Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mary Poppins is dangerous and kick ass. All the other supernatural beings are afraid of her
Which is why I really want a new take on a Mary Poppins movie; she's not all sweetness and light, she doesn't sing songs with birdies. She's prissy, she can be petty and spiteful, and she is some sort of supernatural powerhouse. Maybe a movie by Guillermo del Toro, because he would give it the needed unsettling undertone.

Who was the elf that Frodo offered the ring to? Mary Poppins should be like that scene.
And maybe shoot force-lightning at Voldy....

One of my friends is going to be in the Opening Ceremonies.
She's in the bit representing the NHS. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

I love the sports team name Tottenham Hotspur more than just about any high profile pro team name. It just has a something.
Concur. It scans well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Heh. Disney owns all rights to Mary Poppins (IIRC), so there is NO chance of getting an adaptation that is more faithful to the books.

Though it makes me wonder if the filmmakers of Disney ever get bored and whip up their own versions of their classic tales.
