Will the Cowardly Lion get a medal for Courageous Restraint?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
Will the Cowardly Lion get a medal for Courageous Restraint?
Oh, c’mon! They’ll not only over do the special effects they’ll WILDLY over do the special effects to the point of stupidity.
Special effects should be used as Hitchcock used them; to create a seamless, believable unbelievable thing. Today special effects ARE the film rather than a support to the story.
***This latest Oz twist comes as Disney is trying very hard to mount The Great And Powerful Oz***
The original MGM WIZARD OF OZ bombed at the boxoffice big time! It gained a following only after being shown on TV years later.
In the 1980s Disney released RETURN TO OZ and it also bombed. I still remember Joel Segal’s review of it on a morning show.
He came on with tears practicly rolling down his face and and bawled about how could DISNEY dare to up stage the original Wizard of Oz, “The greatest musical ever!” Then he ripped into Return to OZ.
“This latest Oz twist comes as Disney is trying very hard to mount The Great And Powerful Oz. Sam Raimi is developing that film while he simultaneously develops World of Warcraft for Warner Bros and Legendary.”
I think we have a winning-combination. “Warcraft of Oz!”
