These customers were obviously thrown for a loop. I'd love it if some of you started a flame war at Amazon. Just start defending my post with equally ridiculous arguments. Just don't let on that we're not serious:

Card Recipient says:

So...when do YOU think hollywood should have added color to films? the 1990s? Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urband Legend would have looked AWFUL in black and white!!!

P. Arnold says:

This reviewer sounds like a pseudo-intellectual to me. None of it makes a damn bit of sense! Thank God he or she didn't go on and on!

Well I think you review is very clever. I have enjoyed a LOT of movies that got bad reviews. “Waterworld” comes to mind.

I like your nod to the cinema verite’ purists:

>When singing is employed in film, it should be in the background; the characters should not be lipsyncing to the music unless there is a radio playing in the background.

What about that allegory comparing the yellow brick road to the gold standard, and the Wizard to William Jennings Bryan, and the tin man to the labor, and the straw man to the farmer...it turned out to be false...L. Frank Baum was a pro-gold standard Republican after all.

You forgot to mention how Glinda and the Wicked Witch are the earliest cinematic illustration of Jung’s “shadow” concept (a Freud reference would spill the beans, but the Jung reference will catch ‘em unprepared).

I'm surprised you failed to address the socioeconomic impact and the homogeneous harmony that was so prevalent in the Wizard of Oz and it's enormous influence on the depth, scope and breadth of the the 2nd season of Gilligan's Island.

It is truly uncanny.

I have now posted replies to both of these confounded souls. I hope they’re tracking replies and will take my bait!

Despite all this, one fact remains incontrovertible: that Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn’t already have.

You deviant freak, say what you will about Jesus, but leave the Wizard of Oz alone.

Speaking of funny AMAZON reviews:

Remember this clown:


Jim Jeffords, RINO-Vermont...

He wrote some lameass book "My declaration of independence" back when he screwed over the party and shifted to "independent"

Anyway, an old freeper (normconquest?) posted this great "review", and it has been there since January of 2002:

An extremely useful collection of pages

"Double quilted for extra softness, it's gentle on my sensitive nether regions, yet strong enough to leave me feeling really clean.

LOL!
