Off-topic: The Dictator comes to Amazon Prime on November 14th. I'll check it out to see if Jason's still in it.

I mentioned in the Kast as a kid I wanted to be a war evacuee because of this and the Chronicles of Narnia. I basically was one because my mom had a job where she wss a quality auditor in blood banking and was gone every other week for a week around the country and sometimes internationally. So I had not quite nannies but more than just babysitters. The Narnia kids mom was still alive when they were sent away because of the bombings fyi. I assumed I would get to goon a magical adventure. One of my one time last minute babysitters let me have Jack in the Box for breakfast and watch Titanic in her room all day.

Not sure what to expect from this. His previous McCartney albums have been to liberate himself from a band. I think his recent touring band are talented but I don't hear their voice as performers (or maybe they are very in line with what I imagine Paul wants). I'm hoping he gets weird with it though.

Literally came here to post this and tag you.

Off topic...

The evacuees included children who had parents.

Isn't that the whole set-up? That's why they were sent to her house in the first place, when she was like 'I don't want them in my house'. It was her war duty to take some orphans in

In rereading Richard Sherman's quote he mentions the kids are orphans so Eglantine could adopt them. I'm not sure the movie makes that clear. (When you say "orphan", do you mean "a person that has lost their parents", or orphan "frequently"?)

I had 3 ideas I would immediately want to suggest: Nosferatu The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Let The Right One In (the Swedish version)

Yeah. "Liberate" probably isn't the best word. I certainly don't think in any real way, Paul has been constrained creatively unless he imposes some limits on himself with his more traditional albums. I'm hoping the "stripped down" description from the email means it's a loose, semi-intimate album a la McCartney.

if you push too hard when you’re trying to poop your claws might pop out. Good luck wiping then.

I liked the selection of records on the turntable and that the punched a hole through the middle block of the new logo.

I know you're joking, but I'm excited by the title. In the past, he's used his self-titled albums to be more experimental. If he's calling this "3" I think we can expect something kind of weird.

I call BS. I know Paul McCartney's released more than two albums!

Apologies for threadjacking. I hadn't meant to but was having fun joking around. As for the movie, my biggest "quibble" is that they still tried to make it Mary Poppins once they already had secured and then made Mary Poppins. They should have gone back and said "What made these books popular on their own?" or at least "What first interested us in the books?" and gone with that. It's almost like they were trying to make a direct-to-video sequel of Mary Poppins. The other fatal flaw was cutting the length of the movie to fit the Radio City Music Hall. Not only did it change the film (quoted below) but the trimmed parts were lost or hard to restore. So, everyone across the country has seen a version that was done to accommodate one specific location! Here's a quote from Richard Sherman about losing the children singing Nobody's Problems.

Throwing in my vote for this one as well. I actually LOVED it as a kid when it first came out (I have no justification for this). And now... oof... and it all boils down to duh duh duh... Cancer milk! I think J J P would have a blast with this one.
