Perfect...

...Strangers! GingerBinge has FINALLY resumed, with a pretty dang cool film which teams our girl up with that swarthy Strafford dude Kitty kept having to shake...
...but each are a bit older and wiser Ten Years After... and, they would Love To Change The World... or at least their world, as they hopelessly fall for each other... but extenuating circumstances may well prevent their desired harmonic convergence... (not sure why I am doling out all these hippie references... just Work With Me, Annie...)

Anyway, mosey on over to the PerfectStrangers blog for the ===POST=== regarding the GingerBinge viewing... and also make sure to check out the 'pages', as there are new screencaps, publicity stills, and even a few GIFs... I'm dangerous with that deal, y'alllllllll...

Hope everyone has a great week and weekend wherever you may be... and stay tuned on FB for the next 'filmpick' for the continuing GingerBinge Summer... which is invariably going to ooze into autumn... GingerAutumn sounds cool anyway, right?

KIG, y'all!!!

...current GingerBinge film...

...is Perfect Strangers!
...plan on watching this 'courtroom drama' with Ginger and her old buddy Wyn...er, Dennis Morgan tomorrow night (Monday evenings are a bit hectic here at Gingerology headquarters, y'all...) But as I recall, this one is a pretty neat film, a typical drama from the early 50s, with the no-nonsense attitude of the Brothers Warner... as you can see from the publicity pic, Ginger is just flippin' radiant as usual... and Morgan, despite being a two-time loser in the Ginger Leading Man category, seems to be one of Ginger's fave leading men...

...Hope everyone had a great weekend, including the Gingertennial+5 festivities! Honestly, we just cleaned up some around the house, which in some weird way I think Ginger would have appreciated...

KIG!

HAPPY GINGERTENNIAL +5, Y'ALL!!!

... Miss Rogers' 105th birthday!!! Celebrate this great day with some Gingery actions!
...late night for Hu and the Crew, but just noting our favorite day of the year with a post... will get the VOTE up for the new Gingerology 'header pic' soon (the one here may well be a candidate... most likely my fave 'non-blonde' GingerPic) ...and of course the GingerBinge Summer Film Festival will continue - look for a new pick tomorrow!

And with that...hope all you Gingerologists out there have a great Gingery weekend!!!

KIG!

...New GingerBinge Summer film for viewing IS...

...Don't Bet on Love!!!
...this one's special for a few reasons, but PRIMARILY because Ginger is teamed up with her soon to be husband (i.e., Gooberhead #2), Lew Ayres...  Ginger wrote in very glowing terms in her bio that Ayres was her dream man... ...sigh... which makes him all the more a GOOBERHEAD! - sorry... anyway, this is one of the dozen or so films Ginger was a part of in 1933, and, while not a great film, it does give us some interaction between Ginger and Lew, which is interesting, and is, as ALL are, honestly, required Gingerologist viewing...
She is VERY glowing in spots of this film, documenting her love for Ayres... he seems to have that same look... but, as for the film proper... it's a neat little tale, if not very predictable.

Well, I'll write up a few things over on the DBOL blog... and will update this post when THAT post is... posted...

UPDATE: HERE it is...

...and a general FYI - it's a bit much to watch a film AND do the blog 'overviews', so... henceforth on the Summer GingerBinge I may well watch one night, and do the 'overview' stuff the next... just sayin'...

Until next time...

KIG, y'all!!!

...back to the GingerBinge, shall we?

...well, had a few 'end of the week' happenings which have 'delayed' the GingerBinge summer... which is a drag, but... let's get back to it, shall we?
...well, the PICK we are currently on is... SWING TIME! ...the poster above is cool, but... that AIN'T Ginger... looks kinda like Misty Rowe who was on Hee-Haw... ask your parents...

ANYWAY, Hu will view what most (including Ginger) consider G&F's best film... I've seen it a gazillion times, but... will look for 'subtleties' to report... sure there are plenty.

UPDATE: HERE is the link to the GingerBinge Summer review for SwingTime...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, and remember... one week away from Gingertennial +5!!!

KIG, y'all!!!

HAPPY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY TO...

...GINGEROLOGY!!!
Well, on this day seven long (or short, depending on where you are standing) years ago, Hu created Gingerology... The Beautiful Science of Miss Ginger Rogers! At first, I was just going to make a 'general blog' in order to communicate with other folks who had Ginger blogs... but soon I figured out that Ginger is the ONLY reason I set UP a blog, so... Gingerology was born.
It's amazing that I've been able to keep things going for so long... not that there's EVER a shortage of Gingery Goodness, mind you, but in a medium which things seem to come and go at a rapid pace (i.e., the internet), it's cool to have this site persist, even with the barrage of awesomeness that is FaceBook.
On this anniversary/birthday/whatever, it may be a good time to 're-vamp' the blog a bit... nothing too drastic, mind you, but... noticeable... not the least of which is the 'header pic' for the blog... I love the current one, but, it's time for a change... SO...here's where Y'ALL come in...

I am choosing three different GingerPics as candidates for the header... and (I think y'all probably know where this is headed...) a popular VOTE will determine the new Gingerology Header Pic!!! I'll post the 'official vote' post with the pictures up for candidacy in a few days (probably this weekend...)
...so, once again, THANKS so much for supporting this blog... it means a lot to me, and to y'all as well, I reckon, in that it's another avenue in which Ginger Rogers' legacy is documented and discussed, hopefully in an entertaining and educational manner... ...and, as evermore...

...Keep It Gingery, y'all!!!

SEVENTH GingerFilm... for the GingerBinge Summer... is... on this 240th Birthday of the U.S.A...

...MAGNIFICENT DOLL!!!
...now, here's the deal... Hu has decided that on this special day, this film would be MOST apropos... thus no 'grab bag' deal, but a straight up 'pick for the day'... I still produced a painstakingly complex video over on FaceBook, so please go check it out...
...I'll post the "post-view-review" over on the MagDoll blog, and UPDATE here, as usual...

 UPDATE: HERE is the post over on the MagnificentDoll blog...

...all I know is that Ginger is mind-numbingly beautiful in this one...

Everybody have a VERY Gingery fourth!!!
KIG!

...the SIXTH GingerBinge film is...

...Suicide Fleet!
...another one of Ginger's first films, and one of the 'original RKO-Pathe Trio'... not a bad film, although Ginger is pretty absent after the first 20 minutes or so... and somewhat apropos for the holiday, as it is a 'war film' of sorts... 

I viewed it pretty late Saturday evening, so... I will post the GingerBlog overview in the morning... and I'll update here to add the link.

UPDATE: ...the link to the 'overview' for the GingerBinge viewing of Suicide Fleet is HERE...

Hope everyone has an incredible Independence Day!!!

KIG!
