DME, @theathleticnba Executive editor of "The Basketball 100." Can type "Antetokounmpo" without looking at the keyboard. Fan of hoops, TCM and Wisc. stuff. Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22. Rank sentimentalist.

Few insults are as mean as those from 1920s silent movies ;)

I don’t know if it was Kelly or Donen who decided to have the camera follow and β€œdance” with Kelly, but it’s brilliant. We’re dancing, too. #TCMParty

You go from Good Morning to Kelly jumping onto a lamp post and singin’ in the rain. Chills still. #TCMParty

Another reason SITR works is the supporting performances of O’Connor and Hagen, two of the best in history. #TCMParty

Moses Supposes would be a GOAT dance scene in most novies, but here it begins a murders’ row of ridiculous numbers: Moses, Good Morning, title number, Broadway Melody. #TCMParty

One of the great things about Singin’ in the Rain is it knows that movies are phony artifice and, in turn, we know that, but that artifice can make art that and artist who bring out emotions in the audience. #TCMParty

There are some bright spots throughout, but Kelly’s character is really bitter at times.

Every suit in Singin’ in the Rain is perfect, right @dieworkwear.bsky.social ? #TCMParty

I know, at the time, that this was the lesser movie next to An American in Paris, but SITR is far more joyful, and I think, better directed. #TCMParty

Always read DA! Also, "Roundball Rock" is a total earworm. Haven't been able to stop humming/b-b-b-b-basketballing it for a couple of days now.
