But for whatever reason (likely the general sourness of Travers), I was 900% in the other direction during this one. I was stonefaced basically the entire time. Maybe there was something in the air in my house, too?

I've never even seen Marry Poppins (I'm not a huge Disney fan, either.) There must have been something in the air that night.

Holy shit...Sour! That's putting it mildly, no?<br /><br />Holy shit, her stroll into the lake was ridiculous. I'm sure she's a talented lady...but my eyes damn near rolled out of my head.<br /><br />I'm actually with you about the dad, as his character is very un-Disney. I didn't really think of it that way. He was a good guy, but when he imploded it felt silly to me.

Also the scenes with Ruth Wilson who had the most ridiculous scenes - the fuck with her walking into the lake?! - infuriated me because she is so talented and I wish she had better things to do, all her good roles come from TV where the good writing seems more present nowadays. I did however love Farrel's s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-41714349337921729832015-02-08T16:21:35.676-05:002015-02-08T16:21:35.676-05:00I guess she was good at being insufferable, but sh...I guess she was good at being insufferable, but she seemed almost inhuman to me. Sure it's a good performance, but the lack of depth the character was allowed choked the life out of it. It's no fault of Thompson's, obviously, but I couldn't get past it.<br /><br />My wife likely agrees with you. She liked the movie enough.

Granted, she is everything you say she is, but man is she good at it. I also hated her guts. Yeah, the flashbacks were heavy-handed, bit they worked okay for me. Overall, I think its a decent movie with one awesome performance.Wendell Ottleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472743980681912924noreply@blogger.com
