A pretty uneventful day. So, in honour of rainy-season Vancouver, heeeere's Gene!
Gene Kelly, that is. H and i got Singin' In the Rain a while ago. H thinks it's legit, but i think it's bootlegged.
Anyhow, i was pretty disappointed in it. Sure there's some crazy tap dancing and some comical routines. But, "the greatest movie musical"? Uh we think not. Ever heard of The Sound of Music? Grease? Cabaret?
Well, for 1952, the visual effects are really impressive, and the colours are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory super-saturated.
But the characters are 2D, the acting is mediocre, the songs are hit and miss, and the final plot twist bordered on pathetic.
Anyhow. You could pbly better spend your time watching Naked Lunch or something.
