Mary Poppins
Plus: the skint |
Seventy-five years ago, the P. L. Travers' Mary Poppins was first published in the U.S. and 45 years ago this month, the much-loved movie opened. A tip of the umbrella. [Ed: Yes, slow news day.]
Broadway
The musical is playing at the New Amsterdam.
Signed Book
Julie Andrews apparently signed
a number of copies of Travers' book. $585.
Remix
A Mary Poppins sound sampling called Expialidocious,
created by an ingenious young Aussie named Pogo.
Pez Dispenser
No doubt Pez collectors can explain the rationale for the $925 price
of a vintage Mary Poppins dispenser.
Documentary
The Boys, a biopic of the Sherman brothers
(composer and lyricist of Mary Poppins among much else),
whose relationship with each other was rarely sunny.
HellzaPoppins
Scary Mary Poppins Recut Trailer:
editing turns Mary Poppins into a horror film.
