Maybe…. @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus …?

@Matthew_Blanchette:disqus - it's Abhishek Bachchan, who is seldom the brightest bulb on the tree! To us it's kind of hilarious - his old man is, and always was, a very focused and versatile actor, while the son kind of slots into the category of "the Don Johnson of India".

Ugh, @disqus_7yj0gQ59Dn:disqus !

Only in the Eye of the Beholder, @FerdinandCesarano:disqus - as I didn't find any of them to actually be funny, which you would think would be the First Rule of Comedy.

@avclub-e0b2ce3685c37ff452b211bd8b6b1b5c:disqus - oh, no, you almost never see an Indian movie where somebody shows themselves to be much more fluent in Hindi (or English) than expected as a joke!

Actually, I do - if you mean Italian genre films like giallo, Italian SF/Fantasy, or Italian Horror, @disqus_AtDSRZfBar:disqus .

@Matthew_Blanchette:disqus - not really, it's a loose series with lots of motorcycle stunts - sort of Bollywood's version of The Fast and the Furious.

Wait - you're not a Facebook friend of mine already, @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus ?

Dostana, which is surprisingly good, @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus ! For a movie about two straight guys pretending to be gay to take advantage of a situation, it's nowhere near as offensive as I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry or even Three's Company.

Sadly true, @avclub-720d9baccb1a37e5a2825a12ad290bdb:disqus - how such a promising premise with so many capable people can be so generic is beyond me.

Given that Abigail Spencer was a highly-regarded actress everybody was looking forward to in a starring role before Timeless started, @avclub-063b769b947ac8aa8a873cbf9727190d:disqus ? I think she might land on her feet, and have a chance or two more to show she can carry a show - before she turns into the 2010's

So - Bill Gates is busy inventing a time machine so he can be the ultimate patent troll, @Daesim:disqus ?

I first came across it in an Alfred Bester short story from the 1950s, "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed", @tavernacle:disqus and @avclub-ed0871ac01726144474982051e55c5f4:disqus . Bester described the alternate timelines as a pot full of spaghetti - and people who kept altering the timeline so much to affect the outcome

I think you beat me to a Time Tunnel reference, @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus .

Uh - to prove the expensive Time Travel machine works, only to be lost in time, so they send somebody after him who also gets lost in time, @tavernacle:disqus ?

Oh, I remember him, @souvien:disqus ! Brother - that was back when just about anybody could be a stand-up comic….

You're right, @bigstimpycat:disqus - I have no idea what you're talking about.

Swades is the SRK film with him as a NASA scientist, @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus - and yes, it's one of my wife's favorite Indian movies. She bought it on Blu-Ray, along with Dehli 6, Mangal Pandey, Three Idiots and Rang De Basanti for our permanent collection.

I'm not entirely sure what "talking about 45 at all" means, @bigstimpycat:disqus. If you mean 24, I was making the point that the underlying theme of that show is always "The Bad Guy is Some Brown Person Who Does Horrible Things Because, Well, He's a Brown Person" - the same point Donald Trump made all the way to the

People don't break into long, elaborate song&dance numbers in your world, @avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus ?
