seriously, vagina fairness cream? ALL THAT IS WRONG ABOUT HUMANS.
madras, 2009. somewhere by gandhi beach.
this menu gave us a migraine. but let no one tell you that a trip to india wouldn’t be entertaining at the least.

these are the maps i live for.
if only i could transfer this image into people’s heads when they ask me if i speak indian, life would be that much sweeter.
this crappy youtube is a glimpse of the movie experience in madras. you are watching people losing their shit for a trailer of what might be the 15 trillionth tamil love story.
there will be nothing new or special about that movie except that it’s highly hotly intensely anticipated. why? because reasons.
i’m posting this as a public service announcement if you or your loved ones ever plan to go to a south indian movie theatre. it’s really closer to a pantomime with real time reactions (including dancing out of sheer fucking excitement) than it is to a regular get-your-tubs-of-popcorn-and-stare-at-the-screen experience you get anywhere else.
i also want to point out that guy who made the video here also offers some trivia about the music composer in the end (he was his senior at PSBBSSS). this will happen throughout the movie. there will be entire conversations as if nothing has changed since the lights have dimmed and a giant projection of a motion picture has commenced for them to stop discussing the price of cauliflowers or something.
i miss this. kind of.

r.i.p. shammi kapoor: bobble head. groovy bramachari. bonafide junglee.
the set is trimurthy-worthy and the chick debra paget is nimble, i’ll give them that. but vot vot vot is this germany? i’m gonna go on a limb and guess that the princely-looking turban dude and his band of brahmins are not the good guys.
The Tiger of Eschnapur, or in original German, Der Tiger von Eschnapur, is a 1959 German adventure directed by Fritz Lang. It is the first of two films comprising what has come to be known as Fritz Lang’s Indian Epic; the other is The Indian Tomb (Das Indische Grabmal). Fritz Lang returned to Germany to direct these films, which together tell the story of a German architect, the Indian Maharahaja for whom he is building a temple, and the Eurasian dancer who comes between them.
because indian temples are always based on german architecture (*they stole the atharvaveda doncha know).

*i have no idea about the origin of that accusation. i just hear it all the time.
