In Rememberance...

...of Miss Ginger Rogers, who left us nineteen years ago this day...
Always a rough day on the Gingerologist's calendar, but as always, this time should really be spent viewing your fave GingerFilm (or two), listening to some GingerTunes, and in general just remembering the lady and her legacy, and what it means to all of us...
...and I also take this time to SINCERELY thank all of you for following Gingerology...I wonder what Ginger would think about the blog, and all our voraciousness for GingerInfo over on FaceBook... I kinda like to think she would jump in there with us every once in awhile and set us straight about dates and times, and fill us in on details... wouldn't that be COOL?

Hope to have some things posted in the near future, and the Stage Door post is nearing as well...

Until then,

KIG...

Happy Easter!!!

...hope everyone out there who observes the Easter Season has a safe, reflective, and encouraging Easter Sunday! The only Easter pic I have of Ginger is this one, which y'all have probably seen, but, it's still cool, so...

...and I still want to know where do we sign up for "The Friends of Ginger Rogers Society"? Well, I'm thinking FaceBook has supplanted that void nicely... BUT, if this was a magazine of some type, I'd LOVE to get my hands on one (or ALL) of them...

Well, as you all know, April is not my fave month... it's been somewhat 'uneventful' this year, however, so if we can crank out another week and a half, we're in the clear... but with that, I have been rather busy as of late, thus the posting deficiency. Hopefully things will get a bit more 'stable', and more posting will occur. I have been adding bits and pieces to the GingerFilm blogs, so you may want to chack a few of those out...

...in particular, I posted the 'impromptu GingerFilm watch night' for Broadway Bad on that blog, in it's entirety - it's pretty interesting to look thru, especially if you know the film.

I've also been working on the post for the Kate Hepburn Blogathon for Margaret Perry... still a ways to go, but will have it ready to roll for the event... stay tuned.

Well, that's about it, y'all... hope everyone is well out there, and until next time...

KIG, y'all!!!

...HAPPY HCG DAY!!!

...well, the big premiere ...or shall we say the 21st Century premiere... of Hat Check Girl is at hand... and hope folks who are fortunate enough to be at the viewing have a great time!!! It would be awesome if ALL Gingerologists could check it out together somehow, but... we'll see it sooner or later...
If there are any of y'all out there who see it tomorrow at the TCM festival in Hollywood, PLEASE feel free to pop in here and post a reply, or heck, even a review... the floor is open! um... some pics of the showing would be cool, as well! :-)
-----------
...as for other Gingery happenings, not aware of anything abroad, but a few things cooking here at G-ology... of course, the Stage Door review for Margaret Perry (see info at right)...it's 'under construction', and will hopefully be a fair synopsis of Ginger and Kate's roles in this classic film.
...and there's still stuff to do with regards to this blog, as well as all the 'Gingerfilm' blogs... lemme go do some of that NOW...

And thus, I bid you all a fine adieu for HCG eve... and as always...

...KIG!!!

...hope all is well!

...with my fellow Gingerologists!

We have had some roughness in the Huey Household the last week or so... a very aggressive stomach virus hit all of us...nuff said. As usual, I was the 'last in line' to get it, and I am somewhat recovered, but still a bit 'groggy'... so... anyway, we're all on the mend...

...as for news regarding GR, well...I guess one of the interesting events coming up here is that I will be contributing to Margaret Perry's 'blogathon' over on her great Kate Hepburn site! It should be pretty cool...I think I will zone in on the Ginger-Kate scenes only, and maybe even their 'overall' relationship, as there's another person reviewing Stage Door 'proper'... info on the blogathon is to the right...just click on Kate...and, if you feel adventurous, sign up for a review there!

I will get back into reviewing Gingerfilms here soon (maybe this Stage Door gig is what I need to get 'jump-started')... no real excuse, so get ready!!! Again, not sure about the 'mega-screen-caps' HueyTreatment at this point, since, let's face it, the films coming up will have MONDO Ginger face time...um, not a BAD thing, duh, but a time-consuming one... which kinda delays the whole process. So, I'll just put out the 'main review', and throw in a few 'small cap sequences' here and there...just to keep the spirit of that alive. And once the reviews are finis, THEN I could go back and create some 'full-blown' 'HueyTreatments'...which i truly LOVE to do, so... again...stay tuned.

Until then, hope to see y'all over on FB!

KIG!

It's OFFICIAL!!! Hat Check Girl is...

...on the docket for the 2014 TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood!!! This link goes to the schedule - see 'Chinese Multiplex 4', at 8:00 P.M. - Saturday, April 12, 2014!!! FINALLY something cool happens in APRIL!!! Click the HCG box on the schedule to get a description...

...that's AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, EARTH-SHATTERING news!!! ...even tho... from Huey's current locale, they may as well be screening it on Neptune... BUT, there are rumors that it may be rolled at the MOMA Festival in NYC as well...which MAY be doable for Hu, but would still be somewhat of a logistics and chronological challenge. Maybe TCM will roll it at a festival in Atlanta or New Orleans or somewhere in the general proximity of South Gingerville...

But, if not, there's a pretty solid likelihood it will make it to DVD in the near future, since Fox put out quite a few GingerFilms in their archives collection a year or so back... and I've been informed that they have merged with TCMshop.com, so... promising, indeed.

Of course, there was a tenacious catalyst behind this eventual grand unveiling...and, she's one of US - Ginger Peachy!!! She has lobbied various parties for quite sometime in order to get this film out in the light of day...encourage the owners to get a restoration of it completed... and to get it rolled at this festival, and hopefully many others! SO, with that, she has assumed the title of GingerologistSupreme, which is... well, generally just means she is infinitely   AWESOME!!! :-)  So, if ya get a chance, stop by her blog, or contact her on FaceBook, to give her a great big bodacious THANKS for her hard work and perseverance in bringing home the only GingerFilm we have yet to see!

Well, hope all is well with everyone out there, and hope to be able to post more info, and ultimately a review or three from this monumental screening of HCG when it takes place... so, if anyone out there DOES get to L.A. for it, PLEASE contact me, and I'll turn the G-ology mike over to ya for your thoughts!!!

That's it!!!

KIG, KIG, KIG!!!!
