David Tomlinson (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks)—The ultimate scrungler of vintage Disney Movies... just watch him losing his job at the end of Mary Poppins. You'll get it. [clip under the cut]

Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The Man Who Laughs)— oh my god look at him in Caligari. I specifically said that he's from this because him as Cesare is just. MMMMM. he's so wet and sad and scrungly. and little. he's like a kitten left alone in a dark alley except he's also killed people (not his fault). something wrong with him (Cesare). as for Conrad himself. oh my god look at him... them big ole eyes and the walk of some fucking thing creature

David Tomlinson:

i don't have anything to say i think hes just great in old disney movies

Conrad Veidt:

I mean just look at him. The wet cat energy. The ghostly eyes. He did the monster mash before anybody. Where would we be today without him, he even has one (1) song on spotify. I regularly forget he's dead and wonder what his next movie will be. He slays in any role. The Ultimate Skrunkle.

He's the ultimate scrungly to me, the basis for many of our scrungly guys today. he's so skinny and pale and he wears so much eye makeup

He was THE bisexual goth tumblr sexyman of early film. Seriously the old timey Tumblrinas would send him fanmail about wanting him to choke them. He inspired the designs for the Joker and Jafar,and was nicknamed the “Demon of the Silver Screen” for his horror roles. His first wife divorced him for crossdressing. Hitler sent him hate mail for speaking out about antisemitism. He really loved his wife and told the Germans to go fuck themselves when they threatened his job if he didn’t divorce her for being Jewish. Just look at me and tell me this guy isn’t scrungly he’s like a personification of the emo kid from Horton hears a who

So, hear me out.

...I think David Tomlinson is kinda cute...

If I may add some David Tomlinson propaganda, he is a highlight of a very odd Vincent Price movie: The City Under the Sea (or War-Gods of the Deep). He plays Tab Hunter’s rather bumbling sidekick who inexplicably carries his pet chicken about on this perilous submarine quest. It’s marvellous.

If ‘scrungly’ were in the dictionary, would he not accompany the definition?

60 Years of Mary Poppins!

That’s right last week marked 60 years since the release of Mary Poppins in cinemas and it has stayed around and delighted many generations from that moment forward. This is one of those films that I find strange if someone has not seen it, I think I exhausted my VHS tape (yes, I am that old) from watching and rewinding and watching again. Julie Andrews is practically perfect in every way as Mary…
