Happy Tuesday with Mary Poppins

Monday July 6, 2009

Categories: Varia

I heard the whole film "Mary Poppins" twice on the way to and from Colorado. Kids in the back seats watching it on DVD. I thought I'd heard about enough of La Poppins, but Andrew Sullivan posted this great dance remix from the movie. The boys watched it tonight with big smiles on their faces. Me too. It'll make you smile, for sure:

Check out on Andrew's blog what this same guy did with Willy Wonka...

Ditto to Lord Karth. Can I say (since my beloved wife is not looking over my shoulder as I type) that Julie Andrews is one of the most naturally lovely women ever to grace the silver screen -- and still is? On the Hollywood cosmic scale, there may be women more "beautiful" or "hotter", but Julie Andrews' beauty is the beauty of a woman you could expect to see on the street, or in an airport concourse, or coming into a conference room. To a degree not often acheived in Hollywood terms, her beauty was real. And boy, did she have a set of pipes. I never saw her in the stage production of "My Fair Lady", but I own the recording, and "I Could Have Danced All Night" is on my desert island list. Thanks for the post and the memories, Rod.

40% of the under 24 population of London is non-white; the descendents of the people represented in Mary Popins have essentially been swamped by third world immigration. Its much easier to see the continuity -- cultural, biological -- in countries like France, Spain, Italy which haven't yet succumbed to the Anglo-Saxon demographic suicide cult.

Richard:

Perhaps you can tell your wife your thoughts about the lovely and gracious Ms. Andrews. And then you can tell her that Ms. Andrews is one of the few Hollywood denizens whose natural beauty, poise and grace holds a candle to hers. You might even play the video Mr. Dreher posted in support of your statement.

What happens after that is for you and your wife alone. ;-)

Your servant,

Lord Karth

"MP" was my younger daughter's choice for movie night last Friday and though we've seen it a hundred times, I have to marvel at how wonderfully entertaining it still is. It has some of the best music (and one of the mostly richly orchestrated) of any musical. As a fan of dance and club music, the remix is pretty cool too.
