Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing “Cheek to Cheek” in Top Hat (1935). For this “Cheek to Cheek” number, Ginger Rogers wanted to wear an elaborate blue dress heavily decked out with ostrich feathers. When director Mark Sandrich and Fred Astaire saw the dress, they knew it would be impractical for the dance. Sandrich suggested that Rogers wear the white gown she had worn performing “Night and Day” in The Gay Divorcee (1934). Rogers walked off the set, finally returning when Sandrich agreed to let her wear the offending blue dress. As there was no time for rehearsals, Ginger Rogers wore the blue feathered dress for the first time during filming, and as Astaire and Sandrich had feared, feathers started coming off the dress. Astaire later claimed it was like “a chicken being attacked by a coyote”. In the final film, some stray feathers can be seen drifting off it. To patch up the rift between them, Astaire presented Rogers with a locket of a gold feather. This was the origin of Rogers' nickname “Feathers”. The shedding feathers episode was recreated to hilarious results in a scene from Easter Parade (1948) in which Fred Astaire danced with a clumsy, comical dancer played by Judy Garland. “Cheek to Cheek” was nominated for the Best Song Academy Award for 1936, which it lost to “Lullaby of Broadway”. The song spent five weeks at #1 on Your Hit Parade and was named the #1 song of 1935. Astaire's 1935 recording with the Leo Reisman Orchestra was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000. In 2004, Astaire's version finished at No. 15 on AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu visited the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in 2000 for the premiere of his film, "Amores Perros" (2000). One day during the festival, Iñárritu and many other directors were invited for a 7 PM screening of Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" (2000). Iñárritu and his wife Maria booked a taxi at 6:15 PM. But the taxis were overbooked. So Iñárritu, wearing a tuxedo & his wife, wearing a long dress with high heels had no other choice but to run to reach the theater on time, while the temperature was 95°F. The traffic was heavy. While running, Iñárritu took off his jacket, tie & the first 3 buttons of his shirt. His wife took off her shoes. Their effort wasn't in vain as they reached the theater at 7:01 PM. They were drenched in sweat. But they both had experience of their lives when they watched the movie. Here is what Iñárritu said of "In the Mood for Love" (2000): "For a filmmaker, the experience of entering that legendary [Palais Des Festivals] with 2,000 seats is similar to that of a Catholic boy going into the Vatican. [From] all the way in the back, we watched “In the Mood for Love” on a screen 40 times bigger than us. Maria and I walked in complete silence for almost 10 minutes [afterward]. We suddenly stopped by the sea. Maria hugged me and started crying inconsolably on my shoulder. And I did the same on hers. “In the Mood for Love” had left us speechless and deeply moved. It was that moment that reminded me why, even when it’s so stupidly difficult sometimes, I wanted to become a filmmaker." ("We Miss You, Cannes: 23 Filmmakers Relive Indelible Moments", Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, The NY Times, 2020) P.S: On this day, 26 years ago, "In the Mood for Love" (2000) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Steve Ballmer is worth $179B for screaming one word at a developer conference in 2000. The clip is 26 years old. A 44-year-old CEO sprints across a stage in Orlando, dress shirt already soaked through, and howls "developers" until his voice tears. The room laughs. The internet has been laughing ever since. Everyone read it as a breakdown. It was a budget line. Windows never won on code. It won because 3rd parties shipped 100,000 apps that only ran on it, and every app made switching cost more. Ballmer wasn't chanting at a crowd. He was chanting at his own executives, who kept calling Microsoft a platform company and then acting like the platform was the product. Then he spent 14 years proving the doubters right. Vista. The Kin, killed 48 days after launch. Nokia's phone business bought for $7.2B in 2013, written down $7.6B two years later. In 2007 he watched the iPhone and said $500 was the most expensive phone in the world, no keyboard, no chance with business customers. He left in 2014 with the stock lower than the day he took the job. Forbes-adjacent lists called him one of the worst CEOs in tech. He bought the Clippers for $2B and stopped talking. He also never sold a share. Microsoft is worth $3.81T. Ballmer still holds roughly 4%. The stock went from $348 to $513 this year alone, which moved him past every founder-adjacent name on the board. Gates is at $114B. He gave nearly $100B away and owns less than 1%. Gates gave his stake away. Ballmer just kept screaming. $65B is the difference.

🧵 George Stephanopoulos EXPOSED – Economic Illiteracy or Willful Deception? George’s interview with The White House Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett shows what happens when a partisan activist pretends to be a journalist. Let’s break it down—with facts, figures, and TRUTH. 1 George’s Claim: “Tariffs are a tax on the American people.” ▶️ FALSE. Let’s look at what really happened when Trump imposed tariffs on China in 2018: 📉 Chinese exports to the U.S. dropped by $87 billion. 📈 U.S. imports from non-tariff countries increased by $100B+. 💥 China took the hit, not American families. Source: USTR, Census Bureau 2 Consumer Prices? George insists tariffs raise prices. Let’s check the numbers: 📊 Consumer Price Index (CPI) during the Trump tariff rollout (2018–2019): Average CPI increase: 1.8% Historical average (2000–2016): 2.2% ✔️ Tariffs didn’t spike inflation. In fact, prices grew slower under Trump than under Bush or Obama. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 3 Wages & Jobs George claims prices rose while workers suffered. Again, the facts say otherwise: 💼 Real median household income: 2016 (Obama’s last year): $60,309 2019 (pre-COVID under Trump): $68,703 🔥 That’s an $8,394 increase in just 3 years—the biggest real income surge in U.S. history. Source: U.S. Census Bureau 4 Manufacturing Resurgence Stephanopoulos tries to mock job growth. Let’s look at auto jobs: 🚘 U.S. auto jobs lost under Obama: 400,000+ 📈 U.S. auto jobs gained under Trump (2017–2019): 38,000+ 🏭 Plants reopened in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana—BECAUSE of tariffs. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 5 Trade Deficit Trump’s critics say tariffs don’t work. But here’s what happened: 📉 Trade deficit with China (goods only): 2018: $419.5B 2019: $345.2B That’s a $74 billion reduction in one year—the largest drop ever recorded. Source: U.S. Census Bureau 6 Why does this matter to YOU? George wants you to believe President Donald J. Trump Trump’s policies hurt working families. But the truth is: ✅ More jobs ✅ Higher real incomes ✅ Lower inflation ✅ A tougher stance on China ✅ And a trade policy that puts YOU before Beijing 7 Meanwhile under Biden: 📈 Inflation soared to 9.1% (2022) 📉 Real wages fell for 24 straight months 📉 401(k)s lost $2.1 TRILLION in value in 2022 📈 Energy prices up 40% And George? Not a peep. Because he’s not a journalist—he’s a propagandist. 8 Let’s not forget: 🧨 George Stephanopoulos was Bill Clinton’s Communications Director. He’s not neutral. He’s not fair. He’s a lifelong Democrat operative trying to dress up as a journalist. 📺 And now, he attacks the one president who stood up for working Americans. 9 President Donald J. Trump Trump’s tariffs weren’t about politics. They were about: 📦 Ending decades of China’s exploitation 👷 Bringing back dignity to U.S. workers 💸 Rebuilding our middle class 🛡️ Protecting America’s industrial base Something George clearly doesn’t understand—or care about. 🔚 Final thought: 📉 George Stephanopoulos is trying to keep YOU misinformed. 📈 President Trump is trying to keep YOU employed and prosperous. Which side are you on?
