I turned on the tv yesterday to find a movie starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in which they played baseball players (Take Me Out to the Ball Game, I later found out). Turns out I had stumbled upon a Gene Kelly marathon on TCM. I watched a good many hours of this. And now I want to dance! Why I didn’t take dance lessons when I was growing up is beyond me. If I were to relive my childhood, I’d definitely take dance classes. Anyway, I love Gene Kelly. He’s awesome. The evening culminated in a biography of him, and it was fascinating. It talked mostly about his work, but I learned a lot about his style.
I also need to recommend S.W.A.T. The movie is one of those light, entertaining movies that come out in the summer. And Colin Farrell is hot in it. So, so hot in it. Mrowr.
This weekend was the anniversary of Elvis’s death, so naturally AMC was playing a large number of Elvis movies yesterday. I resisted the temptation to watch them, though. Mostly because I was sucked into the Gene Kelly marathon.
Current song in my head:
“A Little Less Conversation” by Elvis Presley
