Watching Singing In The Rain. Sigh.

Gene Kelly. My father thought he was a god. Ahhh; the "good old days"...

"White Christmas." It's just such fun to watch Kelly, O'Connor, and Reynolds--they look like they really had a good time making that movie.

What's the song where they're talking with the elocution expert--"Moses Supposes"--that's my absolute favorite, and "Make "Em Laugh"--Donald O'Connor is incredible. And Jean Hagen--god, she's absolutely hysterical.

It's just a perfect movie--I can't find one thing bad about it.

And Gene Kelly was a god . . . . O8)

Gene Kelly looks great in a pair of tights! }(

..as I said; my dad thought he was a god...

One of my all-time favorites.

<--- :loveya:


He was my first true love, capturing my heart when I was about ten. =sigh=

I can't believe people said that for a while...

That MJ was even good enough to carry ol' Gene's dancin' slippers...

Classic Gene....

The three Muskateers....

No musical but oh the movement... The stunts...

Real men can dance... That's what my dad use to tell me growin' up...

BTW, first DVD I bought....

Didn't Gene and MJ actually meet up at one point during that whole episode? With the"final" smarmy made-for-TV consensus being, "they're each good in their own way, king of their own generation, so we really can't compare"? Shut. Up. I remember Gene being very gracious toward MJ's dancing ability. But honestly, the only comparison ever with respect to raw talent might be Fred Astaire. And their styles are so different, it really is comparing apples and oranges... so again, no genuine comparison. IMHO.

I just got my first DVD player (in my laptop) and have yet to buy a DVD. But I am certain that "Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer" will have the distinction and honor of being one of, if not the first.

Maybe Reverend Cheesehead will get me that for Cheesemas. I said to surprise me...

These kids that dance today develop a few signature steps and then mold the music around their rudimentary talent....

Heeyyy, wait a second... did you tip off Rev. C. about my secret Cheesemas wishes? Huh? Was it you?

Hm. I'll bet it was you. Cuz you'd do something like that. You're just that type, aren't you?

Well, if it was you...





THANK YOU!

I got him!!

I got him!!

I got him!!


Woo hooo!

:woohoo:

:thumbsup:

Its very trippy under that influence.

...rolling?

HUGE GRIN.
SHhhhhhhhhh.

Both were magnificent. :-)

I adore "Singin'in the Rain". A cliche, but they really don't make musicals like that anymore..."Chicago" included. "Singin' in the Rain" is a masterpiece.

But another distinction in my mind is that Astaire's dancing all sort of blends together, whereas Kelly has many unique and memorable dance sequences.

But then again I'm Irish so thats fine by me.
