movie glack

jokes aside, the 'localness' that tamil movies have sets them apart from the pure fairytale fantasy of bollywood/tollywood but still allows for the fantastical tone of general indian cinema

which I think is great, and I love tamil loser protagonists, but I don't need the anxiety spikes

the avg bollywood protag is a young handsome millionaire son who's sad because his parents are strict

and the avg tamil protag is an unemployed software engineer in his 30s who has to live with his parents because well, you know, the market isn't good right now,

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

i prefer text message

the best thing about it is that they spoiled literally the ENTIRE movie with the track names

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

A ★★★★★ review of Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (2022) straight up don't understand why this movie has such a low score. I really liked this movie-and imo this isn't a guilty pleasure, or so-bad-its-good, it's just good!! right from the start the writing ...

hashtag cinema I love the unconventionalness of the love story... i wrote an essay boxd.it/d8waLV

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

i mean quantitatively you are now

YouTube video by Sony Music South They Call Him OG - Firestorm Lyric Video | Pawan Kalyan | Sujeeth | Thaman S | DVV Danayya

'they call him OG' is by far the worst example as it's the whole movie

it's 25 years too late to use random kanji for the aesthetic!!

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

our second favorite flop star zayed khan was also in this which means we only have 4 movies left before we complete his filmography like we did tiger'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

"despite not having songs, there are four songs" what

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

it was good

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 💀

zey will use zis for WAR!!!

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

at least she didn't see my spotify wrapped

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
