Happy August!
Okay so I know I've been totally crap at participating in any of the recent blogosphere...things (sorry Kapoor Khazana, turns out the Kapoors < the Deols in my book; sorry Shameful Pleasures Week, turns out I'm just not really that shamed about any of my viewing choices) (also, I HAVE amazingly actually posted in the last couple of days if you wanna click back)...but I am super excited about Dustdevil Liz's Nag Panchami Film Fesssssstival! If you've never seen the distinctive, addictive, hypnotic glory of a snake movie, then YOU ARE DEFINITELY MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING WONDERFUL. The news is good: in the next couple of weeks you can visit the links Liz will be collecting here and enjoy all manner of snake film related wonder and delight!
Seriously. I cannot emphasise this enough. SNAKE FILMS ARE THE SHIZZ, YOU GUYS.
Here's all the snake action I have previously had the good fortune to encounter on the blog:
Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi: aging Big B pretends to be in his 20s, encounters a whole mini sub-plot with the Lord of the Snakes helping him out of tricky situations
Aayirathil Oruvan: my Southie boyfraaand #1 Karthi has to face a bunch of challenges on the way to find a hidden ancient civilization. One of the challenges: a village overrun with seemingly evil enchanted SNAKES.
Nagina: Sridevi as a snake-woman, enchanting Rishi Kapoor in THE supernatural snake drama. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS ONE.
Nigahen: Inferior sequel to Nagina, saved only by the studliness of Sunny Deol as THE SNAKE BOY. Warning: Anupam Kher is REALLY annoying.
Prem Shakti: This was actually the first nagin film I ever saw, and so retains a special place in my heart. IT IS CRACKTASTIC. Also: CHICHI! Also: Chichi's snake dance will always be my favourite, above and beyond Sridevi. FOREVER.
Naag Panchami: Shashikala plays the crazyass queen of Naglok, the realm of the snakes, hell bent on wreaking vengeance on poor Prithviraj Kapoor because he refuses to worship her. This is one of the best, most entertaining films I have EVER SEEN.
I only have one snake film left on my shelf unwatched and unwritten up, but it's THE snake film: Nagin. I saved it especially for the Fessssssstival!
Because I know that probably won't be enough snaky goodness to satisfy my cravingssss, I'm thinking maybe I can justify ordering like, a billion Jeetendra films (OH MY NOT EVEN SECRET LOVE FOR JEETU) in the name of Nag Panchami? Yes/yes? This awesome post suggests I am on the right track.

Sooooo with you on Jeetendra, despite Temple's attempts to shame me. Hope you love Nagin - I sure did!
