for me, the heart of monkey man was its immense love for india, and the confidence of articulating that love through representation and criticism—the things that make india beautiful are not the colorist, hindu-nationalist propoganda stories of bollywood but largeness of the diaspora: indians who trans, who are muslim, who have been oppressed by their government, who are unacknowledged by society, etc—and prevail despite the odds stacked against them. they are encouraged to be themselves and fight against these occupational forces.

major props to dev patel for showing that hey, you actually can make a movie about indians in a way that perfectly encapsulates the various cultures, mythologies, AND egregious political climate, while also highlighting indian people and giving them the recognition and respect they often don't recieve in western—OR bollywood—canon. now that we know it's possible (it always was) i want more! thanks!

(also it helped that he was either in a suit, shirtless, or covered in blood [sometimes two at a time] for most of this movie. dev patel, i literally only need one chance...)

The writers strike could impact your favorite show! A season might get cut in half causing the writers to send the main character to hell instead of saving him. He might have to be rescued by an angel the next season, whom he will have a homoerotic relationship with over the next ten years, shaping the culture of some blue website and changing the way people receive world news for years to come!

Hol up this makes me think of all the things that happened to Buck this episode in his coma dream and how he basically said "that's all" to Bobby. Did Eddie see something in his own near death state?

Im glad we all agree Eddie is lying about not remembering much else from the shooting because Ryan really put a lot in the subtleties of that moment, you could completely tell that Eddie was carefully choosing his words, pausing slightly and not meeting Buck’s eyes when he said “that’s all”. If this comes back to punch me in the face I will not be surprised at all.

i don’t think we talk enough about the racism nri hindus experience, like as a diaspora kid, the amount of bullying i experienced because i wore a bindi to school when i was in grade 1, was disgusting and it was from teachers and students alike. so I took it off. the bullying didn’t stop. and it didn’t for a couple more years, so when in 3rd grade, I realised it won’t end, i put my bindi back on. I’ve have been wearing one every single day since. it was literally the most badass thing 8 year old me did.

RRR was so right for not doing the "icant kill them because then I'll be no better than them" trope. Bheem said I Need To Crash This Party And If The Old White Ladies Can't Outrun This Tiger That's Just How They Get Got.

And when Ram shot the governor and his blood splattered on " the sun never sets on the british empire " ????? Chefs kiss

During the salute, the angle between the wrist and the lower arm should be maintained in a straight line, and the upper arm should be maintained at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees, 45 degrees from the ground

I have never seen a love triangle (square??) being done so well in visual media before like it's so.....grown-up and mature?? Idk what the right word is but none of the guys are insecure, none of them are jealous of each other, there are no weird mind games. They are childish in other contexts but they are all so grown-up about this one thing it's just so refreshing to watch. They just saw one stubborn murderous gremlin of a woman sauntering about and went.... Ah yes, I'm gonna be a love interest that is so healthy-
