I like Shirley Temple movies

1. How terrific was it to see this simple sentence posted today?

Very.

I also like them. And she grew up to be a great American, too.

"No spinach, take away that awful greenery!
No spinach, give me lots of jelly beanery!"

I think I'm losin' it here...

2. They're really good

She subverts her own politics. And still has time to subvert cuteness.

3. Graham, is that you?

4. An objective critique of her.

She could dance really well, when she and "Bojangles" Robinson were on screen together, it was magic.

But she was a crappy singer, and was terrible at acting.

Danny Bonaduce put it best, (and he would know,) "If you're cute and you suck, once you stop being cute, you simply suck." :-)

Besides, during the 60's she ran for office as a proto-Freeper.
