ended February with an anti-romance movie- a young man in love learns to accept that she doesn't like him back from the 90s aka the PEAK of bollywood romances starring shah rukh khan the romance king himself - it's cool to see how it reverses the popular tropes (harassment) and tells a good message

looking at this year's eid releases (the biggest indian movies typically release on holidays) and sorry its dhurandur 2 and toxic????? Dhurandur 2 the indian guy killing a bunch of evil muslim pakistanis movie and Toxic the alpha sigma male abusing women movie???? i just wanna see a movie bro

watched kushi as our final romance movie for february and it managed to sneak in as my favorite!! two ppl are too egotistical to admit their feelings- great premise strong emotions. i didn't start as a strong pk or bhoomika fan but their acting- especially during the key emotional scenes- sold it

instagram reels is my favorite shortform content platform because not only has the algorithm managed to figure out I like indian movies, it has specifically figured out I'm a vijay fan, an anirudh fan, and a tiger shroff/war/war2 fan

as a pou (person of unemployment) watching tamil movies is too stressful

skipped a few I'll redo the recap later buttt thiruchitrambalam sometimes we pick movies literally just for the soundtrack... and the movie was actually really good! but wow, the soundtrack!! I cant believe anirudh keeps doing nonsense like beast and indian 2 when he could b doing stuff like this

rewatching one of my new favorite movies for the first time later for valentines day yayyyy #excited

One afternoon of ambiently watching old mediocre movies: probably a waste of time Four year of afternoons ambiently watching old mediocre movies: the origin story of a deep cinematic knowledge spanning genres that can not be replicated through artifice or design

having a neighbor who's a proper cinephile is so embarrassing they're like oh have you seen any wong kar wai films and im like no i want to but im too busy watching bad movies on purpose

weird indian movie trend in the past yearish where all of a sudden Japan is trendy? every movie has a fight scene now where they head to Japan and fight the yakuza with ancient samurai swordsmanship

HAPPY VALENTINE'S

week 2: we're allergic to picking 2 good movies in a row so we picked something from our favorite flop director, siddarth anand!! his movies are just so bizarrely melodramatic in a way I can't describe. the blatant homophobia makes the fact that he made the best gay movie ever (War) even funnier

bollywood movies set in an anglophonic country are funny for various reasons but one of the funnier tropes is making every American man gay?? there'll be a movie set in the 2000s US (a very homophobic time!!) but every white dude they meet is an incredibly offensive stereotype. god I wish

watched the beginning of Kaithi, which is a notable movie as its on the (very small!) list of Indian movies without songs. then a song started playing

watched 17 movies in january somehow

we have a good amount of romance movies on our list but we're never in the mood to watch them, so as february approaches we're making an effort to get around to them despite starring vjs and madonna sebastian (love them both) we put off this movie for over 6 months 💀

its dangerous out there😨im scared...

whenever im managing my time I feel like dril candle tweet. sorry I can't do friday that's movie night. saturday is movie night too. monday is tv night actually but tuesday? movie night again. and I can't cancel them obv

showed a vijay movie to my neighbor and explained some vijay lore while listening to vijay songs and I forgot my letterboxd pfp was also vijay so now she probably thinks I'm a crazy person, he isn't even my favorite tamil actor named vijay

KIN LIST 1. Communist Girlfriend (Communist Girlfriend Capitalist Boyfriend (2022) dir. Naveen Mullagi) Quote: "If you say one more bad word about Communism, I don't know what I'll do!" Why: Literally me (Communist, Girl, Friend) thanks for watching

movie night w/our neighbor had a surprise double feature courtesy of "it's free on tubi"

the music director who made one of my favorite telugu film songs reused it (literally identical except the lyrics) for a completely unrelated tamil film for some reason so now i have two favorite songs :D

they changed the subtitles for the dub

the new vijay movie looks either terrible or amazing(ly terrible)

got incredibly incensed about the screenwriting template Save the Cat earlier so I downloaded every single Save the Cat® branded book to be an informed hater

i think i shall start actually using letterboxd this year
