Ugh, I am grump today. I am almost never grumpy, but today I am. It’s been overcast for 6 days straight, and the city is finally fixing our street which is good news but also means there is this irritating construction sound background noise all the time. So I think our Sunday WatchAlong needs to be something SUPER HAPPY.
Continue readingWoot, Sunday movie! I had such a day of accomplishments yesterday, got groceries and hung a picture and all kinds of things, and now it is lovely to just have a nice sloooooooooooooow morning.
Continue readingThis is exciting! There are new movies out there for us to watch together! Also, it’s Dips birthday week (and Rahman and Uday)
Continue readingHappy Sunday! Just like last week, this was a bit last minute, so if no one is able to join by 15 minutes into the film, I’ll just end it and go about my life. Partly because this movie is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to scary to watch all by myself.
Continue readingYes, it’s for allllllllllllllllll the marbles! We pick between the 3 finalists and the winner is our Sunday watch!
Continue readingYes, we are doing a Sunday 7am WatchAlong! And we are watching whatever rom-com wins the rom-com brackets! Currently, by the way, it is a 4 way tie between RNBDJ, Paheli, K3G, and DDLJ. But I am sure a winner will rise to the top soon.
Continue readingMy goodness, yesterday was exhaaaaaauuuuusting. 8 hours cold physical labor interspersed with cold standing around and talking to relatives. Which is why I went to bed almost immediately after getting home and walking the dog (at 8pm! Which is exactly 12 hours after I walked the dog right before leaving home) and now am all bright and chipper early in the morning. And only slightly guilty for falling behind in my review schedule.
Continue readingYaaaaaaay, one of my favorite movies!!! And I get to share it with you! And then have the whole rest of the day because it’s not that long and we are starting early!
Continue readingThis weekend is super busy for me, but in a good way. Saturday is the annual “close up the lake house” day, which is a fun day outside in the crisp weather. And Sunday my friends and I made a date to go to the zoo and see the Halloween decorations and the new baby lion (so cute!). So the only time I have for a watchalong, is pre-Zoo on Sunday morning. And just a shorter film. Thus, Dhanak!
Continue readingHappy Thursday! And Happy Gandhi Jayante Weekend! In honor of which, I think we have to watch a big stupid action movie, right? Satyamev Jayate 2 I’ve heard is epicly delightfully stupid, and A Gentleman is secretly BRILLIANT and FINALLY has subtitles on Hulu.
Continue readingHappy Autumnal Equinox! For once it is truly the start of fall in Chicago, it was 80 degrees yesterday and dropped to 60 today, and looks generally gorgeous outside. Makes me excited about staying in and watching a cozy movie this weekend.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! We are watching this perfectly pleasant 90s movie that, somehow, is a beloved favorite of many of you. But, WHY??? I understand liking it, I like it myself, but a favorite? Oh well, I live to serve, so y’all get to have a nice watchalong with me.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Shelomit! And thank you for choosing something that’s not super super weird. While also, a little bit weird. Oh well, it’s your birthday pick, you get whatever you want.
Continue readingOkay, weekend watchalong! Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday (American 3 day weekend, woot). And I don’t have to make any decisions, because it is Shelomit’s late birthday celebration weekend. Shelomit! You pick!
Continue readingHappy 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 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 readingWoot! WatchAlong! I am slowly getting my life back! My weird pandemic isolation movie based life! Whatever, still better than being a milk and cheezit machine for a small child like I was last week.
Continue readingHappy Kajol Weekend! We get to watch a silly silly 90s movie with baby Kajol and Saif and a couple classic songs.
Continue readingI know she hasn’t really acted regularly in decades, I know her last work has been uneven, and yet I still love her. And it’s her BIRTHDAY! We have to watch something fun for her!
Continue readingThis is the weekend of my insane cross-country driving trip (assuming my COVID tests from yesterday come back negative, now my brain has decided to worry about that). Anyway, I’m planning to drive all day and then stop early evening to get a hotel before I wear myself out, so I could do a watchalong Saturday or Sunday evening. Or early Monday Morning, my last driving day when I will have earned a slow start.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaay, an American musical! So glad I get to share this one with you. And it is good for y’all to see it, because this is one of many classic American musicals that influenced both Farah Khan and Prabhudeva in their work. For real, Farah even acknowledges this one in particular as one of her hidden tributes in “Dhoom Tana”.
Continue readingI kind of am looking forward to staying inside and staying cool this weekend, let’s find a nice movie to watch together! And Saturday is the best time for me, but Sunday and Monday are also on the table.
Continue readingWell, the week started with one of my co-workers going out for surgery meaning we were down a person, continued with a sewage backup in the basement, then on to the electricity flickering, plus general heat related exhaustion and misery. I’ve finally made it to the weekend and I think I need to focus on doing anything that will make me NOT spin out with anxiety. So, no watchalong (since almost no one could join anyway), instead we shall all think of nice things to do for ourselves this weekend.
