Damn screen resolutions! Look, just click on the photo to see it As It Should Be Seen. Argh. My art! My aaaaart!
After a protracted dry period, in which the PPCC did not write, the PPCC has now flooded its webspace with joyous, joyous reviews and fun. Readership, you will be pleased. However, the PPCC is only briefly back, as various Committee members must accompany the Dictator on a forage into the wild, where the PPCC's zen calm will be cultivated, and gifts will be exchanged according to the Western fashion. For this reason, there will be silence until 2008. To ease the readership into this drought period, the PPCC has provided the above Andy Warholized image of Shashi Kapoor for aesthetic consolation. It will also now provide a list of Things To Do While We're Gone.
While the PPCC is Gone On Vacation
(Assuming you are not also on vacation)
- Vote in the poll. The dancing styles of Naseeruddin Shah versus Om Puri. You decide who faces the Big B in the quarterfinals.
- Read one of our many new reviews.
- Chor Sipahee (Cop-Thief). Wherein religious pluralism is coupled with criminology. Is Shashi Kapoor's character Christ-like or not? Discuss.
- Chori Mera Kaam (Stealing is My Job). Similar to the above, except without the religious pluralism and without the sadness. A comedy. Why are none of these songs available on YouTube yet? Discuss (or remedy!).
- Koyla (Ember). Wherein the Fabio-romance-novel-cover monster is unleashed upon the world and SRK loses his gullet. Is the gross gullet scene OK for youngsters to see? The PPCC thinks not. Discuss.
- Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Something Happens). A classic? Not much to Discuss.
- Main Hoon Na (I'm Here, Aren't I?). Why did Naseer agree to do this movie? Discuss.
- Chor Sipahee (Cop-Thief). Wherein religious pluralism is coupled with criminology. Is Shashi Kapoor's character Christ-like or not? Discuss.
- Discuss any of the conversation topics. Or discuss any of the posts.
- Or do not discuss.
- Enjoy some of the BBC Reith Lectures, available online.
- Construct a stereo using only a tennis ball, an old radio, and some cunning.
- Begin reading through Mirza Ghalib's ghazals.
- Wait.
- Entrain your brain and then tell the PPCC what happened.
Happy holidays, readership! We will return in 2008 with much, much text and aesthetics.

Five new reviews and a dance-off! It's just like Christmas.
Also, bearded!Shashi has never looked hotter than in your Warholized pictures there. Will have to make sure whatever film that's from finds its way in my Christmas stocking.
I'm with Nina! I officially do not like beards except on SRK in Chak De India but it seems to work for Shashi here. Who knew?
Nina: ooh the bearded Shashi is from Chor Sipahee, and those pictures are from the amaaazing first item number. Ugh, it's divine.
Beth: the PPCC is actually composed of a bunch of beard fetishists, so we're always happy to see some manly face hair on our attractive menfolk. That said, you can sometimes see the glue in Shashi's beard in CS - this, however, does not detract from his hotness.
Fixed the picture, the 3rd panel wasn't showing up and aarggh, the PPCC Art Minister just cannot STAND when her art is tampered with my exogenous forces!
