Okay, finally watching #HappiestSeason... I shall tweet my thoughts with no spoilers. 🥰

 Fun little reindeer kink scene. 😂
I literally thought: "this has gotta be Ohio or PA", and looked it up and sure enough...
Kristen Stewart pet-sitting for others during the holidays on an annual basis hits waaaay too close to home.
The "marriage as an institution" dialogue is a bit meh. Not the point itself, but I feel like I've listened to this exchange a million times.
HOLY SHIT.. never ever ever ever ever ever (ever x 1000000) ask your queer partner to visit the family with the understanding everyone is on the same page and then on the way there be like: "So... they actually don't know we're together or that I'm queer."
That is SO shitty. That's a consent thing. So incredibly shitty and selfish.
I'm actually pissed right now. Fuck that.
Stopping the movie to say this: Her parents are dead. She doesn't have an immediate family. She watches other people's pets on the holidays. And Harper--flush with family--just decides she'll trick her into coming for a closeted experience w/ family? Fuck this.
"I get it. I'm asking a lot of you."

YOU DIDN'T ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE HARPER
"Okay, we can do this."

Oh, just that like? Like we're watching a Ben Stiller holiday flick and this is the quirky subplot?

Holy fucking shit.
"Oh and... don't mention you're gay."

AARRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look, I'm sorry, but I really fucking hate the message this sends to queer folks that Kristen Stewart's character is being chill and understanding over being tricked into a road trip to see family and asked not to reveal they're in a relationship OR THAT SHE'S GAY.
Reminding myself to not tweet spoilers. I shall be careful.
Damn, Josh Hartnett's poster is like seeing a ghost.
I really do not like Harper at all.
Run, Abby. Run. This family fucking sucks. Run.
Aubrey Plaza rolling in like a goddamn superhero.
"I know it's what she needs right now."

Oh, Sweetie...
Okay, this is besides the point, but I would actually have no problem with Alison Brie talking shit about me.
The whole ass kitchen scene. Yikes on bikes.
I get that Jane is supposed to be annoying, but she's arguably the best part of this movie, so far.
Icy Alison Brie is giving me feelings, and I am only slightly ashamed.
Oh @AnaGasteyer, I love you. 😂
Dan Levy flushing the fish is a perfect sight gag.
Ah, a literal closet. Fun fun fun.
I'm just gonna assume the sex is mind-blowing because there's no way in hell...
These kids need an ass-whoopin' but we don't do that anymore, so these kids need the modern equivalent of an ass-whoopin'.
I could watch Aubrey Plaza sing kitschy holiday songs for hours.

Actually, I could just watch Aubrey Plaza do anything for hours.
Harper is truly insufferable.
Hey @JennaEllisEsq, this lesbian holiday movie features “Silent Night”. Thought you should know.
Abby’s outfit at the Christmas party is a rebellion and no one can tell me otherwise.
“I’m not hiding you. I’m hiding me.”

YOU LITERALLY TOLD HER TO NOT TELL ANYONE SHE’S GAY YOU ASSHOLE
Hey @JennaEllisEsq, I meant @kayleighmcenany, but I can’t tell any of you apart anymore, so honest mistake. Anyway, watch the lesbian holiday flick to hear “Silent Night”.
Dan Levy is killing his lines at the Christmas party.
Whew. No spoilers, but that scene. Whew.
Ehhhhhh... not here for Dan Levy’s character’s beautiful speech being contextualized as covering for Harper’s bullshit. That’s very gross.
“I don’t have any secrets, but I *am* an ally.”

Y’all, Jane is so great. 😂😂😂
Ehhhh.... look, to each their own in that situation, but nah. Sorry. I wouldn't be able to do it after all that.

Bollywood is going through an unimaginable crisis.
Many big budget films are rotting in the cans while most under-production films are stuck.
The multiplexes are bleeding and single screens are gasping for breath.
The OTT platforms have become really choosy.
Who will report this?


Nobody from the journalism world seem to be interested to report this.
So here's a thread about how Bollywood has been severely impacted by the recent events and how it might be a body blow to the entertainment industry as we know it, if the situation doesn't change in six months

I was chatting with @taran_adarsh today.
He says that most big banner films are wait-listed for the theatres and they have all been rescheduled to 2021.
But here's the problem.
There will be a huge backlog as and when situation normalises in 2021 and people come back to theatres.

But the worst sufferers, as @taran_adarsh, concurs with me, are productions on a budget.
They are the ones which have and will be suffering the most because of lack of space.
"This situation is beyond anybody's control. Nothing can be done. We can just wait and watch," Taran says

OTT platforms haven't been able to come to the rescue.
The recent debacle of few over-hyped films have put them on the backfoot.
Nobody is ready to shell out dollars without watching the content and calculating its viability. The OTT sell prices on offer have drastically reduced.

Doolittle is weirder and worse than I expected. It pulls the Hunt for Red October language trick but for animal noises, and introduces the concept of the Doctor talking to animals three times in the first fifteen minutes, in case you forgot.

This movie is a higher budget FARCE OF THE PENGUINS.

Apparently it's Dolittle.

I was not prepared for just how bonkers that was.

At one point, Dolittle's boat blows up, so Antonio Banderas gives him a new one. And everyone is hanging out on it as they sail and they hear a voice say "company!"

Right, so since I got a bottle of Australian white going through my system, its just as well I capitalise on that & do a drunk movie review. Its "The Chronicles Of Riddick", a film I have a love-hate-relationship with. Excellent visuals & one liners, but atrocious plot & casting.


Mute this thread if movie reviews, drunk or sober, bother you. Thanks, with a cherry on top.

This btw is the Directors cut of the film. So there's like 15 minutes of extra footage explaining to us all the bad choices David Twohy made in producing a sequel to PITCH BLACK, that clearly looked at Lord Of The Rings and then just ran through three lines of cocaine.

For what its worth, thats not a rip on Twohy himself, but realistically speaking CHRONICLES vs PITCH BLACK makes Cameron's ALIENS look like the petting zoo-sequel to "Hey, why not get a guinea pig for Christmas" pet choices of Ridley Scott's ALIEN.

Just to substantiate this claim, this is the first I dunno 15 seconds of the film. Wth is going on right?! Again, stupifiying visuals but context people!

We can all agree the bad guy in Mandalorian is Michelle Obama right?

We can at least establish that right?

What's the next season Jedi school?

The parallels are palpable. This is like that 2011 movie Another Earth

I'm gonna do my other star wars thread tomorrow, which will primarily be me yelling at a @RowanKaiser-shaped strawman for calling the First Order and The Resistance "cosplayers who the rest of the galaxy has to deal with"

the deal w/the New Republic, the First Order, and the Resistance is very weird and complex and I actually take issue with how Story Group frames the actual conflict.

pre-TFA stuff is presented as a "cold war" between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire that form the First Order, which 100% makes sense.

But they frame the First Order's attack on the Hosnian system and the subsequent battle that takes place across TFA and TLJ as a full on war when it's very clearly a coup. A war implies at least equal standing, but the First Order completely wrecks shop and takes over the galaxy.

ok never mind I'm fucking doing this now.

The First Order fleet we see in TLJ is *not* the entire fleet of the First Order (I don't even think Starkiller Base was their main base of operations honestly, it couldn't have been considering they were operating out of Wild Space)

SRI VARAHA NARSIMHA, SIMHACHALAM, VIZAG (AP)
#bharatmandir

One of the 32 Narsimha Kshetram of Andhra. It has a unique form of Narsimha, appearing like a shivlingam

It is said that Narsimha’s fierce nature is soothed by worshipping him with Varaha, considered a peaceful deity


The shrine is believed to have been constructed by Prahlada. With time, it crumbled.
In Treta yuga, King Pururava was passing from here in his vimana. The vimana was attracted to this place by a mystic power.
When the place was unearthed, the deity was found.
@GunduHuDuGa


Pururava’s wife, Urvashi, had a dream that the deity should remain covered in sandalwood paste for the whole year except on Akshaya Tritiya.
This practice has continued till date.
The mukhya mandap here, has a pillar kappam stambham believed to possess curative powers.


Chandanotsava/ Chandan Yatra is the most important festival celebrated on Akshaya Tritiya. The sandalwood paste is removed from the moolavar deity and nijarupa darshan (original form of deity) for twelve hours of the day are done by devotees.

In the Hindu Epic Mahabharata, Ashwatthama or Drauni is the son of Dronacharya and the grandson of the Bharadwaj Rishi. Ashwatthama was a Maharathi who fought alongside the Kauravas against the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War.


According to the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama means the sacred sound associated with the sound of a horse. He was given the name Ashwatthama because when he was born, he cried like a horse.

Here are some interesting facts about Ashwatthama.

- Ashwathama is one of the Ashta Chiranjeevi, Eight Immortals. Ashwatthama was born with a jewel on his forehead, giving him power over all living beings lower than humans. The jewel protected him from hunger, thirst, and fatigue.


- His strength is almost equal to Arjuna’s, especially in archery. Among the Kuru princes, he was good friends with Duryodhan, the eldest son of Dhritarashtra. They both have jealousy towards the Pandavas.


Duryodhan felt that Yudhisthir was his obstacle in inheriting the throne of Hastinapur, while Arjun’s talent made Ashwatthama jealous because he felt that his father’s love had been divided. After all, Arjuna was Drona’s favourite student.

Do you know?

Multiverse is mentioned in several of Hindu Scriptures.

In 1927 came a theory named 'Big Bang' which was a scientific effort to provide some explanation about how our Universe came into existence. It suggested that Universe started as a tiny, hot and dense...


...something that expanded rapidly from the singularity with a big explosion or Big Bang from which formed the galaxies, stars and the rest of the Universe.
However, the science in our Vedas explained these concepts since millennia. Rig Veda mentions Hiranyagarbha and Brahmanda..

...Visphotak which talks about a similar theory.
The concept of Parallel universes may be novel to the modern scientists but it rests very comfortably in ancient Hindu Cosmology. The Puranas are replete with descriptions of many worlds whose inhabitants are ruled by kings in...


...the human plane and Gods in a higher plane. The many Gods in turn belong to many different worlds and planes of existence. At the highest level of hierarchy are the trinity namely Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesha, ruling the divine Kingdoms. Brahma is the creator who dreams...


...the Universe into being, which is maintained by Vishnu. What Humans perceive as reality is in fact the dream of Brahma, misled by matter. Brahman( not to be confused with Brahma) is the ground of all reality & existence. Brahman is uncreated,external, infinite & all-embracing.
