Musical Mondays - Week 25 - Bride & Prejudice

Oh, and then a year after B&P, she starred in Dhoom 2 where she had to do a kissing scene! -

This for sure was a nod and a wink to Bollywood films. It wasn't illegal to show kissing in movies, but there were very few kissing scenes for a long time, IIRC. I watched a few classics with Indian and Pakistani friends and there were always scenes of the protagonists nearly kissing - they draw closer and then at the pivotal point they both turn away, LOL. Anyway, there was an interesting article about it. ETA: Forgot to mention that my friends taught me it was "screw in the lightbulb and bounce the ball." Thought that was funny compared with the film, where they say "screw in the lightbulb and pet the dog" -
Ehhhh....

Well, I don't think an Indian birth certificate is a necessity to become a Bollywood expert. I mean, look at Barack Obama. He wasn't born in America, but he sure became an American politics expert. -

No, I guess it's not a true one. On further Googling, I found out Naveen Andrews doesn't speak Hindi, so I'm sure that's a factor for why he hasn't done any other Bollywood movies. And speaking of Hindi, I can't be the only person who wondered what this meant. -

That part was one of the highlights of the movie. I searched for other movies/clips for Naveen Andrews dancing, but nothing came up. Is it possible this is the one and only Bollywood musical he did? -

In the other thread, taylor pointed out the Harvey Weinstein cameo. Well, Roger Ebert notes this in his review of the movie: -
MTE! I never thought I'd say this, but I had more fun watching (and making fun of) Iron Fist. It was easier to pay attention to IF for this reason alone. I watched all of Punisher, but sometimes it felt like background noise. One minute people are bonding over sandwiches and the next time I look up, they're in a shootout somehow? M watched the 1st episode and the last episode. He might have enjoyed the series more than I did?
-
You're not missing out.
-
I'm watching the Punisher series now and what exactly are his "powers"? That he's a sharpshooter and has anger issues?
-
And he accomplished all that while single-parenting 8 sons clones.
-
It's way dumber than Red Planet. Btw, I totally heard him saying P in the movie! Can you imagine, GATTAPA?
-
But then again, there will be so many layoffs. Guards/soldiers, armored car drivers, courier test administrators, clone containment briefcase manufacturers...

Finally got a chance to watch this video. I started cackling at the first few beats. -
Or, maybe not transport the clone? Let's store the clones near the lab and try not to move them from place to place.
-
I think the issue was that Daxus didn't want anyone else to obtain the clone's antibodies? Because Daxus' business plan was: 1. Clone antibodies 2. ??? 3. Profit

Dude, I was just looking at the HDTGM episode list yesterday and saw that Sucker Punch was coming up. Having listened to the episode, I'm really dreading having to watch this "movie." -

I've only seen Jack Frost, but I'd be ok with any of those movies. -

I think the Darcy-off is too easy. Next week, we should do a Mister-off. Darcy vs Knightley.
