Honestly was not thinking about my question on “what do you want to see Shahrukh play?” as a fanfic idea prompt, but now here I am! And I have so many ideas that I think I’m just gonna rattle them off.

Silly Sunday FanFic: Gender Reversed OverBoard with Shahrukh and Juhi!
This idea came up in an exchange between me and Genevieve a few weeks back and I think it is really good and fun. Who wouldn’t like to see SRK as a rich doofus turned handyman?
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: JHMS in Other Cultures! Americans in Europe, Central Asians in America, Europeans in India!
Sorry-not-sorry, yet ANOTHER JHMS fanfic. This time watching it, I was thinking about how I would translate it to America. And it actually works really well.

I’m watching my terrible 1990s BBC Mystery series and waiting for the storms to start, and I am finally ready to start thinking about how to fix Brahmastra.
Continue readingReal Life International Indian-American Crime Story/Awesome Possible Reema-Zoya Series! (Podcast Scam Likely)
I listened to the most FASCINATING podcast, which is directly related to our blog topics which makes it even better. It’s about scam phone calls coming out of Bombay, hitting America targeting NRIs, and the money being processed by non-English speaking desperate recent NRIs driving around the American midwest. We know these people! Like, on film and also in real life!
Continue readingRandom Round-Up of Things I Have Been Consuming!
Over the past few weeks, gaaaaaaah! Life is crazy!!! So I haven’t really sat down and concentrated on something to review-review since Ms Marvel. But there are some random things I can talk about just to get a post up and get my brain working again.
Continue readingFor Judy’s birthday! Easter Parade Remake, the Perfect SRK-Anushka Movie, and Summer Stock Remake, the Perfect Ranveer-Katrina Movie
Yaaaay, more fanfic! A late birthday present to ME! And also, Judy Garland’s 100th birthday is today and she is a very important person everywhere all the time, so she deserves attention.

Thank you thank you to anonymous for suggesting such fanfics for me to write! As you all know, I looooooooooooooove writing fanfics. So giving me a thing you want to write is a gift!
Continue readingSilly Sunday on Thursday: True Crime Femme Fatale Romance for SRK, and Recasting Anne of the Island!!!!
I am sitting in a laundromat waiting for my clothes to be done, perfect time to let my imagination take flight and not really think about much of anything. Oh, and by the way, no watchalong this week, my schedule is just too crazy (my friends invited their friend who is a professional landscaper to come fix our back yard, so we are working flat out for the 3 days he is in town)
Continue readingSilly Sunday for Orthodox Easter/Varun’s Birthday! FanFic Version of the Resurrection Starring Varun, Sid M, Shraddha, Hema, and Amitabh (as God)
Good news! I’ve decided I’m not sick any more! I mean, I really am feeling a lot better. The only strong COVID symptom left is weird tiny muscle pains in my torso. Anyway, time to get back to Normal Life, starting with Silly Sunday FanFic.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Great Real Surprising Romance From a Stalker Podcast! Totally Upends Sexual/Gender Norms, I want the MOVIE!
Did not expect to have a Silly Sunday idea from a creepy stalker/internet troll podcast. But then there was a surprising little sweet romance in the middle of it!
Continue readingSilly Sunday/Thinky Post: I Just Saw the Western Movie Brooklyn! Really Interesting Take on Immigration, and Romantic!
I watched this for a film class and it was on the one hand a romance, and on the other hand an odd interesting way of telling an immigration story that was almost entirely internal and emotional.
Continue readingSilly Sunday/DCIB Book Club: Time to Re-Write Laura!!!! And, More Importantly, Re-Cast It!!!!
Follow up on last week’s book club post, quick re-write of Laura! And Re-cast. I will give multiple options, you pick!
Continue readingIn Honor of Yvette Mimieux, My Remakes of Where the Boys Are and The Light in the Piazza
My sister emailed me yesterday to tell me that Yvette Mimieux died. She was an actress in Hollywood of the 1960s who had a few notable roles but not much else. What was special about her was a certain kind of broken fragility she brought onscreen. A kind of fragility that inspires love and protection in other women around her, rather than in “male saviors”. Especially in what are, to me, her most memorable roles: Where the Boys Are and Light in the Piazza.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: Re-Writing K3G in Honor of It’s Anniversary!!!!
It’s dangerously ice-y today, so I can’t go outside even to our sidewalk. Perfect day to stay in and watch Star Trek and re-write K3G!!!!!
Continue readingBrain Melt Post: One Sentence Plot Ideas for Indian Film Christmas Movies
I have had a very stressful work day, Christmas is on a Saturday which means I get literally no days off work, and I still have to walk the dog and go pick up more presents. The only thing that is getting me through is the promise of watching A Castle For Christmas with my friend as a fun evening treat. In that state of mind, let us come up with the most ludicrous possible Christmas movie plots!
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: True Crime Story for Birthday Girl Helen! The Helen and Olga Septuagenarian Serial Killers
I was already thinking about this as a fanfic and then I realized it was Helen’s birthday! So it’s EVEN MORE perfect!!!
Continue readingShahrukh Month Discussion Post: What Sequel Do We Want to See? What Story Should Be Continued, What Ending Needs to Be Corrected, What Character Do We Want to See More Of?
Shahrukh Sequels! Which we have discussed a thousand times, so now I am going to add a twist and break it down into 3 categories.
Continue readingShahrukh Month Silly Sunday: Spooky Sunday! What Kind of Ghost Movie Should SRK Be In? Classic Horror, Not Romance Like Paheli
Shahrukh Khan Ghost Movie! I SHOULD be writing my Little Things reviews, but I don’t wanna. I already did stuff today, subbed as a teacher for the church youth group (do teens just not talk? Courtney, how do you make them talk? It’s so BORING), and took my car in for an oil change, and all kinds of useful things. I don’t wanna do more stuff! I wanna do fun brainless stuff! Like write Ghost Movies for SRK!!!!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: SHAHRUKH MONTH!!!!! Let’s Do Some FANFIC!!!
Woot! I’m just gonna start typing and see what brilliance pours out of me. I’m PUMPED!!!!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Which of These Fictionalized Real Crimes Do You Want Made Into a Movie? Male Stripper Romance or Private Eye Abused Wife Romance?
These are real stories, very sad, and so on. But I will deal with tragedy by fictionalizing it and thinking about how great it would be as a Hindi film romance! Especially because both of them remind me a bit of Abbas-Mustan and we just watched Ajnabee.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Queen Latifah Rom-Com Remakes!!!!!
WARNING! I am going to be spoiling the movies Last Christmas and Just Wright. But, on the other hand, not really spoiling them because they are delightfully predictable and pleasant as all rom-coms should be. It’s about the journey, not the destination.
Continue readingI Have a Good Movie Idea for Rani! Tough Cop Working with 3 Old Men
I’ve got a headache today so I am not thinking too hard about anything, instead I am watching a soothing BBC show and I just realized it would be perfect for Rani.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: 3 Ideas for the Alia-Kat-PC Movie! Amar Akbar Anthony Remake and Others
I’m gonna get back on a SCHEDULE!!! Through out the pandemic, keeping to a blog schedule has kept me sane. Throwing it out the window during moving week was NOT HEALTHY. So I’m gonna make an effort and do the posts that are supposed to go up on the days they are supposed to go up. With that in mind, Silly Sunday!
Continue readingMy Dad and I Have Been on a Bad 1970s Disaster Movie Binge (Poseidon, Airport, etc.)! What Disaster Movie Could We Make in Hindi Film?
The thing about 1970s disaster movies is that they are so SILLY. It’s not like “a tornado!” or “an earthquake!” it’s all “this very fancy modern something or other has one small flaw and now a variety of famous actors must work together to escape”.
