I LOVE her. LOVE HER!! Ann Miller is/was fabulous in every way possible.

Yeah, staph is no laugh alright, but local people have been dying of it for a while now... in the King County Jail.

Fred Astaire got the rap on being Hollywood's dance perfectionist, but Gene Kelly was right up there with him. Ms. Miller has said that very often at the end of the shooting day her shoes would be filled with blood.

When it comes to addressing climate change, Michael Bloomberg is the real deal. Greg "let's change our light bulbs" Nickels is a pretender.

That is the strangest song I've ever heard.

I forgot to say that I love Korean food and make it all the time. (Thank you, Manna Korean Market in Ann Arbor!) When I visited Seoul I was totally jazzed to have traditional breakfasts. While that's not going away, it's sad to see folks choking down food they don't even like. It makes me want to run to the kimchi jar in my fridge right now!

Forget the tom-toms--check out those legs. I'll take Kelly over Astaire any day--I think he added a lot more freewheeling style to his perfection. And Ann Miller truly was a dancing goddess--check her out in the amazing Kiss Me Kate (which also features a rare dancing performance by choreographer Bob Fosse--it launched his career!)

Oh and by the way - the best, prettiest, most wistful song from "On The Town" - "Some Other Time" - was cut from the movie production because the producers thought it was too depressing.

Check out Tony Bennett's version on the classic Tony Bennett/Bill Evans CD.

Mmm. Kimchi omelet on Ann Miller's lap. Mmm

And there's this. For those who love Dolphins.

I was wondering what was up with all the clips from vintage musicals. Now I understand: The International Gay Agenda.

All this dancing is making me gay.

Thank you for Ann Miller! This should be required viewing for all presidential candidates, and an important topic of any debate, e.g., "Mitt, can you please tell us why you love or don't love Ann Miller (AND BE SPECIFIC)?"

Those are some quality options. But don't forget that the important thing is to support the writers.

solution: execute Nancy Nord & Hal Stratton.

This is the most embarrassing clip from the movie, but despite its problems it still sparkles. Kelly vs. Astaire, do I really have to choose? That one comes down to a single contested ballot in Florida. I'm going to go with Astaire, for the gracefulness, over Kelly's power -- but Kelly made better movies. And Jules Munshin was great, too. They don't make 'em like this anymore. I don't want to live in the 50s, but their movies were 1,000 times better than ours.

Next you should post a clip from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

How about Clint Eastwood in a flowered shirt and wide-wale cords singing "I Talk To the Trees" in "Paint Your Wagon"? I guess you'll want one of the big dance numbers, though. Art forms are always most interesting when they start to collapse.

Ann Margaret - State Fair - 1954.

Now that's dancing!

Seriously, I feel like smoking a great big dong now.

Oh, I didn't know you were a GOP incumbent, Mike in MO.

It's true: most people in Oklahoma are douchebags, but we're not all douchebags. I'm just saying...

Oops--that was a little too emphatic. I only meant to italicize "all."
