Flossing for Bastards.
While getting brunch at a restaurant in the Upper East Side named Beach Club - where the wood paneling suggests a speakeasy and the randomly placed beach kitsch suggests a lack of both money and imagination - I watched my friend Veronica spend the latter half of our meal converse with our party of five with pepper in her teeth.

Mary Poppins is a woman who flies into the homes...
Mary Poppins has the worst life of any live-action Disney heroine.

Also, Pete’s Dragon is the same movie, but with an old, lonely, magical dragon in place of Mary.
