Happy Friday! On yesterday’s post I wrote “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” when I meant “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, like a FOOL. But now I’m thinking about it and thinking “yeah, I want to see that movie again”. So let’s just do it!

Sunday WatchAlong: JHMS! 8am Chicago Time! Come One, Come All!
Happy Sunday! I spent most of yesterday in bed, and today I may consider trying to do something productive, starting with watchalong!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Sunday at 8am! Jab Harry Met Sejal! My Comfort Watch!!!!
Such a horrible week for me! But thank goodness, light at the end of the tunnel, I get to see Jab Harry Met Sejal. And also, spend most of tomorrow in bed. Heaven.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: What Day, What Time, What SRK Movie?
Naina, a new commentator, is SRK obsessed and unable to make our usual watchalong times. And I know there are others who like to join but can’t at the usual times. So just to shake things up, let me know if you can/want to join, if Saturday or Sunday works better for you, and approximately what time (midday, morning, afterning, evening) Chicago time works for you.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Tara vs Bilal! 8am Chicago Time! Something HAPPY!!!
Happy Sunday! It’s overcast and snowy outside and both me and Albie Dog are feeling grumpy. So this film had better live up to it’s feel good rep!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Double XXL! 7:30am Chicago Time Sunday!!!!
Thanks to Genevieve’s fervent wish for a NOT romance, and the general “eh, 50/50” attitude of most of the rest of y’all, I’m going with Double XXL!!!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Double XXL? Tara and Bilal? Some Other Movie I Should Watch?
I was gonna get better this week about watching and reviewing new movies, and then literally half the staff at work got sick (’tis the season for colds, apparently), so I barely have time to write this post. WatchAlong now looks like my best bet for seeing some of the cool films y’all are recommending!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 7:30am Chicago Time! Sanam Teri Kasam! For Kirre’s BIRTHDAY!!!!
Okay, I know almost all of you have already seen it, but it’s a whole different thing watching it in a watchalong! Join in with the comments below, have brilliant new thoughts, and be all swoony together.
Continue reading2022 Best of Awards! Best WatchAlong!
I’m being scientific here, and just pulling the watchalongs with the top number of comments. Highly recommend you skim through all the comments on all the posts and then place your pick! Just click on the name of the movie to find the post.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Happy New Year!!!! For the New Year!!!! 8am Chicago Time!!!!
Woops, not sure anyone actually confirmed they could join me for this. Oh well, if it’s just me I’ll work on my puzzle while I watch. Still the best way to start the new year!
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Chennai Express! 8am Chicago Time! Because SRK=Christmas
Happy Sunday! I got my coffee, I got my little dog snuggled against me, I am all set to enjoy this lovely film with y’all. Unless no one shows up within the first 15 minutes in which case I cancel and do something else 🙂
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 8am Chicago Time Sunday! Chennai Express! Because SRK is Christmas in Human Form
One of the lucky few DCIB readers who met Shahrukh in real life described the sensation as like Christmas morning. So it makes total sense to call an SRK movie a “Christmas movie”. Right? Or at least, I think it makes sense to all DCIBians.
Continue readingWatchAlong: White Christmas or Chennai Express?
I’m only giving you two options! And they are very very different from each other. White Christmas I think we watched last year and people enjoyed it more than they expected. Also, I love it. So we can rewatch. And Chennai Express is Chennai Express.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Dilwale! 8am Chicago Time!
Woot, Dilwale! For Christmas! Kind of! Anyway, it feels Christmassy to me. And a nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. Oh, and since RSVPs were low, reminder that if no one shows up within the first 15 min, I will just reschedule.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Dilwale at 8am Chicago Time! Unless No One Shows Up in the First 15 minutes and Then Canceled!
Okay, I’ve made a decision! I’m going big, Dilwale! If other folks show up, it will be super super fun. And if no one shows up by 15 after, I get to spend the time wrapping and packing presents instead and we watch Dilwale next week!
Continue readingDCIB Christmas WatchAlong: Dilwale! Or, Something More Traditionally Christmassy. Up to You!!!
I was thinking, Dilwale is a Christmas movie, right? Sort of? And also an Indian film which is technically the Brief for this blog. On the other hand, if you don’t care and are willing to indulge my wild stabs at Western films, I have other silly American Christmas options in my head.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Bachelor Mother! 8am Chicago Time, Cute rom-com with a Cuter Baby
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a nice Christmas black and white romance. With smart dialogue and a baby and a cool department store setting.

After soooooooooo many weekends off, I am back! I really really REALLY want to watch a movie with y’all! So the most important question is, what day and time works best?
Continue readingReturn to WatchAlongs! Christmas Movies for December! Who’s In and What Do You Want to Watch?
I swear, I’m not trying to convert you into Christmas people. You can stay Halloween people or Easter People or Eid people or whatever. But there are a lot of great stupid fun songfilled romantic heartwarming Christmas movies that I think we would all enjoy.

It’s Sunday, I’ve ordered coffee, I’ve walked the dog, I am ready to watch a nice South Indian version of Jane Austen.
