Oh dear, I really wish I liked this movie. It would be so great to buck the critical trend and defend the man I love. But, I can’t. I just don’t like it that much.
Continue readingI’m strongly tempted to investigate VPNs again. I’m not gonna do it for Zee5 because they suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, but now I want it for Netflix India and HotStar India.
Continue readingOh boy! All 4 Zero reviews in one place! This should be super fun. And perhaps not 100% coherent.
Continue readingOh boy, you ready to get HEATED? We all know that Shahrukh did a few films that were not so great in the past few years. But which is the worst of them all?
Continue readingI don’t actually think these are “better” endings, I just like happy endings, even if they aren’t true to the rest of the narrative. Every film should end with a marriage and a baby and a happy reprise of the title song. So in my headcanon, these are how these movies end. Happy happy!
Continue readingThis isn’t a “fixing” the movie post. Maybe you think they are okay as they are. But if you HAD to choose an alternative ending, which one of these would you pick?
Continue readingEven the new Netflix edit leaves on important question unanswered, does Madhavan ever find love? Harmless innocent sweet untouched by passion Madhavan? Is there a woman who will awaken the sleeping sex God inside of him? I say YES!
Continue readingI’ve now seen this movie twice, with a nice long gap between viewings, which kind of lets me shake things out in my head in a better order. And I have watched the slightly clearer Netflix edit along with the theatrical edit. So I think it is time for me to consider what the film was supposed to be about.
Continue readingWell, this was a grumpy day. I kept starting and stopping Zero while watching the cleaning person clean and realizing that the only person who cleans to my standards is me and it is VERY FRUSTRATING watching someone else clean not quite as well. Watching Zero again did not necessarily make me less grumpy. Although at least I had the little treasure hunt for the things that were changed (why? how? what?) to keep me busy!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am sleeping in because yesterday was very very long and very very tiring. I’ll tell you all about it, and then you can talk about your days while I sleep.
Continue readingThis is the review to read if you haven’t seen the film yet but want an idea of what it is like before you make your decision as to whether or not to watch it.
Continue readingFirst, most importantly, ANGIE! And all other Maddy Fans! Maddy is in it for about 15 minutes cumulatively and all he does is stand there looking solid and sensitive in glasses with shaggy hair. Barely has a character. But looks quite good. Everyone else: this movie was a disappointment, but probably still more enjoyable if you go in fresh than if you go in SPOILED. This review is for those who absolutely cannot see it in theaters, or who have already seen it and want to discuss.
Continue readingI woke up soooooo early today. Which is good practice, because I have to wake up even earlier for my flight tomorrow. And it meant I got to watch the new songs just hours after they came out!
Continue readingHappy 2 Days to Zero!!!!! And 6 days to Jesus, but come on, we know which is more important.
Continue readingHAPPY SHAHRUKH MOVIE RELEASE WEEK!!!!!!!! The most wonderful week of the year! And blessed is the year in which it occurs more than once (2017). This has been a long hard slog, getting through 2018 with no release AT ALL for more than 12 months. But the dark time is finally over! Light is coming! Our Lord and Savior will arrive again on December 21! And I guess also on December 25th, for those who follow other faiths.
Continue readingSo many videos today! And I don’t like ANY OF THEM. But maybe you will and can convince me to feel otherwise, that would be nice. I like liking things.
Continue readingAt least Shahrukh didn’t wait until just after I went to sleep, he released this while I was well into REM. So I don’t feel TOO badly about missing it the exact moment it came out.
I am a lazy bear today! Stayed up too late seeing Kedarnath and then trying to keep my eyes open to write a review, on top of a series of late nights and busy times. So today I am giving myself some time to just do absolutely nothing. Except pick up my rugs from the cleaners that I can only get to on Saturdays. But otherwise, NOTHING!
Well, huh! This is a very interesting comparison with the last song. And I hope Aanand L Rai is planning to do something deep and interesting comparing the two of them. Or else it’s just an excuse for a Salman cameo.
Yaaaaaay, first song!!!! It’s swoony, it’s romantic, it’s colorful, it’s delightful. Thank goodness Ajay-Atul came up with something better than what they did for Thugs.
Happy Saturday! Today is the day I do NOTHING. I am very excited about this. Of course, Dog Hazel will still drag me outside for our daily walks, and I should probably buy milk, but otherwise NOTHING. And you can join me in my nothing by lazily talking about gossip stories.
Second post, updated with subtitles and some fan theories from the comments on the first post! And also, just to make sure it didn’t get lost in the flurry of other Shahrukh Day postings.
Yaaaaay, it is finally here! Released late, which means only an hour before I woke up. I am sure Shahrukh was holding it as long as possible in order to make life easier for me.
Well, I’ve hurt Shahrukh by not doing a full real Shahrukh Month celebration, and now he is posting posters right after I get off twitter and go to work. I’m sorry Shahrukh!!!! I still love you! Anyway, I will try to make up for it by giving this poster it’s very own post.
For her birthday (/to take advantage of Kat being trending news today), Shahrukh posted her first look from Zero and a little introductory statement on his twitter. So, let’s obsess over it! The way we do.
