A combination of sickness and boredom have driven me to downloading a ton of notable black films I've either never seen or have never watched in their entirety.Here's a few I've blown through in the past week or so:
The blog got a mention in an article in The Indian Express on phoren Bollywood fans.
I watched half of Singh is Kinng last night, which no lie, is remarkably idiotic.* But this morning on the train I found myself thinking, How is it that I like Bollywood so much better than Hollywood?
I've been meaning to post on Jab We Met because it might just be my favorite romantic comedy...ever.
“You’d want me to take the money? You’d want me to whore out. That’s what they wanted me to do,” he said. “You know how hard it is not to do the conservative thing out there?"After reading the NYTimes piece on" [...] 
Two kingdoms unite
Sooooo, I haven't posted in a while because I'm working all kindsa hustles to get some stuff in gear in the next few months, one of which is spending some time in LaLa Land, otherwise known as, LA--Los Angeles, California.
Just the other day I finally watched the 2002 Academy Award nominated City of God. I knew the film was about street kids in Brazil, had good cinematography, and is supposedly a "must see film" but little else. I pondered the title, recognizing it as [...] 
...I *heart* Huckabee.
a peck on the cheek...are supporting Barack Obama. It. is. so. annoying. Why can't more of them support Hillary? Why are they like, so flaky about the Democratic process? Like, who does Obama think he is, Bill Clinton--the voice of America's youth or something? God, did you see him dancing on Ellen? I mean, [...]
A friend just sent the link to a NYTimes article on Princess Mrs. (Abhishek) Bachchan.
I suppose it's only fitting that I say something about this presidential election. The candidates are putting on quite a show and in all honesty, who can blame them.
Hi:
Know of any Bollywood films depicting the British Raj -- especially 19th
century colonialism? I'm working on a project that looks at former
colonies' cinematic portrayals of colonial periods.
Thanks [...]
Man of disguisesI picked this video up in a random impulse moment at the library. It, along with Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, was laying on the "return" counter. Knowing that anything worth watching has been recently checked [...]
Hides his love in another
Should love conquer all?
There's a nice little piece in Newsweek about current rumblings in the Indian film industry. In some ways, it's kind of sad to hear that folks are going the way of Hollywood. Gangsters and film families are way more interesting...
It looks like the old Rimi Sen post is picking up some heat. First there was the "just toeing the line" comment:It's not that Indians think dark skin is ugly - they just think that it's not "ideal".... it's [...]
You know you're in for trouble when people say, "Can you take him now?" but I did it anyway. How could you say "No" to this precious little face even if he hasn't been properly socialized and [...] Hey, T-Hype:
Occasional reader of your fine blog here with a question you might be able to help me with. A couple [...]
I know. I know. That doesn't really justify my absence but [...] 
Looks like one of the girls found him a cowboy hat. Only in Texas. I tried so hard too... [...] 
WTH?!
Apparently, that's the motto of Hollywood moneymongers these days when it comes to Bollywood.
Korean dramas are Bollywood lite!--Similar story elements sans song and dance.
“Prepare the way for the Lord!” It's time to clean house y'all...So, for all you N-town Christians, this is an invitation:
Get Clean. Get Pure. Get Life.
Join us at Hustler Hollywood downtown on the corner of 14th & Church, from 4 – 6 p.m. [...]
Successful liar
meets her match: a man who needs
lies to find true love
First of all, let me just say, Ajay Devgan doesn't walk y'all. He struts. Furthermore, as irreplaceable as Hrithik is in my hierarchy of actors, there's nothing like some brown skin! (Ok, ok. [...] 
[I just looked through my blog drafts and found this thing lying around and figured it was worth a post...]Love brings out baba's hate.A bad haiku for a bad film.
Not able to cope, daughter
hyperventilates.
...films I borrowed from friend Susan? Just finished Chori Chori (2003) last week. It was a nice 'Welcome Back.'To me it’s unconscionable that you can’t give an aspirin to a child in school without parental consent, but they can have major surgery without parental notification.--State Senator Robert J. Letourneau of New Hampshire in response to the legislature's decision to repeal a law requiring teenage girls to notify their [...]
Exhibit A: The citizens of Yorkshire, UK, enjoying Bollywood week with free dance lessons in the park. Everybody say, "shava shava!"
The title is my description of the Esquire article describing the Bollywood Movie Awards. The article, "Booray for Bollywood" is terribly funny even if it is a bit unkind.
...that June is National Celibacy Awareness Month?"

I don't even like Jerry like that but the news still made me kinda sad.
If like me, you eschew cable television and/or have aged out of MTV, you may have missed the first two seasons of Run's House, a reality show following the mostly ordinary lives of 1/2 of the pioneering hip-hop group Run D.M.C., his wife and [...] Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how to keep it real as a Christian, particularly as a modern protestant. I belong to a denomination that ascribes to no particular outward signs of holiness. We don’t wear any particular headgear, hold no food restrictions and from the best I [...]
In a pretty bold & crazy move on the part of the producers/distributors of Americanizing Shelley, Nashville has been chosen as the opening city for the film and in a surprising second act complication, I've been volunteered to help American Pride Film Group get the [...]
