Why Why Love making me incoherent...

I hate hate HATE Jia Di's Uncle. The way I haven't hated a character in a long time.

SCUM.

He is going to break his niece's heart for $$$ when she is the only one nice to him. Because he thinks she and Huo Yan are dating and he wants $$$ so he frames Jia Di and Huo Da and takes compromising pics and offers them to Huo Yan and STAB.

HORRIBLE.

DIE.

And oh, Huo Yan. I feel horrible for him, because he is quite reserved, and also somewhat of an outsider, because of being illegitimate (even if acknowledged and heir) so it's really hard for him to let people in and he has with Jia Di and now he thinks she is a slut in it for the money.

BUT

BUT

I want to smack him anyway. You do NOT humiliate Jia Di in public, you don't lash out at her. Didn't you learn your lesson with the phone number? I understand that it's sort of like when Huo Da thought she took his phone, writ large, but COME ON. You know her. Huo Da was at just met her stage when he did the phone thing. OH. STAB. You do not do THAT to Jia Di.

Seriously, I both adore him and want to hit him over the head with blunt objects.

And that is why Huo Da is a better match. Not because he drove all over town looking for her when he thought she was in trouble with loan sharks (and he made it down the stairs, even with his leg in a cast). Not because of the scene where she found out he paid her debts and ran to him and hugged him and he didn't make any smartalec comments but just held her. Not because he bought matching (pnk!) towel and toothbruth and cup for her or because he went spinning with her in the rain, or because he was fighting with her so she'd use the bed and he'd sleep on the floor when she was staying over. Not even because of how he behaved when he saw the ugly scene.

But because, when confronted with the same pictures, he unquestioningly, unhesitatingly, knew it was not Jia Di's doing or fault, and his one thought was how this was going to affect Jia Di. (Though to be fair, he didn't hear the blackmailing call, and plus he knows what the real situation between him and JD is. But still, Huo Yan KNOWS Jia Di).

If I were Jia Di, that would be the moment Huo Yan would be out of the running forever. Because nothing could make me overlook this. Objectively, I'd know why he acted this way, and understand it (the way I do as a viewer, and still love him), but emotionally, that would be it. The gate would shut forever. No grovelling would ever undo it.

ETA: It's my fluffy drama! No fair! Kingone is making me cry. And Rainie is making me cry. And Mike is making me cry. And the angst isn't even so huge, it's just I adore them so. ARGH!

One of the very few celebrity couples I like are Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, Bollywood superstars which recently got married (their wedding created an INSANE media frenzy, because not only are Aish and Abhi superstars, but Abhi is the only son of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, both huge stars themselves. Amitabh is probably the best known BW actor ever).



I mainly like them because they are super pretty, and good actors (in right movies) and have good chemistry together on screen, and oh yeah, being around him makes Aish seem much less than an ice goddess, but instead just a beautiful but warm woman.

Plus, if I didn't like them before, this would do it:

It’s rare to have a Q&A session go on so long that the moderator has to leave. But that’s what happened Tuesday night at India Splendor’s final screening, Guru..."Guru”director Mani Ratnam and stars Aishwarya Rai (looking breathtakingly beautiful in green) and Abhishek Bachchan fielded questions ranging from the message of the movie and its reference to Bachchan’s character taking dowry to what it was like growing up in an “elite” family. And when Lall tried to end the session around 11:30 p.m., the stars said they were willing to continue. At one point Bachchan even told the audience of 300 at the Billy Wilder Theater not to bother with the mics but just shout out their questions.

“You may have thought we were elite, but we were really a middle-class family,” Bachchan said. Whatever his actor parents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri did outside the house, at home they were just Dad and Mom. “And every day we all had dinner together.”

A question about what they liked about each other as an acting couple brought forth a long response from Bachchan to which Rai quipped, “Honey, I’ve already said yes.”

From here.

Pics from movies:



(from Umrao Jaan. The movie itself was deadly dull, but the stills are awesome).

( More pics here )

If you want to check out the couple, separately or together, I recommend (for together):

Guru:, a quasi-arthous fictional biopic of an ambitious businessman's climb to the top (Aishwarya plays his wife) and Kuch Na Kaho, a hilariously cooky and adorable romcom where Abhi plays a man visiting India who falls for *gasp* single mother Aishwarya. If you want to see their best films, I recommend Yuva for Abhishek (it's a movie about corruption and srudent activism, and he gives the movie's best performance as the slowly-descending-into-hell small time thug) or Bunty aur Babli, a hilarious romance/comedy/crime-caper (Aishwarya has a cameo). For Aishwarya, it's undoubtedly Devdas (operatically tragic love story) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, about a traditional girl having to decide between two men (one of which is played by *scandal* her ex-real-life-bf Salman Khan).
