A spoonful of disappointment, the Mary Poppins / Tim Burton poster is a Hoax!

A spoonful of disappointment as we learn that the Mary Poppins / Tim Burton poster is a Hoax!

Over the past couple weeks a certain poster has been circulating across the web, of a sinister and dark re-telling of Mary Poppins from Director Tim Burton. We here at Beyond the Marquee have kept a tight lip on it, because in fact, our good friend and occasional contributor to the site; Sam Carter was behind this early April Fool’s prank. We know…you all were hoping for a Burton’esque twist on the beloved tale of the Practically Perfect in Every Way Nanny, but sadly, the poster was indeed a fake. The method behind the madness was all part of a fun (and shameless publicity stunt) to announce the next group pop art gallery; THE BURTON SHOW. Set to open November of this year at the Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim, California, this unofficial, non-affiliated tribute pop art show will feature various artist’s take on all the films of Tim Burton. Yes, even Planet of the Apes! If you can’t wait until November, we’re told there’s a huge show coming up on May 10th, at http://rothick.com. And be sure to check out POPcade, Orange County’s largest celebration of video game inspired pop art ever! For more information visit the POPzilla Gallery Facebook Page or SamCarterArt.com.

The frivolity with the little darlings continues as we follow one of Tinker Bell’s friends on a quest to find her fate and become accepted. It’s a different take on how Peter Pan’s nemesis Captain Hook may have made it to Never Land.

The Game Has Changed! New EightyTwo Arcade Bar Opens in Downtown Los Angeles

The 1982 TRON Bally Midway arcade game at the EightyTwo arcade bar in Downtown Los Angeles.

“Don’t put any change in the meter — we’re going to need it for the games.” Cindy Morgan as Lora Baines in 1982’s TRON film.

1982 was a watershed year in entertainment — a time when cinema gave birth to some of its most iconic sci-fi/fantasy/horror movies of all time, including: “Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan”, “E.T.”, “Poltergeist”, “The Dark Crystal”, “Blade Runner”, “John Carpenter’s: The Thing” — and TRON, a film which also produced an arcade game counterpart: the first ever video-game based upon a movie — which subsequently was awarded “Coin-Operated Game of the Year” by Electronic Games magazine at that time. Now that pivotal year has been crafted into a monicker for an exciting, new arcade/bar located in Downtown Los Angeles — an area which GQ recently called the “Next Great City in America.” Here’s a look at the set-up — along with an interview with its co-owner Scott Davids.
