Stupid Guest Tricks

But not all the smoke, you can still see a few wisps of it.

They also airbrushed out the glass of scotch he was holding.

Fun to compare to the original, it's like one of those "What's different" puzzles!

Just returned from seeing it, and was very affected by so many things....the way the movie takes the viewer back in time, the history and love for Disneyland and the Mary Poppins Movie/Music, Sympathy for the characters and watching each person's contribution to the creative process, knowing the meaning of so many of the movie details. Our Showing's audience applauded and I haven't heard that in a while at any movie. I overheard a 14 year old say that if someone didn't cry during this movie, they weren't alive. I should have brought a whole box of Kleenex!

yep, it's a good movie.

Several Leads and I saw Saving Mr Banks. We all were very pleased with the entire film. A few nights later I was checking the Hub for VoluntEar events and wandered to a link which lead to a contest for CMs to enter. The contest/drawing was two free tickets to Saving Mr. Banks. Dates and show times were pre set, thus a CM + 1 had to be off and plan around several dates and times. I entered the contest - simple E m form, then forgot all about it. Last night I received an E m informing me I'd won two tickets for Saving Mr. Banks Jan. 8th 2100 at AMC DTD. Seeing Saving Mr. Banks a second time free starts my New Year off very well. Thank you MM.

Nice to know you think it's worth seeing twice. My wife and I are trying to see that (and Frozen, too, for that matter.) It seems an irrefutable law in our lives when we are able to go to the movies, nothing is playing that catches our interest, and when there are movies we want to see, we just can't make it due to schedule or healthe (we've both had heavy coughs from lingering colds over the past couple of months and refuse to subject other people to our hacking through a movie.)

Maybe this weekend!

I thought saving Mr. Banks was a great movie, although I did a bit of reading later and found out that Travers was very displeased with how the movie turned out, where as saving Mr. Banks made it seem that she actually enjoyed the final product. Still, I do recognize that this is a a story with a basis in real life and not a documentary about the making of Mary Poppins, and on that basis the film was wonderful. I think Tom Hanks did an amazing job of capturing Walt's mannerisms and speech patterns, enough that I was able to suspend belief and watch the film as if it was Walt and not Tom up there on the screen.

I liked it too. you just have to read up on travers and see how she really felt about it.

The Movie did make everything seem much nicer than it probably was-* Plot Spoiler Ahead*



I came out of it feeling very sympathetic to Travers despite the fact she was documented to be unreasonable with HUGE control issues. I think that the point of the movie beside keeping us interested is that in our lives we can look back and remember the Good and move forward, rather than become mired in what was terrible. This was what really made me cry, having lost both Parents recently and having difficult relationships with both.

Here's something to dry those tears.
