I've never seen the film version of The Women, but I have seen a live stage production. Does that count for anything?

That all depends.


Do you like the kock? If so, I think the movie version is de rigeur.

As a representative of the Chernabog household, I'm calling a The Women view on the biggievision teevee, pick a Friday or Saturday night in the near future.

Do thincrisps come in popcorn flavor??

I think he should make Jungle Red thin crisps.
;)

How about Jungle Red Pepper Garlic Cheddar? Or Summer Rain Parmesan Sage?

And they'll help you keep your Adonis figure!

I'm soooo up for this!

September 1st, 8th or 15th?

15th!

Now, this doesn't sound very enchanting to me at all:

Scary new OZ movie

Disney's Return To Oz tanked already, in large part due to its grim and depressing tone. (I kind of like it in spite of this, though it isn't aging all that well for me.) Even The Wiz, on film, ended up as a heavy-handed downer. Now, this McFarlane take on Oz? I give it a pre-emptory Bah. Between that and, I presume, the eventual movie of Wicked, a generation is going to think of Oz as a conflicted, neurotic place. Where's the whimsy and fun?!

(p.s. - Yes, I do like Wicked on stage, but I worry that a movie of it is likely to suffer from similar "Oz is a bad place" vibes. Can we get Baum's good hearted, place you don't want to leave Oz someday?)

Jiminy Christmas a Ripley-like Dorothy? There already ARE Oz sequels. Quite a few. Written by Baum. Why not try to do those properly? (And by "properly" I mean "not like Return to Oz", although that was closer than most.)
