The creepy, fricked up film that is Mary Poppins

Aside from just how f-ing creepy the character Mary Poppins is, from the way she enters from the clouds, to the mirror stuff, to the bizarre days off, and then all the insane shite she exposes the children to, is the setting of the story as a whole.

Nothing says children's movie quite like dreary, Jack the Ripper-esque jolly old smog filled Victorian London!

There's also Dick Van Dyke,... Who clearly knows Mary Poppins, but who the hell is he? He hangs out with creepy, dancing chimney sweeps and makes hallucinogenic Street art...and always seems to appear out of nowhere at the right time.

Then, as if the setting of the Mary Poppins world was not fricked up enough... There's a nice little 10 minute scene straight out of Eyes Wide Shut where the Satan worshipping illuminati call Mr. Banks into the bank/masonic temple late at night only to ridicule, fire, and threaten him because of something a 7 yr old did to offend the 100-year-old Rothschild overlord earlier in the day, then laughs himself to death by floating...

I had not seen the movie since I was a kid until I caught much of it last night when one of the networks aired it... I couldn't get over how many screwed up things were in the film that supposed to be an endearing children's classic.

Yes, there are light moments, but if you told me Kubrick directed this as some psychotic Thriller, I would absolutely have believed it...
