"Whatever it is, I'm against it."

"A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody"

from

The Great Ziegfield

(1936)

Dennis Morgan is the actor, the

vocal is dubbed in by Alan Jones.

May well be the most extraordinary

musical set pieces in the history

of Hollywood.

This is the final 3:27 of the piece.

The single shot is over 8 minutes

long but Blogger can't fit it in.

Simply glorious. I have no

idea how they pulled this off.

The "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" set

alone was reported to have cost

US $220,000 (US$5,104,317) in

2025 dollars, featuring a towering rotating

volute of 70 ft diameter

with 175 spiral steps, weighing 100 tons.

As many as 180 performers were involved

in the scenes which included singers,

dancers and musicians.
The curtains, made of rayon silk, measured

4,300 yards. Sheldon Hall and

Stephen Neale

note the theatrical sense that the

cinematographers achieved through

shooting the sequence in virtually a

single take. They mention that "the

camera traverses an enormous platform

set contained within a curtained proscenium

(also enormous)", and that the "set itself

revolves to meet the camera, rather than

the camera entering the space

of the set."

TCM has acclaimed the

"A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" sequence

as one of "the most famous musical numbers

ever filmed".
The film was a major commercial and

critical success and one of the most successful

films of the 1930s, grossing

US $4,673,000

(US $108,420,324 in 2025 dollars)

worldwide at the box office.
"The Great Ziegfeld" won three

Academy Awards, including Best Picture

for producer Hunt Stromberg, Best Actress

for Luise Rainer, and Best Dance Direction

for Seymour Felix, and was nominated

for four others.

"Moonlight Feels Right"

Starbuck

(1976)

Professor of Rock

"Moonlight Feels Right"

"I don't think many of us realize
what a dangerous state we are in,
that man is now becoming more and
more helpless, man is becoming a
danger to man through machines.
These are facts, not the speaker's
invention. This machine, the computer
is going to change the structure
of society."
(1981)

Krishnamurti's Wisest Insight

Kennedy was so embarrassed by

this ridiculous post, he had

to remove it.

And this guy actually wrote a

children's book about

Francis of Assisi.

What a horrid excuse for

a human being.

He's been a complete failure

in reigning in the corrupt

stranglehold Big Pharma has

over this country.

I regret I ever supported him.

Let's travel back in time

64 years . . . .

At this point, even the people around

Trump, the nincompoop, are embarrassed

Demons dwell among us,
and they live next door to you.

Norman Finkelstein
"You can prove it's false because
at the end of the day, it
doesn't hold together."

"What we are criticizing is the claim
that a theory is true. What we attempt
to show as critics of a theory is, clearly,
that this claim is unfounded: that
it is false." Karl Popper

Listen to this

"The computer is becoming your brain."

Madras

Krishnamurti saw this on the horizon

over a decade before David Icke

published his first book in 1994.

It's a combination of three things

working in tandem . . .

genetic engineering

and computer technology

David Icke speaks about

aspects of this . . .

Kudos to Icke for keeping

this insidious business on

the front burner.

"Your brains are going to be altered."

one month before his death)

In 1981, K saw it coming . . . 45 years ago

"The computer may change the

whole structure of society. . ."

(1981)

Here's the latest

dystopian nightmare trotting

your way . . . probably to

have sex with your wife.

She'll be texting her girlfriends, telling

them about the wonders of science.

Meet the Chinese Humanoid Robot

When it realizes it's running

out of juice, it trots over to

the recharging station and

replaces its own battery pack.

When I was a kid all we had was

Mr. Machine. He had a bolt

for a nose and you wound

him up with a key.

Alastair is the only critic who has pointed
out the Messianic lunacy that lies at
the root of all the madness we're seeing
in both Gaza and Lebanon. It's been
religion from day one. Remember,
there are also 30 million Evangelical
Christian Zionists in the U.S. who are
pickled in this "end-time" quackery.
They are running the foreign policy of
the United States.
Well said, Alastair.

Ken trying to retrieve a quote
from the
AI computer interface that
stores Krishnamurti's collected
works.

K was with the Beatles before
Paul McCartney. Most people
don't know this.

In his younger days,
K once starred in a movie
with
Ingrid Bergman.

K once was a guest on an
episode of
The Rockford Files

Hey!
That's me in 1951;
just out of the oven. . .
saying to myself. . .

"I wonder how I'll get
to Ojai in 27 years to hear
Krishnamurti? Oh, well.
I'll just sleep on it."

That's a hurdle you'll
never jump, bub
