In case you don't believe the excellence of Aruna Irani's gypsy girl in Caravan, here she is in her introductory number - hip checking Jeetendra's head and dancing with a chorus of similarly sassy gypsy girls.

In other news, my bed rest yesterday has improved my mental state about 100% and I'm fit to return to work, so I sadly will not be able to spam you with posts about the excellence of Okada Junichi and/or Park Shi-Hoo.

Here are the media on my docket for the upcoming weekend:

*I'm about 100 pages into a nice re-read of Gaskell's North and South. (Mr. Thornton!!!)

*Episodes 7 & 8 of Iljimae

*Episodes 1 & 2 of Strongest Chil Woo

*Tiger and Dragon (Okada Junichi!!)

* and a backlog of Hindi films - Gehra Daag, Pyaar Kiya Jaa, Sharmilee, and Guide are all sitting patiently on my nightstand waiting to be viewed.
