cause my nieces are watching "Mary Poppins", a movie I haven't seen since I was 10 and I am singing along as if I never stopped watching it. I know every friggin word and still cry at the sad parts.

Geesh. I am becoming a sap in my old age!

Nothing wrong with you, hun.....Jon never saw The King And I until last year, and as I sat next to him I was saying every line of dialogue and singing all the songs. He sat there watching me instead of the movie....said it was like watching a play....

I have never seen 'Mary Poppins'

Now if you want to do lines from 'The Godfather'

Mary Poppins is a good movie, I am with ya I cry at the sad parts too.

That was the first movie I ever saw in a theater

I was mesmerized!!

It's sad how movies nowadays desensitze us. They are so full of hate and anger and violence.

Even the kids movies.

"Mary Poppins" was so wholesome.

I went and took the kids on Shabbat (shhhh, don't tell their Roman Catholic mother) to the theater to see UP! and was severely upset by what was shown in the movie. There was the miscarriage scene and then the funeral scene and the anger of the old man who hit the construction worker and how "The Man" ended up taking his home in retaliation and then the bitterness and anger of the old man. All the way to the end it was full of anger and tragedy.

It was just not a good movie for small children. Just like how Marley and Me was rated for kids and my sister said that her husband's father, who was a military police dog trainer and was like a MSGT or something was bawling through the whole movie because it was so harsh.

I believe in the innocence of children.

I know this is sounding like a rant, but we are making it so that children no longer cry when it is appropriate. Or they are too sensitive about stuff.

Remember when we were kids?


I remember my childhood. Steel slides, steel jungle gyms, etc..

I remember when being allowed to play the Nintendo was a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT.

I remember working my butt off doing chores to save up my allowance to buy a ham radio kit. (OMG! Light bulb moment! I AM A GEEK!)

My mother raised me with morals and decency and respect. And I sit here with my nieces and wonder if my lil sis learned ANYTHING about discipline and structure growing up.

Probably why I like "Mary Poppins".

I miss "Sound of Music" too.

And "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". Movies with morals.

Today with all the CGI and need to WOW people, we have lost the true meaning of entertainment.

Rent 'Flipper'

Thats a good movie too.

which version of "Flipper"?

does anyone remember the Laughing Song scene from "Mary Poppins"?


Holy crap! Had me laughing my a$$ off!

Now I know why I love that movie.

The movie, not the TV series.
The first one. I watched it this past winter. Good story.

Feed the bird, twopence a bag

when i got to my friend's house a few days ago he was watching the first R movie i ever saw that had nudity. i was about 10 when i found it by accident and thought i'd just hit the jackpot . 70s style...torpedo boobs and crotch-fro.
