Let's Dance
By Erik Lundegaard, MSN Entertainment
A female friend who's given to bouts of cynicism recently dismissed movie musicals as awful, phony things.
"Two people are talking and then all of a sudden they start singing and dancing?" She stuck out her tongue. "It's so unreal."
"As opposed to what?" I answered. "'Die Hard'? 'Spider-Man'? All movies are unreal. That's the point of movies. It just depends what kind of unreality we're willing to accept."
"In fact," I added, "the problem isn't that people in musicals start singing and dancing. The problem is that we don't."
At which point I began to croon to her like Sinatra and dance with her like Astaire. OK, so I made up this last part. But wouldn't it be nice if I hadn't?
