*sits up* A hundred years. *sits down* Wow.

They came to my tiny high school in the 90s. They picked a classmate of mine named Kaylee and she did really really well, and the Globetrotters were all very sweet to us (all 47 kids in my grade) and encouraged all of us no matter what subjects we liked.

I'm watching the Futurama episode where the Globetrotters play against Professor Farnsworth's atomic super mutants and they are all doing math together, in Madison Cube Garden in the 31st century.

Below is a clip of three different scenes from Singin' in the Rain, starring Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, and Rita Moreno. for those who haven't seen it, Debbie Reynolds plays a young actress named Kathy who dubs the voice of the much more famous movie star Lina Lamont, played by Jean Hagen.

Ironically for a movie about dubbing, one of its stars is being dubbed— but where? and when?

The clip below has three different parts of the movie—one with Kathy singing to dub Lena, one with Kathy speaking to dub Lena, and a confrontation between Lena, Zelda, and Kathy. without looking it up, let's try to figure out where the dub is!

(sorry about the frame and quality change, I pulled these from three different videos)

And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.
