At least it’s better than being an intellectual slut. Just imagine it, gettin’ down and dirty with a group of other sluts and slutesses and sudenly you think “What if God exists and is in fact watching Schrodinger’s cat in the cyanide-box? Does God constitute an observer, and if so surely being omniscient and omnipresent will make all quantum states collapse.” I tell you it sure put’s a dampner on the evenings sluttitude. Cheers, Bippy the slut. ---

While I don’t want to get between Euchy and Fenris, I have to point out one thing about _Mary Poppins_. Dick van Dyke’s attempt at a “cockney” accent was the worst fucking thing I heard in a movie until, errr until errr well, possibly until Kevin Costner’s English accent in _Robin Hood_. :smack: I can still barely watch the damned movie, and I generally like Dick van Dyke. But with the wonders of modern technology, can’t we dub his crap accent with something more within the sound of Bow Bells, and less like the sound of someone performing acts of oral sex on a hamster the hard way? Fuck, even Jar Jar had a less annoying and more convincing vocal range. ---

What are you, Fenris, one of those artsy-fartsy types who think movies should have a plot and good acting and sharp characterization?

Are people ever going to stop harping on that?! _They needed a guy who could dance!_ And they needed an American “name”, because none of the other principals were known in the US! Leave orf! \*\* No. 🙂 A) Julie Andrews was very well known in the US, having come off of wildly successful runs of My Fair Lady and Camelot. B) There were no other actors who could dance available? Gene Kelly? Robert Preston (to name two off the top of my head) C) Regardless of their reason, it’s _still_ an atrocious accent. Presumably it would not be completely impossible to find, with all of Hollywood and Broadway to choose from, a person who: 1) Was a name, 2) Could dance, 3) speak in a cockney accent that’s _not_ the worst ever recorded! 😉 Fenris ---
