“Arlene Croce, author of a definitive volume on Astaire and Rogers, says of “I’ll Be Hard to Handle”: “This is the big event of the film, the number in which ‘Fred and Ginger’ became fixed screen deities.” It certainly gets your attention. They start with a rhythmic shuffle, then after eight bars he gently takes her by the waist and together they spin around and around, settling at last into one of the most brilliant and inventive tap duets ever filmed. Halfway through the number, they separate and have a tap “conversation”, each taking a phrase, then each responding with a salvo of taps. The band strikes up a bugle call, and Rogers snaps to military attention, only to be distracted by Astaire’s invitation to resume their buoyant pas de deux. They continue the breathtaking duet as the music rises to a new wave of excitement; then, just as our hearts are ready to burst with exhilaration, they whirl one last time and collapse into two chairs.” [x]

“Would I get yelled at if I said that it was kinda nice having H.G. back?”
#no one will ever get yelled at for saying it’s nice having HG back. #HG is your science bro #and she makes Myka happy #so you go on saying that Claudia #you go on remembering that HG is a real person #(even when she’s a hologram and her body is Emily Lake) #and you go on remembering that being a person should mean having a say in your own fate #and Helena needed a daughter #and you needed a mother #and you’re both beyond the point where the biological matters #and if you keep staring wistfully at that photo maybe she’ll be what you need and what she needs? #brb crying (via typeytypeytypey)
