I suppose the last thing we all need the day after Yuletide is another fic for a vanishingly rare fandom, but...have one anyway?

She'd flirted with him since they'd met last year, more out of habit than any serious intent. He was kind of funny-looking, after all. Good dancer, though, and more sensible than anyone else in the band, certainly moreso than Roger. "I was starting to think you didn't like girls."

Haha, best lines of the fic, icepixie, an adorable, warm and cute fic, btw.... and sorry but we really NEED it (ok, at least I do) ;)

Hee. Glad you liked it! Those are my favorite lines too.

Yeah, I really enoyed it :D A drunken cute scene that I would have liked to see in any of their movies

I love these lines as well. Very Fun. Fits the movie perfectly too. And I could definitely see the two of them getting drunk in together in this movie. (Especially while bumping heads dancing.) Cute. I really enjoy your 'fics'! Keep 'em coming, please. :)

Heh. Well, they are drunk at the end of it, or at least I assumed they were--this seemed like a logical enough continuation. (Because really, the idea of a Fred and Ginger movie where they stay just friends at the end makes me kind of sad. *g*)

Thanks!

Awww!!! That was adorable! :D

[icepixie]

Thank you! :D

Just watched Flying Down to Rio myself (I blame your vids), and as I am slightly drunk right now myself, I feel qualified to say that this is adorable and perfectly sweet & tipsy. ♥

[icepixie]

Awww, yay! Thank you! :)

(P.S. Have you seen their other movies? If you haven't, they are...much better than Rio. Although Rio is certainly the crackiest.)

Just Swing Time and Top Hat, for shame! Which is why I loaded them all into my Netflix queue last week. I've seen them both in other movies - mostly Fred, but I saw Ginger in Stage Door and Gold Diggers of 1933 - and I adore old Hollywood musicals. They're just so shamelessly fun and delightful and ridiculous! And I took an awesome class on musicals back in college, so my film nerd brain is happy, too. ;)

Flying Down to Rio was better than I expected! There were actually some very funny lines, though the main love triangle was *terrible*. Julio was my favorite - he parachuted out a plane in a grand romantic gesture!- even though NO ONE COULD SAY HIS NAME RIGHT OMG. Dude, you're better off without the crazy lady, anyway.

You have some good stuff coming to you! My favorite dance sequences are in Roberta and Follow the Fleet. Mmmmm, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." As in Rio, in those they play the second bananas/comic relief to a boring alpha couple, and are altogether more entertaining than the main story. Plotwise, my favorite is Shall We Dance, purely because the marriage of convenience is my bulletproof narrative kink. (Also, GERSHWIN SCORE.)

I seem to recall fast forwarding through pretty much anything without either Fred or Ginger in Rio, but yeah, there were several excellent one-liners. Ahhh, the good old days before the Hays Code. ;)
