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.
That's insane troll logic!

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.

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?

Yeah. Just like Audition. You big fraidy cat!
No, it's creepy. Totally different vibe.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Neil Gaiman literally just talked about Mary Poppins and the books in his blog today.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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!

Well, the guy who has the rights to the books, a descendent of Travers, I believe, refused to give Disney rights if they were going to just do the movie on stage. Finally, the new playwright said, "Look! Darkness! She's not that nice!" and the descendent said, "Ok."
