One thing that is so endearing about musicals of yore: men in suits can just start tap dancing in the middle of a townsquare, which houses a bunch of Scottish people from the 1700s, and everyone takes this as nothing out of the ordinary.

And then the men in kilts learn from watching this few minutes of dexterity, and they all join in. It's fabulous.

Musicals are MARVELOUS things.

What does it say that I have a relevant icon? :p

LOL, it says you're awesome.

True true... and I always love when the quaint townfolk in musicals always are able to sing the exact same words and rhyme with everyone else around

Musicals are made of win.

I love that you're using both accounts.

Brigadoon!!!!!!

I was talking about how much I love Gene Kelly LITERALLY ten minutes ago. Me and my mom are watching "The Great Escape" and talking about the oldtime film stars we love, and dude, Gene Kelly, top o' the list.

(All the time, in random speak, I'll say something that mimics the "and I cann'a get over her" line from the end of that movie. You know, Cyd Charisse was in "Singing in the Rain," in that tripped out section. Awesome.)

Also, I didn't even see that you'd tagged that you were watching "Brigadoon." I JUST KNEW!

Yeah, I'm really lame. Richard Harris in "Camelot," y/n?

... Y, bb, Y. I love him that movie.

I did know that about Cyd Charisse. When I was little I watched Brigadoon ALL THE DAMN TIME (and mimicked the whole Scottish accent thing and the "cann'a") and then I realized it was her in Singing in the Rain and I was amazed.

I do love Gene Kelly. My favorite has to be "For Me and My Gal" with Judy Garland.

I didn't look at your music tag and I already was like," Dude, she's totally watching 'Brigadoon'." Oh I love Gene Kelly! 'The Pirate was on for the first time in ages the other day.

LOL, the kilts and Scottish thing kind of give it away.

You know, The Pirate is the only movie of his and Judy's that I absolutely can't watch. I'm not wild about the script in the first place, but the way Judy was so strung out just devastates me.
