  2. Aw, that's too bad.

    "Singin' in the Rain" is one of my favorite movies. That weird "fake movie" sequence is not one of my favorite parts, though!

    beckeye: Honestly, I get a little impatient watching musicals, but I do recognize awesome talent when I see it & she certainly possessed it.
