Mary Poppins Returns

Used the MBO birthday voucher to redeem a ticket to watch Mary Poppins Returns on Wednesday night (otherwise the showtimes was gonna be after 9 p.m. from Thursday onwards). Apparently I could use the other one for another movie if I so choose, but let's see if there's another movie that I would want to watch before the month is up. 

Also almost missed the beginning as I had a brain fart and had held on to the GSC ticket stub from the night before which had different hall number. Yep #oldliao

I haven't seen Mary Poppins since I was a kid myself, so I went in pretty cold. 

  • Yep, that was really Dick van Dyke dancing on that desk. He's one spry nonagenarian. 
  • Being under the weather didn't help when the tear-jerker songs started... 
  • Definitely didn't expect to see Angela Lansbury in this. 
  • Or Meryl Streep, either, though I don't know why I'm so surprised. 
  • Ya they were not kidding about Lin-Manuel Miranda's accent in this movie.
  • Has Colin Firth ever played a bad guy in his career? I can't remember. 
I liked it fine, but I'm glad that I didn't really pay money to watch this too.
