cabin, and you’ve really got something!
Continue readingI did it! Halfway through Aa Gale Lag Jaye (which I am loving, Shashi 4Ever), I realized that what we need most is more sex in our lives. And in our movies. So for the next two weeks, sex sex sex. Woo-hoo! Oh, this also means not all your suggestions made the cut, but sex often involves sacrifice.
Continue readingIt was Javed’s birthday yesterday, and I am traveling, so I am going to repost a couple of my old favorite Salim-Javed reviews. Starting with this one, which did not turn out to be the best film but is my favorite of their scripts.
