Even though it is only Wednesday, it seems that my week has been extremely busy so far; such is college life. Fortunately, last night I got a chance to relax a little bit while watching the classic Gene Kelly film, “Singin’ in the Rain” at the Collins Film Society. To my surprise, I had actually never seen the complete film before. Even more surprising is that Gene Kelly was forty years old when he acted in “Singin’ in the Rain,” not to mention a little bit ill on set. Still, he tapped and twirled like a star in what few people know was raining milk—used for better visibility—and not water.
The Collins Film Society is led by Kate Colvin, a Collins resident, and shows a movie every Tuesday in the Edmonson Coffeehouse. That is, until the very snazzy Collins cinema, complete with a big screen and comfortable seating, is up and running. Active members in the Film Society get to have a say in what will be shown each week. I will be checking the Gnome News, a weekly newsletter email for Collins residents, next Monday to find out which film will be screening next week.
