It was when the original kids were grown up and had kids of their own. It was good to get out and I tried to stay interested but half-way through I got up to use the restroom and half-way back to my seat I thought, "What the hell am I here at “Mary Poppins”? It was not my type of movie at all. It wasn’t anywhere near as good as the original when I saw it when I was 7 or 8. It had none of the original songs. The best part was Dick Van ■■■■ having a small part in it.
But yeah, no “Supercallafr…”…No “Chim Chiminiy”… What a dud.
I love Dick Van ■■■■! I grew up watching his show and still watch it occasionally. I didn’t see the new Mary Poppins, but I heard about his dancing! Apparently the man’s still got it! Did you see that scene, with him dancing on a desk, at 93 years old?
No, I didn’t see that; it was really dark in the theater and I don’t remember most of the movie.
I remember my diet cherry vanilla Coke though; it was only a dollar and I put too much ice. And the restrooms were clean but they were low on paper towels. The concession girl had a little rip at the bottom of her shirt and she was missing a tooth.
Well actually, there was adult themes that might be over the heads of very young kids. I don’t mean sex or violence or anything dark or heavy. But even the “bad” guys in the movie were kind of comical.
I used to have a thing for Julie Andrews and she could pop my cork anytime. I had a thing for squeaky clean virtuous women, there’s something strangely attractive about them.
