Mary Poppins

[-Talbot-]

Just stuck the TV on and Mary Poppins is on.
I have given it ten minutes and feel the urge to ask...

Why and how do people over the age of 8 watch this stuff?

[Prudie]

My daughter has arrived and so far today we have had to watch School of Rock,The Muppet's Christmas Carol and Frozen - she is 32 :-)

[-Talbot-]

Shtep in time...now he has turned into a Dutchman.

[shoota]

Didn't a Dutch youth once stick his digit in a Dyke?

[-Talbot-]

Yeah but I don't think this is the same Dyke, shoota.

[Marshwarble]

Have you seen Saving Mr Talbot? :)

[Maydup]

You did watch it Talbot, Happy Christmas!

[anagram]

I am happy to say I have never seen it.

[zebo]

Because we have children/grandchildren under 8 maybe??? I'm getting my half yearly dose of Disney!

[douglas9401]

I like to switch between this one and James Stewart Shouts At Snow.

Utterly missable.

[Davemano]

It is appreciated by people who have young children, and that's what it was aimed at. A family film.

Prudie; today my daughter and i were discussing the film 'Bird Box' and i said i will probably watch it tonight. She said she would probably do so, too. I have just watched it (Netflix) and phoned her to ask if she had. "No, i've just watched Gremlins," replied my 34 year old daughter:-/

It's lovely and nostalgic.
I don't want to watch the new one just coming out. It's had some bad reviews. Just leave us with our memories.

[Peter Pedant]

because of wonders like
how do you solve a problem like diarrhoea ?

I couldnt stomach it in scene 1 where the holy nuns did a dance number on the way to church
looked OK but erm you dont when you proceed.

and their gregorian chant was polyphony

yeah but hell it was a musical
and nodda dirge

[goodgoalie]

I've seen a clip from the new one, and Emily Blunt has the most ridiculous put-on 'posh' accent, absolutely expialli-atrocious.

But folks, wait till you hear John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot....

[jakep]

Think you are trapped in Sound of Music PP

[-Talbot-]

How coincidental ...just woke up from my Chrismas dinner power nap and Chitty chitty bang bang is on.

Seems better than Poppins...what do you think?

(Is that Ellie Goulding's mum?)

[Marshwarble]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is too long. Bedknobs is best with "Portobello Road" and the Witch Correspondence Course.
