Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Chicagoistas, there's an all-day showing of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on December 28th, for only $10 (total), at the Music Box Theatre.
FotR: 1:20 TTT: 4:40 RotK: 8:00
Looking at those times, I'm guessing they're showing the theatrical releases, with 20 minute breaks between.
Yet another edited trailer, Mary Poppins as a horror film.
Well done! Most classic kids books and movies do have some undertow to them anyway. I'm sure you could do a very scary take on Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version) as well.

You mean it isn't already scary?
There's no earthly way of showing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
You mean it isn't already scary?
Yeah. Just like Audition. You big fraidy cat!
No, it's creepy. Totally different vibe.
You're right. Creepy doesn't equal scary. Now, scary are those damn Flying Monkeys!!
meooooowwww

The Oompa-Loompas from that movie still creep me out.
The thing I love about the Scary Mary trailer is that the Disney movie made Mary Poppins into a much friendlier character than she is in the books themselves. In the books she's cold, distant, and all this freaky (but cool) stuff happens around her. Whenever the kids try and ask her about what's happened, she gets angry with them.
t insert my usual "I want Tim Burton to re-make Mary Poppins" burbling here
Neil Gaiman literally just talked about Mary Poppins and the books in his blog today.
Jilli, will you try to see the musical if it tours? I've read that it's much much darker than the movie, even though the same songs are used. It follows the book more closely.

Hell yes.

This makes me want to see it even more!
Me too.
