Blather! NPH! Kdrama! Hindi song! Art Rec!

[ileliberte]

• It has been exactly a month since I last posted any fanart D: More Star Trek's coming up soon though, Thursday, in fact (for trekreversebang) and then my second one later in the month, and I'm doing art for two stories for SPN Bigbang, drafts due June 1, and I am finishing up one art commission and starting up another huge one, not to mention the various fanart ideas flitting through my head all the time and aaaahhhhhhhh!!!! *runs around like a madwoman*

• Being a mod for a challenge can be incredibly fun and exciting, but sometimes... *points up to the running around like a madwoman sentiment*

• NPH was on Glee tonight. It's very hard for me to be objective about anything he does ♥♥ (ok, he still can't make me watch Beastly or the Smurfs movie, but other than that...) This was the first episode I watched of Glee and well, the show's not my thing, but Lea Michele does have a really beautiful voice.

• Anyone around here watching korean dramas? Specifically "Life is Beautiful"?

• Here's a video of Ishq hua, a song I really like (from a hindi movie called Aaja Nachle), featuring an actress I have a huge crush on, and an actor who isn't hard on the eyes either. It has (mostly accurate) subtitles too, and it's kind of sweet and funny:

• And to wrap up the post, here's some stunning art by nami86, Stained Glass Windows. All sorts of characters from Supernatural painted like they were on stained glass windows. Very large image, and absolutely worth waiting for the aeons it takes to completely load at full size.

Awesome vid! I love the differences in the clothing, how the one girl is dressed slightly more Westernized. And the part where the girl keeps backing up so she can make sure he's watching her stomp off LOL!

We have a pretty good collection of international dvds at work (our local Library) but we don't have any Bollywood so far. Got any recs for some I could get off Amazon to watch before I donate them? Have to have subtitles and be reasonably priced. Good stories, good music and production values, something to teach us about India if possible?

The clothing difference is deliberate because she's supposed to have returned from the US when the movie starts :) And yes, I love that stomping off bit.

Hm, off the top of my head, some of my favorites: Dor (lovely female friendship), Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (serious but hopeful), Lagaan (period film and has a lot of cricket in it, but the cricket is almost a metaphor, and also, the songs are awesome), Taare Zameen Par, Astitva, Omkara (adaptation of Othello, and IMO, skilfully done), Anand (older movie, tear jerker). I really enjoy all of them. I'm not sure about Anand, but the others should have subtitles.

Thanks! I've got them marked in my Amazon wish list. Most of them are really reasonably priced too.

That movie is a delight, and each of the songs and dances is beautiful! That girl (I forget her name) is scrumptious. So is Madhuri Dixit, for that matter.

I love the Laila Majnu sequence, the "Is Pal main hu" song bit especially. And Konkona Sen Sharma really is scrumptious, I watch pretty much everything she's in :D
