I love reading articles that discuss the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This article however manages to disappoint. The Tornado of 2009 will be the bottom falling out of the US economy due to insane levels of government spending on the military.
There are bad and evil people in every generation but there is no Adolph Hitler present in the middle east.

The one comparison that can still be drawn is that in the end you should always rely on yourself and not in the Wizard of the Castle of Green (Ben Bernanke/The Federal Reserve).

One very scary part to 1939 audiences which doesn't scare people today is Dorothy falling into the hog pen. Modern audiences, generally not being familiar with the habits of hogs, don't get that Dorothy was in serious danger of becoming hog chow.

The Wizard of Oz still gives me nightmares. Could never watch it, even to this day.

Got my blu-ray set last night…sweetness. Comes in a fancy box w/ all sorts of add-ins (books, period materials–even a watch!), plus a digital copy–a trend I like in more and more new releases, so you can watch it thru your iTunes or even munchkin sized on your iPhone. (unnecessary, but oh so cool)

My wife and I watched "Wizard of Oz" on the big screen thanks to FANTOM as well that night…the 7PM was sold out, but the 10 had room…

Wish I could have taken the kids, but it was a school night…

I could lean back and imagine how people felt back in '39…that sepia toned B&W movie, then a walk through the door…WOW…

I miss great movies…
