vir das talking about how the diaspora indian parents are living in an india that no longer exists was so good.

The fact that Vir Das, who is hands down my most favourite comedian as a sad little diaspora desi, is ON TOUR and doing a show near me and I CANT FUCKIN GO is literally more aggravating than I can possibly put into words. Like yes, I know this is very much first world problems, but things have been so not great lately I just wanted to go out and do something fun that I could enjoy without compromising for someone else's interests and schedules.

why do all the words sound heavier in my native language? scratch that. why did I choose to seek refuge in a language of another instead of training my tongue to bear the heaviness of my own?

Hello!

I am looking for that post which is a list of movies, documentary on queer culture in India? I have been failing to find it and i thought i ask you for help. Please if you have remotely similar post or link that fits my description do share it. I would be immensely grateful.

Thank you

Sorry, I only have links to books related to queer desi culture, I can share them if you like, but I don't have anything related to movies or documentaries. Maybe try @desi-lgbt-fest ?

If you’re looking for a fun romcom on Netflix that’s not literal US military propaganda up to the gills with racism like Purple Hearts

just watch Wedding Season

it hits all the good spots:

Fake Dating 

First Generation Immigrants Defying their Parents & Expectations

Nuanced and honest convos with parents that don’t depend on the uber-Western ‘just cut them off!!’ whenever something difficult happens

Enemies to Friends to Lovers

some Girlboss x Malewife wives ngl

Low Stakes for us bitches with severe anxiety

MC’s future WASP-y brother-in-law being the butt of every joke

a Bollywood-esque dance number at the end of the film

Also, the dude from Life of Pie is all grown up look at him

Today on "Lord of the Lunchbreak"

We are revisting Fellowship of the Onion Ring 🙃

As expected the soundtrack slaps

Special effects hold up surprisingly well given how old the movie is

I really like the amount of poems and some they integrated from Tolkien's writing

Aragorn has a really nice voice, can't belive I forgot that about OG childhood crush

The moth who was born and died on the same day of filming its iconic role is adorable 10/10 very fuzzy bab

Definitely wouldn't recommend Uruk Hai birthing ASMR, the sounds of mud are gross af

The stone trolls have such cursed faces

Ok I know they technically replaced Glorfindel but Arwen's entrance is so ethereal and beautifully shot that I can't complain

Asfaloth is such an epic name for a horse

In this essay I will discuss the classical inspirations that Tolkien drew from in using the symbolism of horses and water when flooding the ring wraiths

The palpable relied I felt hearing Gandalf's voice again in Rivendell

Every time I see the eagles I frantically fight the urge to book a ticket to New Zealand

The color grading in the Rivendell scenes make it feel so cozy and safe

Bilbo still calling it Mirkwood 👀 I sense someone is holding a grudge

In Bilbo's handwritten copy of his book he has maps and drawings of Thorin's harp and swords and that devastates me

Always elves and taking no accountability for their actions. Sir if you were there the day the will of Men failed then why didn't you shove Isildur into the volcano and save us all this trouble??

I love the instant bro status Aragorn and Boromir adopt in their first meeting. Underrated friendship.

Maybe I'm just dumb but I feel like the shards of Narsil should be left for just any rando to pick up and toy with.

The pained look on Aragorn's face as he carefully puts the hilt back on the dias 😫

Should we discuss how desperately PJ tried to shoehorn Thorin into an Aragorn mold with the parallel scenes in Rivendell where they bemoan the weakness of their ancestors and fear for their own future...or nah (Bilbo being the parallel to Arwen in the Hobbit bonus scene if you know what I'm hinting at)

Why did Elrond choose to seat the Woodland elves right next to the Ereborean delegation, that is such bad hosting etiquette

That Bilbo jump scare was equally as terrifying and unnecessary watching it 20 years later

The musical transition from Concerning Hobbits to the Fellowship theme was so flawless

Boromir bonding with the Hobbits and teaching them how to use their swords 🥲

'My cousin Balin would give up a warm welcome.' YOU KNOW WHAT IM SURE HE WPULD HAVE

Seeing Gandlaf plow a path through the snow with his staff really makes me wonder how me got it back from Saruman

I wonder who had the job of covering all the actors in snow

Never let it be said that LotR isn't funny. Gandalf struggling to open the Gates of Moria is comedy gold.

Cthulu? What are you doing here?

In love with how art deco Dwarven architecture is. Regardless of how shifty the Amazon series is, I hope we get to see Khazad Dum in its prime.

If Gollum has reflective eyes, and was a relation or ancestor to modern Hobbits, does that mean Hobbits have night vision?

Am I to assume the dwarf holding a book with a knitted jumper was Ori??? Because I did and now I'm sad.

The scene at the bridge of Khazad Dum manages to establish tension better in 3min than most Marvel movies can in am hour

My Haldir simp goggles are stuck so hard on my face i don't notice any other elves

The tear tracks cutting through thr grime on his face, his vulnerability and honesty, his empathy for those around him...that is what makes Boromir a good character. He is no lesser for being scared, especially after years of fighting to keep Mordor at bay.

Well fuckity, the Sean Bean curse strikes again

No you didn't fail, you snapped out of it in the end. 'You kept your honor' BYE IM GONNQ GO CRY IN A CIRNER NOW

Sam I know you made a promise but you are a hobbit and you cannot swimz

Frodo going I hope they find a safer road while the rest of the fellowship trot off to rescue Merry and Pippin.

They end the movie with hope and resilience. Bc Frodo may be the ring bearer, but lowkey Sam is the true hero that the everyman can relate to.

We will be back with more musings when I start Two Truffles

#long post #lord of the rings #LOTR rewatch #this was compiled over the course of the week as I watched parts of the movie on my lunch break #im finishing the last hour ish now that im done with work :D
