Happy Sunday! I am progressing along with my massive difficult sewing project that I forgot I promised to have done by September 1, so I have earned a nice break watching Sridevi.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! My friend reminded me I promised to finish an enormous sewing project for her by September 1 when she needs it for an event, and I am going up to the lake house the next two weekends, so AAAA! So much sewing! Anyway, it’s a fun challenge.
Continue readingHappy Sridevi’s birthday! Thank goodness, I have managed to get enough people to do a Sridevi watchalong, would have been very sad if we couldn’t.
Continue readingHappy Friday! Yesterday FilmiKudhi suggested a Friday afternoon watchalong, but it’s way too last minute now. And also, I want to run some errands this afternoon instead.
Continue readingWooo, let’s do another watchalong! And it’s Sridevi Weekend, so we gotta do one of her films. Call me crazy, but I’m feeling SNAKE-Y!
Continue readingWoo-hoo! I am beginning to feel like I am getting back to regular life! Watchalong, I made my own coffee, I’ve started laundry, life is good.
Continue readingI know I know, super last minute. And this was supposed to be Courtney’s week too (sorry Courtney!). But life kind of got on top of me, so instead I am doing this last minute Sridevi pick!
Continue readingIt’s okay if you don’t. I know it’s a bit of a dark movie (but the vengeance is so satisfying, I don’t care). But it’s Sridevi’s birthday weekend, and I kind of want to rewatch it somehow.
Continue readingIt is inarguable that Sridevi was the greatest female star India will ever see. Dominating every major industry simultaneously, and making it look easy. But there are other female stars too! Let’s pick our favorites.
Continue readingReady for a silly post? Which suddenly came to me when I was watching Chandni with y’all this morning?
Continue readingThis is all very exciting and last minute, the National Guard just opened up some mass vaccination centers in IL, and if I drive for 6 hours there and 6 hours back I could get a shot TOMORROW. So I took the slot, told my boss I was gonna be out of office, asked my parents to dogsit, and called my doctor to make sure she could give me a note to confirm I qualify under the new very very loose IL State restrictions. All of this in like the last hour. And then I thought “woops! I have to reschedule Friday watchalong!!!”
Continue readingThis is really an unbelievable performance. As in, you watch the movie, enjoy the movie, then look it up and discover that it was Sridevi’s first adult role and she was only 13 and go “I don’t believe it”.
Continue readingSridevi! Was a star from 13 to 54, but I want to focus on the last few years. Generally women of a certain age aren’t given good roles, but she came out with Puli, Mom, and English/Vinglish proving that wrong. In her honor, let’s share our favorite actresses of a certain age who are still working and proving their strength.
Continue readingI’ve reposted this review a bunch of times, but turns out that I never added on the “no spoiler” part to a repost before. So, yaaaay! Something to read if you are deciding if you want to watch this movie and don’t want to be spoiled! And then spoilers after the SPOILER bar, if you do want to be spoiled.
Continue readingOr none of the above! I know the flavor of the movie I want to watch on Friday, I want one that tastes like silliness and sunshine, and that kind of free feeling of walking down the street and smiling and smelling the asphalt and hearing the traffic go by and swinging your purse. But I don’t know what movie that is.
Continue readingThank you Alisa for alerting me to this news. For once a death occurs on the western news cycle, so I get to hear about it mid-evening instead of waking up to it first thing.
Continue readingI could talk about Mahesh Bhatt, or Sanjay Dutt, or Sridevi of course. Or the Hong Kong setting or the crazy plot twists. But for the small community of DCIB, and the even smaller sub-section of DCIB that would be interested in an average film of the mid-90s, I feel that BOB CHRISTO SEX SCENE is what is most likely to get you excited.
Continue readingI’m gonna get a bunch of people yelling at me for this because it isn’t totally perfectly comprehensive and accurate. I’m sorry! I’m trying! This is close enough!
Continue readingThis is a silly silly movie. If you feel the need for total escapism and fantasy and just wacky weird insanity, this movie is here for you. Also, it isn’t very good. Oh, and I know I am all late and backed up on my reviews, I’m gonna catch up this weekend. It’s just been a lazy week.
Continue readingSong post! Which may or may not get views, but will make me happy to put together.
Continue readingBad Girls month, woo-hoo! Let’s see if this brings views back. Or if I just have to wait until there is another big movie in theaters people are excited about. Or do drugs and rock ‘n roll to go along with my very popular “sex” week.
Continue readingOkay, let’s do this! I’ll probably still throw in some bonus films along the way, and it is possible that if someone suggests something awesome, I may swap out a later one for something else. But for now, this is the list!
Continue readingI find this kind of weirdly fascinating, you can make an argument that one very successful and influential director permanently altered the sexual desires of a whole ethnic/language group made up of billions of people.
Continue readingHappy Fat Tuesday! The celebration of indulgence continues. And my office currently has a total of 28 Poczki’s that we need to eat (I bought a dozen, and then my co-workers mother sent 16 more).
Continue readingNo one cared about my Bad Girls Theme Month announcement, but maybe this will give you something more to talk about. What movies should I write about?
