It was reported that Frank Sinatra required eight weeks to learn the dance routine for this number. In filming it, 72 takes were needed to get the right footage, although this was more likely due to Gene Kelly’s eye for perfection rather than Sinatra’s inexperience as a dancer.

Frank Sinatra could sing, dance, write…and he could act. This man won the #Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity. That’s right, Ol’ Blue Eyes could hold the screen as well as he could hold the mic. This is an excellent film if you’ve never seen it.

Last night’s ANTIFA attack at UC Berkeley was planned weeks in advance, yet no preventative measures were taken to stop it. This planned ANTIFA action was originally reported by Jonathan Choe who urged federal officials to look into this more than 2 weeks ago. Flyers for this event were being spread around Berkeley for weeks leading up to last night’s attack. Many asking who is responsible for the violence that took place last night that easily could have been prevented.

The trauma of divorcing his young wife, Mia Farrow hit Frank Sinatra hard early in 1968 when he was filming 'Lady in Cement' (1968) in Florida during the day and performing at the Fontainebleau at night.(...) Refusing to do more than one take and ripping out handfuls of the script to save time, Sinatra treated the director, Gordon Douglas, like a lackey who was on the film simply to accommodate him. At Frank’s insistence Douglas scheduled his scenes so that he never had to come to work before noon; the sets were pre-lit, and his double plotted every move so that by the time Frank arrived, he could complete action on one set and proceed to the next without delay. The film was finished within six weeks and the post-production details fell to Michael Viner, the twenty-one-year-old assistant to the producer. Michael Viner said, “At the end of the film there were a couple of problems involving Sinatra. One night he was so mad at the scriptwriter, he ripped a fire ax out of its casing and chopped down the door to his room, which cost us a few hundred dollars. Then there was a pr0st!tute who complained that Frank and his pals had not treated her quite right. She said that after an all-night party, Frank had invited her to stay for breakfast and called for an order of ham and eggs, which he then ate off her chest with a knife and fork. She threatened to sue Twentieth Century Fox because of that incident, but we settled before it got to court.” ("His Way - The Unauthorised Biography of Frank Sinatra", Kitty Kelley, 1986)

Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful. It is a debasement of our constitution. It is unprecedented. Every Republican member ought be asked why they endorsed this abdication of congress's power for the last eight weeks.

When "Silent Night, Deadly Night" (1984) was released in the USA, angered parents who were not happy to see Santa Claus depicted as an ax murderer, picketed theaters where the movie was screened and asked oncoming patrons to sign petitions to have the film removed from theaters. A group was formed to protest the film and lobby for it to be removed from theaters was called "Citizens Against Movie Madness". Two weeks later, the film was withdrawn. Even though executives at the studio stayed away from the media when the controversy erupted, writer Michael Hickey said he accepted any request for an interview he got, including Entertainment Tonight. He thought the controversy was absolutely hilarious and a lot of fun. He said, "I was in no way chagrined by the controversy, I thought it was great! This is a film that could have sunk like a stone and never been heard from again, and suddenly it was leading the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. I didn't know how to take that!" (Source: IMDb)

Don Rickles walked onto Johnny Carson’s show and immediately turned Frank Sinatra into the punchline. 😂 What makes this moment so good isn't just the insults. Rickles spends the entire appearance roasting Sinatra with ridiculous mob jokes, then suddenly drops the act and tells him how much he genuinely loves and respects him. And Sinatra gets his revenge with a story of his own. Rickles once asked Sinatra to walk over to his table because a woman didn't believe he knew him. Sinatra politely said hello, only for Rickles to pretend he was annoyed and snap: ( Can’t you see I’m eating, Frank ? ). That exchange says a lot about old school comedy. The insults were brutal, but underneath them was genuine friendship and respect. Do you think comedians today could roast a superstar this hard on live TV without people taking it personally?

CYD CHARISSE and GENE KELLY Dance Sequence | SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952). Cyd Charisse as the woman in the green sequined dress and hair in the style of Louise Brooks as well as in a white dress and long wind-blown train, who vamps Gene Kelly in the “Broadway Melody” dance sequence in Singin' in the Rain (1952). Cyd was a technically skilled dancer in Hollywood’s golden age of movie musicals. Famous for her long legs, graceful style, and dramatic presence, she became a major star at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) during the 1940s and 1950s. In this clip from Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain (1952), her “Broadway Melody” sequence, where she appeared as a sultry flapper, made her an overnight star. Interestingly, Cyd Charisse had no speaking lines in the film — her entire role was expressed through dance. Gene Kelly choreographed his dance scenes with Cyd Charisse to hide the fact that she was taller than he was. To keep the height difference from being obvious, Kelly staged the routine so that the two were rarely upright when standing next to each other, always bending toward or away from one another instead.

Ronald Reagan once roasted Frank Sinatra by pretending to endorse him for President of the United States: Reagan opens by acknowledging that Sinatra had been a loyal political ally: "This is Frank Sinatra's night and I'm here out of gratitude. Frank worked for me in all my campaigns. He was with me all the way to the governor's mansion. Without his help, who knows? I might have been president." He then jokes about the rivalry he had lost to be there that night: "When this program was being planned, the producer hadn't decided what political figures would participate. It was a choice between me and Governor Brown, and I lost again." From there, Reagan pivots into the central bit, mock-arguing that Sinatra would make an excellent Commander-in-Chief. On cabinet appointments: "He has many friends, and I'm sure he'd appoint only the most qualified to his cabinet. Who better than Sammy Davis Jr. as Secretary of Health, Education, and Jewelry?" On scandal management: "Of course, in politics, there's always gossip and ugly rumors. I'm happy to expose one for the falsehood that it is. He has not granted a Pizza Hut franchise at Camp David. It'll be in the White House where it belongs." On national defense: "Frank Sinatra will make a president who is strong on defense, but again will have concern for humanity. Scientists at his urging have developed an intercontinental ballistics missile that is not a weapon of mass destruction. It only hits photographers." On fiscal policy: "I asked him what he thought of the energy bill. He didn't hesitate a second. He said, 'Pay it.'" On working with Congress: "He won't have any trouble with Congress. They'll pass all the legislation he sends over just to get his autograph." And on foreign policy: "He'll settle that canal business, too. Panama wants a canal, he'll give them Venice." Reagan closes with the punchline that lands the whole bit. Sinatra wouldn't take the job anyway: "As you probably gathered by now, I think Frank Sinatra would make a fine president. But I don't know whether we can get him to run. Is it worth it? If you have to give up being a king?" The genius of the roast is its structure. Every "endorsement" doubles as an affectionate jab, and the final line elevates Sinatra above the presidency itself, delivering the ultimate compliment disguised as a joke.

This woman’s daughter had covid, appeared to recover, then 2 weeks later had trouble breathing & was told at the hospital that she’d been infected with covid “again.” Is it possible that she was reinfected only two weeks after the first infection, or was this more likely rebound?

This is concept footage for MH4. When this was revealed back in the day, some people were ready to jump ship due to how different it looked from past MH games (1st - 3rd Gen) and the fact that it was on 3DS. I even remember this video having more dislikes than likes as well.

🚨 Trump: War could last “4 to 5 weeks” — or longer President Trump said the U.S. campaign against Iran is “substantially ahead” of schedule but signaled it could continue well beyond initial projections. “We projected 4 to 5 weeks,” Trump said. “But we have capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it. Whatever it takes.” He also claimed the goal of “terminat[ing] a military leadership” — originally projected to take four weeks — “was done in about an hour,” calling the operation ahead of schedule “by a lot.” “I don’t get bored. There’s nothing boring about this… I never get bored,” he added.

Gene Kelly screened "The Red Shoes" (1948) at least fifteen to twenty times to different executives at MGM to persuade them to accept the script for Vincent Minnelli's "An American in Paris" (1951). He was told by the executives that the success of "The Red Shoes" was mainly due to the lead actress being foreign & if it were an American actress in that part, the movie would have bombed. Here is Michael Powell talking about it: "The American distributors put our films on their shelves, saying they were too British: a calculated insult, difficult to refute, because they were British. That was the point of a picture like 'The Red Shoes' (1948). It could never have been made in Hollywood in 1947. Hollywood had made films about art and life and love, but I can't remember a single one, and I have total recall. Gene Kelly told me that he ran 'The Red Shoes' fifteen to twenty times for different executives at MGM before he got acceptance of his script for Vincente Minnelli's 'American in Paris', and then it was mainly because he had a foreign ballerina for the part- Leslie Caron. He was told that the success of 'The Red Shoes' was due to the girl being foreign. An American girl in the same part would have bombed. He didn't argue, but took the money and Leslie Caron and ran. The film was a huge success. I never saw it, but Gene told me that it was full of quotes from 'The Red Shoes'. Art! But it had Gene Kelly." ("A Life in Movies", Michael Powell, 1986) P.S: On this day, 78 years ago, "The Red Shoes" (1948) premiered in London, UK.
