Yay! Great answers!

1776: I just saw this for the first time last winter for some reason, and I fell in love with it immediately. So funny! And William Daniels is delightful.

Fanfic: I have almost the same story, but I started watching in earnest last spring (around the time that "House vs. God" aired - that's when I first noticed the H/W yumminess).

Hugh: Same here, except for the Stephen part. I've been a fan of Stephen's since "Peter's Friends" (I never really noticed Hugh in that until after "House". Silly me.) and then "Wilde". I was completely intrigued to find out that the two of them were best friends. Now, like you, I can't get enough of them! (I can't believe I just bought that Jeeves clock!)

GIMP: Oy, that name! Hee. I'm all for free stuff, though! If I'd known it existed before I got PSP, I might be a GIMP person, too.

Yeah, I can see how you'd kind of miss out on Hugh in "Peter's Friends" over Stephen. He was lovely in that movie (as he is always!). And "Wilde"... *swoon*! What a fabulous piece of work.

So for interests, I'd like to know more about hindi films, harlem renaissance, and old movies... how did you get interested in all of them? :)

For icons, tell me more about Toys Rock, Amy, and SV Tasty.

I've always loved old movies. I was pretty much obsessed as a kid, and read a lot about the the old stars. Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Astaire and Rogers are some of my favorites. I think my favorite movies are the old screwball comedies.

I've heard of the Indigo Girls, but I don't know any of their music. I will make an effort to listen to some!

Yay for co-challenge posting duties! I'd love to chat; I have a user name on Windows Messenger, googletalk, and AIM, or if you prefer we can email. I have a few ideas for challenges already, so I'm looking forward to this! :D

You know what? I've never seen an Astaire/Rogers movie (I've seen them separately, but not in any of their famous pairing films)! *hangs head in utter shame* This must be rectified immediately!! Any suggestions for a first choice? I love screwball comedies, too. My favorite is probably Arsenic and Old Lace. Too funny.

Yes, you must listen to some Indigo Girls! It'll change your life! I recommend anything from "Rites of Passage" to start with. They're all amazing, though. :D

I'm bethctg for googletalk, so we can always do it that way, but email is fine too. I work from noon til 8 tomorrow, so I won't be around during that stretch. Anyway, I am so looking forward to entering your challenges! :)

I think my favorite Astaire/Rogers flick is "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle." It's actually a biopic about a famous husband-and-wife dance team from the early 1900s. It was their tenth movie together, and it's really wonderfully touching and Ginger is lovely. Not too much original dances because they were recreating the Castle dance moves, but as an overall movie telling a story, that's the one I'd suggest. As for just sheer, all-out, Astaire/Rogers escapist glitz, "Top Hat" fills the bill ( ... )
