**sunfish** , _Bollywood, Hollywood_ was filmed in Toronto. There’s a strong South Asian community here. It was neat to recognise many of the locations. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Indian cinema, so I probably missed most of the humour and in-jokes. I _did_ see it at the theatre in the mall, alongside a mostly-South Asian audience, so seeing how they reacted was actually quite helpful.  
Can you point me to some beginner’s info? 🙂

**Sunspace,** [this relatively recent thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194430&highlight=bollywood) in CS hit some of the highlights of Bollywood cinema if you’d like ideas about what other movies to rent. But definitely take a look at the newcomer’s guide at [http://www.bollywhat.com/](http://www.bollywhat.com/) - very helpful in figuring out some of the things you’ll see! The more you watch the more you be sucked in, um, the more you’ll pick up naturally. 😉 As something of a neophyte myself I have lots to learn yet, but I’m enjoying the journey - hope you’ll find it fun too.

You go to SJSU also? Wow, I bet we’ve crossed paths before. In a literal sense, that is, since we have different majors.

I’m the guy who plays the piano in the Student Union…badly ☹

I’m planning on going to Germany sometime early next year. I’m currently in Portuagal and will then go through Spain, France, Italy and then up to Scandanavia via Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

So, you have until about March to buy a nice large house with a back yard, heated indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi for me to set up shop in 😃

One more thing, when is the beer festival?

Guys, here we have three young women in their prime and no one is flirting with them? Well then I guess it’s all up to me then.

So \*\*presidebt \*\* How you doing? Hope all is well in your little corner of the world.

And **Lsura** how about you, you well? So tell me where you plan on heading in nine months?

**Scribble** How was the rest of that food? I hope it tasted ok the next day.

Really, don’t ask. They’re gross (though it was a fairly tongue-in-cheek list of dislikes).

Bah! I scoff at your MechE! You have free time, you probably use it to sleep or something. That is just like the wastrels in the MechE department here.

I don’t think my last boyfriend really understood when I explained that I was in school or working all of the time. And yet, he knew I was a very literal person.
