Mary

A brilliant re-edit of footage from Mary Poppins to advertise a rather different take on the movie we recall.

Another tip of the hat to Crypt Leak for mentioning this one to me a while back.

Hi Mike...
I havent' stopped by here in awhile. That Mary Poppins video is hilarious. I showed it to my teens and their opinion was "creepy".

Anyway, thanks for a funny look.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Working on it!

My younger son, I realized when I showed it to him last night, has never seen the original, so we might dig that up sometime soon because the edit's so much funnier when one knows the original context for each of the scenes. As it was, both kids are more interested in the movie this commercial appears to be pitching than in the original.

Remembering Michael Dunn (October 20, 1934- August 30, 1973)

  American actor and singer, Michael Dunn (born Gary Neil Miller) arrived on this date in 1934 in Shattuck, Oklahoma. When he was four, his family moved to Dearborn, Michigan. Parents Jewell and Fred championed his right to live and develop openly, as part of mainstream life, defying repeated pressures from school authorities to send him to a school for disabled children.   An early reader, he was a champion speller, showed an early aptitude for the piano, and developed a lyric baritone and was given to crowd-drawing impromptu public performances even while just waiting for a bus.

Omni-Adds week of October 8th

     A fairly brief nod toward t his past week's pair of additions to my library.       The fourth volume (of five) of Brubaker's Captain America run, and the all-in-one collection of Peter David's run of Captain Marvel stories, following the tale of Genis-Vell, son of (Marvel's) first Captain Marvel.       Each of these were series I only read once, as each was coming out, each with likely even less attention than I realized at the time. (Which I've been realizing again and again is true for entirely too much of my unfortunately distracted adult life.)       The Captain America volume is 928 pages, and while I recall some of the specifics it's receded to a blur in memory. The fifth volume, wrapping up Brubaker's run with the character, will be coming out within the next month or so if memory serves.       The Captain Marvel tome is 1400 pages, covering some sixty one issues, between his...

At eBay! Just a note that Tony Collett has a an assortment of toys, action figures, comics and games coming down to their final minutes on ebay . (Sorry for forgetting to note this earlier, Tony. It seemed as if they'd just gone up and here we are near the end.) Also, Mike Leuszler's ebay store has an interesting mix of games, comics, prints, etc. I'll finally be putting some more items (probably only clix) up within the next day or two. Last week's power outage threw my schedule far off, and there were some complications due to me selling something large for someone else.
