Re: General movie news
I'm surprised Disney didn't do their usual trick of making a sh*t live action version of it to hold onto the copyright.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68402362Mary Poppins film age rating raised over 'discriminatory language'
The 1964 film has been reclassified from a U, which stands for universal, to a PG, for parental guidance.
In it, a derogatory term originally used by white Europeans about nomadic peoples in southern Africa is used to refer to soot-faced chimney-sweeps.
That now "exceeds our guidelines" for U films, the BBFC said.
---
"Mary Poppins (1964) includes two uses of the discriminatory term 'hottentots'.
"While Mary Poppins has a historical context, the use of discriminatory language is not condemned, and ultimately exceeds our guidelines for acceptable language at U. We therefore classified the film PG for discriminatory language."
The Oxford English Dictionary says the term, which referred to the Khoikhoi and San people, is "generally considered both archaic and offensive".

Re: General movie news
Mary Poppins really should have told those who used the term to "educate yourself".
She was obviously part of the problem.

Re: General movie news
Isn't "h*ttentots" mentioned in I Don't Care by Shakespears Sister? That'll be next to have a warning, get edited or deleted on streaming sites.
Yet another reason to keep hold of all your old DVDs, videos, CDs and vinyl. And tapes.

Re: General movie news
I desperately wish I’d gone to the Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow. It looks like the kind of thing I’d enjoy.
Years ago, there was a Christmas wonderland in Dorset or Sussex that looked equally great - which ended up with some parents having a fist fight with drunken elves while children sobbed and Santa screamed at them all. I’ve always wished I’d been there too.

Re: General movie news
I think that there's another, more mysterious character who's been identified too.
The 'Unknown' I think.

Horror film Late Night With the Devil takes $666,666 on Sunday in the US
The found-footage film took a suspiciously satanic number on a spooky weekend at the US box office that saw Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire top the charts
