Another movie post: Asha and I just started our "journey" watching the Academy Award "Best Picture" Winners. First up was 1928/29 winner The Broadway Melody. Overall, it was a nice movie that combined the "Broadway revue" genre with acting and some character development. There was an interesting bonus on the disc: The Dogway Melody which, as you could imagine, involved dogs acting out a 15 minute version of the movie.

Is this the film that premiered the tune "Singing in the Rain"? As to the doggie short, Turner Classic Movies show these short subjects all the time. Apparently audiences of the 30a had an insatiable appetite for cute puppies singing the current hits. I wonder which entertainment option of the 2000s will be considered as odd as these?

Anything involving David Hasselhoff.

I think it was. I was surprised to hear "Singing in the Rain" in it.
