Fine! 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!
Continue readingAfter much backing and forthing, I think I have decided what we are doing this weekend. Chaahat! At 7am! Because it is on Netflix and it’s BONKERS!
Continue readingI cannot BELIEVE that Karan-Arjun is still not available on any streaming service! It’s a cult classic, it’s referenced constantly, but nooooooooooooo, you can’t actually watch it anywhere. Boooooo! Of course, it is available on einthusan, but einthusan has those funky streaming issues, so don’t know if it is worth it.
Continue readingIt’s still SRK month! So all watchalongs must be SRK watchalongs! What are we feeling this Sunday? If anyone is even available?
Continue readingI’ve been avoiding this not because it is terrible, but because the version available streaming is incomplete. However, the minute length seems to have changed? So I have hope! And if it is still incomplete, you just have to let me summarize the missing bits for you.
Continue readingI don’t care that Genevieve did an impassioned plea for Paragu! She’s just gonna have to keep waiting. Maybe for her birthday? Genevieve! Tell me your birthday! I like Daawat E Ishq, it is fun and happy and a lovely way to start the day, and Pari only gets married once (hopefully).
Continue readingHappy Thursday! It’s been another difficult week for me and I want something FUN to look forward to on the weekend! What could be funner than a watchalong?
Continue readingI don’t even know what film would be appropriate! He hasn’t gone Full Masala very often, and Jawan is definitely Full Masala. I suppose other Army films? Which means Veer-Zaara (I hate it) or Jab Tak Hain Jaan (I hate it) or Main Hoon Na (I love it). Or other Young Lady Mentor films, so Chak De India (Love it) or Dear Zindagi (love it).
Continue readingI’ve got a packed weekend, BUT I would be able to squeeze in Red White and Royal Blue. Anyone up for a watchalong of a nice 3 hr American rom-com?
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, watchalong! Although I still don’t quite believe it will happen, I think I’ll do the “if no one is there in the first 15, I’m shutting it down” thing.
Continue readingThis is the week! I’ve got a good feeling about it! Surely you want to see naked Jackie Shroff and a female soccer team take on southern superstar Vijay in a triple role? Also, same director as Jawan so we have to watch it before Jawan?
Continue readingEven if YOU don’t want to watch it to prepare, I want to watch it to prepare! Join me! On Saturday or Sunday!
Continue readingI am all pumped for another watchalong! Hopefully I’m not flying too close to the sun, trying to do 3 in a row. And I have such good options for us too!
Continue readingLast Sunday was so fun! I wanna do it again! But only if it is convenient for folks and we pick a movie everyone wants to see, not otherwise.
Continue readingThis would normally be a terrible choice for a watchalong because you really have to focus. But I’ve seen it 3 times now, and I’ve read most of the book it’s based on, so I THINK, I can keep up the footnote comments and tell you what you missed and all of that.
Continue readingOh boy oh boy! A ridiculous 90s movie! The best kind of movie! Plus, this one has Rahman music and young Aish when she was ridiculously beautiful and a really really crazy plot that involves a lot of twins.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! I want to do another watchalong on Saturday or Sunday! You know I love my watchalongs, and last week was soooooooooooo fun.
