It told a story and without some billion dollar George Lucas budget, I thought it did it quite well. I get the whole opinion thing however I sure would love to know the details behind the previous posts indicating the Wiz was a bad movie. Back that one up with details please.

I'll miss MJ be4cause he healed us with his wonderful music and lyics. He was never convicted dirty girl so hold your mouth because there is a thing called innocent till proven guilty and that is it right there!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935762109501967205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-18751031806071453102009-06-28T22:56:00.539-04:002009-06-28T22:56:00.539-04:00Michael also filmed his Bad video at that same Hoy...Michael also filmed his Bad video at that same Hoyt station.genanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-36348937663945646612009-06-28T07:45:56.746-04:002009-06-28T07:45:56.746-04:00okay, as a tour of old NY, the wiz has something t...okay, as a tour of old NY, the wiz has something to it, but otherwise? not so much<br /><br />and MJ - people are throwing themselves on the pyre like he was JFK or John Lennon. He was an entertainer. Not a peace maker or a saint. He was a pedophile and a threat to his own children's emotional stablity. Has everyone forgotten the dangling the baby off the balcony incident.<br /><br />I'm not happy he's dead, but really, more than a few someone's gotta die every day. When it's your turn it's your turn. Let's save our grieving for someone who really had an effect on the world. Mother Teresa mayhaps? Or even a gentle soul like Mr. Rogers....dirtygirlhttp://thedirtygirldiaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-62695411670945876572009-06-26T22:49:36.521-04:002009-06-26T22:49:36.521-04:00Despite Dorothy being said to live in Harlem and h...Despite Dorothy being said to live in Harlem and having never been south of 125th St, when she first lands in Oz, she asks, "But where's my home? Where's Aunt Em? Where's New York?", then "433 Prospect Place". An address in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
