Happy Saturday! I am very VERY excited about doing a WatchAlong with y’all. My housemates are spending the day at C2E2, the huge Chicago fanfest which sounds crowded and unpleasant. Thank goodness I can celebrate my fandom from my couch with my dog and my lovely internet friends!
Continue readingWatchAlong! Woot-woot! We haven’t done on in foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever. And we can finally watch Kuch Naa Kaho because it is available for rent on Prime!
Continue readingI think only FilmiKudhi and I will be super excited about this, but we will be VERY excited! Kuch Naa Kaho is a minor but enjoyable rom-com from the 2000s which has not been available anywhere but einthusan for ages. And now it’s for rent! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We can do a WatchAlong!!!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I got to sleep allllllllllllll the way to 8am today. And now I get to watch this lovely thing with you lovely people, and drive around doing errands, and then come home and have dinner with The Upstairs People. Oh, and if everyone ends up being too busy to come, I will give it 15 minutes for someone to join and then quit posting comments.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, watchalong!!!! Hoping folks can make it, I picked 8am instead of 7am because this is a less than 2 hour movie. Be warned, it is also NOT a child friendly movie (sex sex sex in the plot), so those with kids, take care.
Continue readingI just learned through an Anil Kapoor interview that Rhea’s made another female friendship movie! I love her female friendship movies! But I would rather watch them with an actual group of friends, so I am hoping I can coordinate a watchalong.
Continue readingLet’s do this thing!!!! Hopefully it’s not too last minute (especially for the internationals). If it is, that’s okay, I’ll give y’all 15 minutes to join and then just watch on my own.
Continue readingIt’s supposed to snow all day Friday and part of Saturday, and then be FREEZING, so I won’t really want to go out this weekend. But I WILL want to take an imaginary trip to Goa for wise words from SRK.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Time for a nice watchalong with some nice nostalgia, for those of us who grew up reading Archie comics.
Continue readingYes! I think we can make this work!!! I can go Xmas shopping that afternoon and be home in loads of time.
Continue readingIt sounds more and more like The Archies is going to be surprisingly emotional and requiring of moral support! Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy music? Raj Kapoor’s great grandson acting opposite Shahrukh’s daughter? Zoya and Reema doing that sneaky thing where you think it’s just a movie and then you realize it’s social revolution? So, who will support me as I watch???
Continue readingHappy Thursday! The last two weeks, I gave up my picking rights, but now I want to go back to having a Lively Discussion in which I have veto power (the veto power is very important).
Continue readingI just realized, I didn’t get a RSVPs for this one! So if Genevieve shows up, awesome, we watch. If no one shows up, after 15 minutes I stop. But I am pretty sure Genevieve will show up 🙂
Continue readingYes! We are doing it!!! The thing Genevieve has been asking for FOREVER! I am very excited to read all her thoughts on class and servants and family and so on.
Continue readingOkay, I gave in and watched Chori Chori for Filmikudhi’s birthday/Mom-day celebration. So now, just to be fair, I will agree to watch Parugu for Genevie’s Mom-day celebrations. I’m only free for two more watchalongs before the holidays, so decision time! Genevieve! Parugu this weekend or next weekend?
Continue readingI’ve downloaded from einthusan, we’ll see if that works better than streaming. But I will probably still be complaining because it is all weird.
Continue readingFine! I’ll watch Chori Chori! And I bet I will end up liking it too, just to make me even more angry. I hate it when people tell me to do things and I finally do them and I end up liking them. Sunday 7am, in honor of Filmikudhi’s birthday, and the anniversary of her son Mr. Toddles birth.
Continue readingYou know that human thing where the more someone says “you absolutely MUST watch this” the less you want to watch it? Tragically, after 5 years of FilmiKudhi demanding I watch Chori Chori, I would now rather rip my fingernails out by the roots than give in. See also, Genevieve’s epic struggle to get me to watch the new Emma (which I did eventually watch, and love, but it was a battle of wills). Anyway, this weekend we can watch Chori Chori for FilmiKudhi, or I can continue to be an immature brat and we can watch anything else!
Continue readingWoot, Jawan WatchAlong! For DIWALI!!!! I’ve ordered my coffee, I’ve fed the dog, I am ready to CELEBRATE.
Continue readingThe return of a conquering hero? With lots of lights and spectacle? I think that’s Jawan! Totally holiday appropriate. Also, I really wanted to do All That Heaven Allows but it is only available on the Criterion Collection Streaming Service and I didn’t want to force y’all to do that.
Continue readingThis is last minute so I totally get it if no one is available! But I hope some people still are, and are interested in at least one of these movies.
Continue readingShahrukh surprised us with the Jawan drop and now I have to make last minute watchalong decisions! I have a commitment midday Saturday and Sunday afternoon, so morning is best for me. But I’m hoping we can make it work because Jawan is soooooooooo good.
Continue readingAn afternoon watchalong! Radical! And Dil To Pagal Hai, a movie I find dull, but SRK is charming and the songs are okay, so I will survive.
Continue readingYes! A DIFFERENT TIME!!! We will see if this brings in different people! I love our regular crowd, but I also don’t want anyone to feel excluded. So 4pm in the Afternoon Chicago time! Let’s see what happens!
Continue readingNaina had a Hard Week so I am giving her the greatest gift possible, the ability to choose this week’s watchalong movie. Has to be SRK (no duh), and has to be sometime on Saturday or Sunday, but otherwise anything is possible!
