  1. It's time to return to that place where nobody dared to go and that love we came to know… A place called Xanadu. Yes, it's time for Film Seizure to revisit another movie from the early days of our little show. This time with 100% more Chuck… and 0% less love for this kooky musical from Geoff!

  2. On March 27th, 1952: "Singin' in the Rain," a musical comedy film directed by #GeneKelly and Stanley Donen and starring Gene Kelly and #DebbieReynolds, premieres at Radio City Music Hall in NYC.

  3. Desperately needed a break from reality & WHAT A WAY TO GO! hit the spot.

    As one Letterboxd review put it, the premise is basically “What if CITIZEN KANE was about a smoking hot babe?”

    Shirley MacLaine is a goddess, and more than holds her own during a torrid dance number with Gene Kelly.

  5. "All Over the World" is a song by the #ElectricLightOrchestra (ELO). It is featured in the 1980 #featureFilm #Xanadu in a sequence with the film's stars #OliviaNewtonJohn, #GeneKelly, and #MichaelBeck. The song also appears on the #soundtrack album Xanadu, and was performed in the 2007 #Broadway musical Xanadu. Released after the single "Xanadu" (a collaboration with Olivia Newton-John), this was the third Top 20 ELO single released from the 1980 soundtrack.

  6. While most of the cast of “Marjorie Morningstar” (1958) was at least of Jewish ancestry, the two lead stars Natalie Wood and Gene Kelly were not. Kelly was also 26yrs older than Natalie Wood (more than twice her age!)

  14. LA REINE DE BROADWAY - Charles Vidor (1944) ★★⭑
    ---
    N’étant pas grand fan des comédies musicales de manière générale à part quelques rares exceptions, celle-ci ne m’enthousiasme pas plus que ça, mais le plaisir de voir le si classe Gene Kelly à la souplesse unique, en compagnie d’une Rita Hayworth qui a la pêche, suffit à rehausser le niveau.

    Argumento y comentario:

    «Cantando bajo la lluvia» es una película musical ambientada en Hollywood durante la transición del cine mudo al sonoro. La historia sigue a Don Lockwood, una estrella del cine mudo que debe adaptarse a la nueva era del cine hablado junto a su co-estrella Lina Lamont, cuya voz chillona amenaza su carrera. Don se enamora de Kathy Selden, una joven y talentosa actriz, lo que complica aún más la situación.

    Esta película es considerada una de las mejores comedias musicales de todos los tiempos. Destaca por sus elaboradas coreografías, especialmente la icónica escena de Gene Kelly bailando y cantando bajo la lluvia. La química entre los actores principales, las canciones pegadizas y el humor inteligente hacen de esta película una experiencia inolvidable.

    «Cantando bajo la lluvia» no solo entretiene, sino que también ofrece una mirada satírica y afectuosa a la industria del cine de la época. La película ha resistido el paso del tiempo, manteniendo su frescura y encanto más de 70 años después de su estreno. Su influencia en el género musical y en la cultura popular es innegable, consolidándola como una obra maestra del cine123.

    #FrankSinatra was known to have a small circle of true friends. Having Frank on your team was the equivalent of an army, things got done.
    Here's Frank hanging out with some of his 'inner circle'.

  18. Singin’ in the Rain review, a classic from 1952

    Singin' in the Rain is a pure nostalgia trip for anyone who loves the singing and dancing musicals of the past. That would include me.

    ( Beak at their most krautrock #Can style. The video reminds you of #Pharcyde "Drop", #MichelGondrie films/videos, #Unkle & #ThomYorke "Rabbit in the Headlights" and #GeneKelly "Dancin' in the Rain" (or maybe the poor guy is stuck in a reverse timeloop) )

    Siempre me encantó este baile de Kelly con su propio reflejo, pero no la música, así que he editado el vídeo con Wanna be startin' somethin'. ¡Feliz finde!

    I’ve always loved this scene with Gene Kelly dancing with his own reflection, but not the music, so I’ve edited the video with Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’. Enjoy your weekend!

  26. I'm following BABYLON (2022), on Paramount+, up with the movie it sort of remakes, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952). (If I can finish it before my HBO Max subscription is over.)

    Debbie Reynolds is dreamy.

    Gene Kelly is great at the singing and dancing, but he's got nothing on Brad Pitt's charisma.

  28. Xanadu is a very strange film! Just got into a Don Bluth animated sequence. And the music is very varied. But overall enjoying! Though I really must stop thinking Brigadoon when I see Gene Kelly.
