My sister posted on my Facebook page to say that all the people skating to music from Moulin Rouge! in the Olympics were making her nostalgic for the days when we would listen to the soundtrack on repeat driving to and from school. (This was 2002-3, when I was a freshman and she was a senior at the same high school. No, she didn’t know Greta Gerwig; we went to public school in Sacramento.)
Ugh, that version of “Roxanne” is so emotionally intense and I still have a lot of feelings about it.
The end credits “Bolero” is definitely not my favorite piece of music from Moulin Rouge, but when I saw that costume I knew the medley would include a bit from “Hindi Sad Diamonds” (the faux-Bollywood version of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” from the play within a film).
Early 2000s nostalgia is ramping up out there. Everything semi-old is new again.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
