lunchtime poll #8: villain lairs
Beth Loves Bollywood — As promised: per Todd 's suggestion in lunchtime poll #7 's responses, it's high time we discussed in finer detail one of the key ingredients in any good masala...the villain lair!

It's even better than the actual villain lair. [image] [image] Note the green toothy thing in the background. Based on decor alone, it's where I picture Teleport City , Todd , House in Rlyeh , and Lurple hanging out, even if they don't deal drugs ...

Beth Loves Bollywood — Much to my delight, Banno , Todd , and Rum have included Beth Loves Bollywood in their list of blogs that believe in proximity.

~Dharam Veer + Ramsay Brothers + a splash of Romeo and Juliet - Ranjeet = Jaani Dushman
Beth Loves Bollywood — ... Not on my bedside table. An interesting charge was hurled at me today: I, non-watcher of scary things, avoider of the werewolf-y parts of cinemas both domestic and foreign, was called "a Jaani Dushman apologist"!
