Singing in the Rain | Tim Hopgood, Arthur Freed, Nacio Herb Brown
post image

The social media algorithm delivered this gem (which I missed when it originally aired back in 2009) unto me. It brought me a few minutes of joy, which I‘d love to pass on! 💎

Joseph Gordon-Levitt performs “Make Em Laugh” from Singin‘ in the Rain on SNL. Live! In one take!

I grew up watching this movie with my grandma. Core memories.

dabbe I've never heard that term before, but I absolutely love it and will incorporate it. #corememories 🖤🩶🖤 6d
monalyisha @dabbe That‘s so funny! I just looked up the phrase after seeing your comment and the internet keeps trying to tell me that it comes from the popularity of the movie(s) “Inside Out”… I swear I‘ve been using it forever! One source did say that the term‘s been around since the 1920‘s so maybe “core memories” is also a “core memory.” Could be one of those family colloquialisms? Or, I‘m delusional. 😉😅 6d
nanuska_153 I love Singin' in the rain ❤️ and I've been in love with Joseph Gordon Levitt since I was a kid, so perfect match 6d

dabbe @monalyisha It's the perfect term to describe a memory embedded deep in your soul! INSIDE OUT stole it from you! 😂😍 6d
TieDyeDude I recently watched Flora and Son and Mr. Corman on Apple TV, and realized how much I've been lacking JGL in my life. I also got this video in my algorithm recently, and it is brilliant. I had forgotten about it; supposedly, they didn't get the rights to the song to be able to reair it on reruns 😮‍💨 (edited) 5d
monalyisha @TieDyeDude Mr. Corman looks so good! Upsetting that I didn't know about it and that there's only one season! 5d

Digging into the classic for more about courage. No one checks out Polacco books in my library, but I refuse to weed them. I started reading them to the kids to see if I can make them move. We are all curious about the secret ingredient. I'm not brave enough!

Pros:
The beginning/set up
The location
Pretty cover
Cons:
Pretty much everything else
That ending was a jumbled, hot mess express

Do not recommend. Reese, ya got it wrong.

Stunning illustrations. This story is about the rain and if the sun will ever come back to shine down again. Nice short words throughout for the littles to read and just a beautiful book all around.

TheBookHippie I love this book. 5mo

This is an example of how different my reading tastes are. The first three Goodreads reviews are two stars, but I loved this book. I was immediately drawn in by the story and characters. I loved the lyrical writing and setting and cried several times. I thought the last reveal appeared too fast, but my heart was taken by this book.
