I love that Woody referenced Ginger in this movie. Her name was mentioned at least 3 times and her movie 'Swing Time' was referenced as well. Ginger Rogers is my favorite actress (favorite person actually). I imagine Woody was quite fond and reverential of Ginger. They teamed up in 1987 to speak out against the colorization of classic black and white movies.
