As in the series finale of the last episode of “Newhart”. Best finale ever.
There is a huge difference between letting a child grow up and purposefully sending her into a storm she never needed to experience. Her safety and life was at risk at every turn.
Sending someone into danger like that isn’t parenting. It’s willful abuse. We aren’t speaking metaphorically about danger here. In Dorothy’s world it was real.
Do you think that was justified?
Forbidden planet was great. I love those old cheesy movies. People think I’m crazy, but I love watching The Blob.
THta was a poor attempt to link Wicked with the Wizard of Oz.
If you recall how the movie ended, she woke up and it turned out that she had dreamed the whole story. In the book, which I like better than the movie, her adventure was real.
I remember when RETURN TO OZ was released by the Disney company in 1985. Joel Siegel, film critic for Good Morning America actually had tears flowing down his cheeks as he cried on how they had ruined “the most beautiful movie ever made, THE WIZARD OF OZ!”
Wonder how he felt about “The Wiz”?
Blame Dorothy for that. It was a dream.
“Reimagined-” Does that mean rhat Dorothy is now a trans-girl? The Munchkins now are fairies? That work”reimagined” conjurs up all sorts of distasteful images.
The munchkins and Lollipop Guild represent, well, unions and their small minded members.
"Invaders From Mars" did it better.
They ought to remake The Blob and have J.B Pritzker play the lead.
