Great Balls of Fire!

[cinema_babe]

I saw an old movie this weekend called Ball of Fire with Barbara Stanwyck as a flashy nightclub singer who is also a gangster's girlfriend and Gary Cooper as a nerdy intellectual who has 0 experience with women. Throw in a couple of henchmen and seven eggheads who have been shut off from the world and hijinx ensue.

Seriously, if you ever get the chance, watch this movie. Below is a quote from the movie that I think is one of the best explanations ever.

I love him. I love those hick shirts he wears with the boiled cuffs and the way he always has his vest buttoned wrong. He looks like a giraffe, and I love him. I love him because he's the kind of guy who gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk, and I love the way he blushes right up over his ears. I love him because he doesn't know how to kiss, the jerk!
