The Wizard of Oz has been on like the last two days. My kids have watched it, after watching The Grinch who Stole Christmas.

Now, Oz is a different kinda movie, if you ask me, but there are several fallacies in it. Like, we're sitting there, and I'm like, cool, Dorothy is in black and white, and then when the house lands in oz, she's in color. She had to have been 'trippin', on shrooms, or something.

Then, I was paying attention to the good witch when she was telling Dorothy about the midgets. She tells her to follow the golden brick road, and that the midgets will guide her to the end of their land. Did you notice that? And then, when she embarks on her journey, they only follow her to the edge of the garden, wtf? I thought the good witch told her they'd escort her to the edge of midget land, or whatever it is called. Thanks for the escort.

My youngest loved Toto, and I had to investigate to see what kinda dog Toto was. In the movie, he is a Cairn Terrier, and get this, he got paid like $125/week, and the midgets only got paid $50/week. Wtf? I mean, we got African/Americans demanding reparations for slavery, when the midgets get paid less than a dog! That's screwed up.

The midgets, they were cool, though. Do you remember when they were singing (all the time). And the three little dudes were singing something that sounded like 'lolipop' or something. Anyway, they looked badass, all stiff lipped and one even had a pipe in his mouth, he looked like a little Popeye of something. I think if I was a midget, I'd be that one, with the pipe, he just looked like he could open a little can of whoopass if he wanted to.

But, what was up with the flowers sprouting from their shoes? Did you notice that? They had to have been tripping.

The Wizard of Oz was a political satire....I don't think the flowers sprouting from the shoes had any meaning though.

Oh man I watched it last night also, I don't know what it is but everytime I get to the part where the lion tries to pick a fight with the tinman and scare crow I just wanna stick a knife in his belly and watch his lion endtrails ooze out.

Something about that dude really gets under my hot chocolate, and thats not something that happens alot unless we are talking about a flame.

My youngest( almost 20) was watching it the other night and trying to fit Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with it. It did work pretty well. I had always heard about it but never tried it,

I finally tried that about a year ago. It was kinda cool the first time through the CD, but after it started over it didn't really match up. I'd heard about it for years, so I was expecting something that would just blow my mind. But about the best I can say is that it was kinda neat.
