I'm going to just throw something out here and perhaps spur some people to comment and get some discussion going, maybe see what kind of open minds are out there... To get on with it, I want to say that I love old musicals, especially anything by Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hammerstein, or Cole Porter.
My family has a tradition of watching White Christmas and Holiday Inn every year around Christmas time and I don't know if I've really realized how great they truly are. Perhaps it's just the unadulterated singing and dancing, but they have an air about them that you just don't see in movies made these days. Every now and then, a certain film like Moulin Rouge can come close to capturing a similar spirit, but it still just isn't the same.
So I guess this is a sigh to the way things once were, which at times almost makes me wish I was born in a different era while at the same time I am very content with the state of the arts today. And that is all I have to say about that.

Can't wait to watch White Christmas next week. Erin and I went to see the live version at the Orpheum last year... not as good as the movie in many ways, but still amazing. See you Friday?
