I've never seen Mary Poppins.
It's a musical and I can't stand musicals.
The Wizard of Oz was bad enough.
Imagine the great WW2 movie The longest day being turned into a musical.

The tin man was rusted when they found him.
Except tin doesn't rust;they coat it on steel to keep it from rusting.
Duh.

I don't know...I'd watch the sound of music over Universal Soldier any day...

[ddsack]

Not a fan of most musicals, but I love "Chicago" - and all that jazzzzzzzz!

The only musical I ever liked.

How to succeed in business without really trying.

update little house now with nudity!
Rated 13+ for:
Nudity - girls in ball gowns wearing corsets underneath - but under all those clothes, they are naked!
alcohol use -there was indeed punch at the cotillion, but no implication of it being spiked
violence - the waltzing was energetic
foul language - charles calls himself a dumb, stupid farmer! He may have hurt his own feelings!
sexual content - oh my, there was kissing, and absolutely nothing beyond

If you catch a 12 yo watching - ground them until the are 13. No telling what might happen otherwise.
If you know of a parent that let a kid watch this, call a govt social worker immediately.

If a person were able to go back in time and not have lived in that time they would be flabbergasted at the amount of people smoking and where they were smoking and the age they were smoking.
They simply can't wrap their minds around it.
The little pee ant town of Burnett Texas has hair length regulations.
The little town I went to school at had no hair length regulations in the 70s buy the time I graduated.
Some boys had long hair and busy beards.
We also had student smoking areas in the back for junior highschool and highschool.

@worth1 Jaws is still a rough one to this day for those of us that spend time in the ocean alone sometimes.

The Indianapolis men of courage was more horrifying for me because it was a true story.

[Mark_Thompson]

Yeah read the book. Nothing good about that.

[worth1]

I spent so much time way in the surf in California I know good and well there were probably giant sharks out in the water with me.
The woman that did the video is really spot on about things.
I had no idea who she was before today.
She's actually a lawyer.
I like her comedy a lot.

I remember getting dropped off at the movies when I was a little kid.
Saw a vampire movie that kept me up all night with my hands around my neck so a vampire couldn't bite me.
I was literally scared out of my mind.
I was scared of vampires all the way up until I was about 14 years old.
Totally terrified of them.
My family had me convinced that my dad was a vampire.
One time they set me up in the middle of the night so as my dad came in my bedroom showing his teeth.
They were closing the door so I couldn't get out but my Mom and my sister didn't get it closed fast enough.
I jumped up and went full bore combat mode on the whole family and beat the living hell out of anything that got close to me with a stick.
I was going to fight my way out no matter what I wasn't going down without a fight.
That's when the vampire scare thing ended.
But it didn't end for me it was payback time.
And I paid them back in spades.
Snakes in my sister's bed in the middle of the night.
Gun powder in my mom's ash tray.
Scaring my dad half to death.
Tarantulas on my sisters face in the middle of the night.
Sneaking into my mom's bed in the middle of the night and choking her while she was asleep like some sort of killer.
Fake snake bite and passing out in front of everyone.

So those Disney movies are not rated G anymore? Wow.

Yeah PG stands for Parental Guidance....I guess if Jaws screwed her up that is kinda on her mom. But I doubt it screwed her up. Still way less violence in that movie that in just about any show today. A shark biting a swimmer is not violence, it is nature. Now if that same shark came up on the beach and started shooting people in the head for no discernable reason, and not eating them, and is later explained by how society persecuted his great great great grandparents so it wasn't even his fault, not really, well that is gratuitous unnecessary violence.

I don't think PG13 came out until the mid 80s when govt wanted to take even more responsibility away from parents. I remember being at the movies when Red Dawn came out. My older brother wanted to me with him. I thought we had come to see Cloak & Dagger (dabney coleman with kid sidekick, I think? Elliot from ET?). I think Red Dawn was maybe PG-13. I ended up going to Cloak & Dagger, what a waste of film that was. That was the first time, probably ever, that I truly felt cheated.

[worth1]

I've never even heard of Cloak and Dagger.

[JRinPA]

I think I saw it again on TV, years later, started watching it, and it was like a release of a blacked out memory.

I can't remember for sure but I think my brother left me and went to watch Red Dawn after 20 minutes.

Cloak and Dagger, the commercials must have made it seem so cool to a little kid. Can probably youtube that I guess, nowadays.

[JRinPA]

Yeah, just watched the trailer, Elliot plus Atari games plus walkie talkies...I could not tell you what that movie was except boring and incomprehensible. Even the "trailer" is absurdly boring.
We had an Atari 2600, and Adam computer, my cousins had either an Amiga or commodore64. So I guess I was impressed enough by the video games and Elliot to think that movie would be the coolest thing ever.

[worth1]

I never had a video game in the house in my entire life.
The only thing close was a Microsoft combat flight simulator for the European theater and Pacific theater of WW2.
It wasn't really a video game but allowed you to experience flying the old WW2 war birds on what ever side you wanted.
That was right before 9/11 when those guys used flight simulator to practice flying into the world trade center.
None of the guys that played regular video games could fly these simulations they were so real.

[JRinPA]

I have played a bunch of them on full "realism". I could trap and everything. I was doing flight sims for quite a while. CFS1 and 2 were fun, but hard to play Japanese late war. IL46 was supposed to be much better, more realistic, but I could not get into that interface. I would consider them all video games though. It is not a real simulator unless is 99% boring.

Now with VR and/or multiple screens there is all kinds of stuff to really.

IL 2 or IL 46, forget the name, Sturmovik, it was Russian front.
