😭😭😭😭😭 missing my sanity yes

43

Predicted top 2 songs so accurately I have to laugh 😭😭😭😭😭😭 too self aware of my hyperfixations 🥲🥲🫡🫡

Also can you tell I play my sad bollywood rock playlist on a loop?

(Also two KK songs in top 5🤌🏻✨)

It would be much longer if I dig deeper, but for now this is top of my head.

After ONE WHOLE YEAR of nagging, not only did I get @mrnarci.bsky.social to FINALLY watch Pride and Prejudice but it also made it to his favorites on letterboxd 😎😎😎

*CUE VICTORY DANCE*

8 movies and a miniseries this week. Pretty decent 4 ⭐ overall 🫡🫡🫡

Okay I will ask @ajaidoesnttweet.bsky.social to definitely not visit her at her boarding and definitely not parcel her to me 😋

Will tell mimi her mom said this 🧐🧐🧐

Thinking of getting myself named a cult leader considering the sheer amount of people who started watching 911 because of me 😌

That's proof that I give good recommendations 😎

Oh he could never prove us wrong

You are in denial

He has no taste if he doesn't watch our epic show

I LOVE THEM ALL I WILL NOT CHOOSE

Also you spelled shamelessness wrong

I am very zen now about you not watching stuff I recommend but I do love annoying you

We should do that even if not to get him to watch but just to annoy him

The BGM for this movie exists in another world istg but especially this whole sequence with these two even when she comes out of the hotel and the wind is blowing 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Drop that lockscreen

My most favourite frame from one of my top favourite movies of the year. The color just pops and Zendaya and Josh look absolutely stunning. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

I will post screenshots of what WE ALL have to deal with vis a vis you then we will see 🙄

Oversharing in a gc? Could never be me 🫡🫡🫡🫡

OMG congratulations 🎉👏🏻 so happy for you 💜

He's too much of a snob for that

Ya that's what people who lose say 😎

Wow end of your filmbro era and also second year of me overtaking your LB score

hi is this thing on

Letterboxd: This is such a beautiful feature set in Mumbai—could you share your favorites that also take place here? Payal Kapadia: Oh, this is a tough question. There are some films from the ’80s or ’70s, from a director called Basu Chatterjee. There’s a film called Chhoti Si Baat, which has a lot of iconic Mumbai spots in it and captures the zeitgeist of the time. Sai Paranjape made a film called Katha, which is based on a chawl, which is a very Mumbai architectural housing society. Saeed Akhtar Mirza’s films are amazing. He made a film called Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro, which is a very quintessential Mumbai film about an underdog chap who has some kind of existential crisis. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is a great film as well! There’s also a documentary by Madhusree Dutta called Seven Islands and a Metro, which is a very interesting film, and, of course, Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! is an epic Bombay film—you can’t forget about that.

Letterboxd asks All We Imagine As Light director Payal Kapadia about her favourite Bombay movies and glad to see the movie that came out top in @thisislln.bsky.social, @aishworryya.bsky.social and my Bollywood Drafts episode is represented. 😎 cc: @vertigay314.bsky.social
