I may see Chronicle.
I hope you do! My favorite, Duck Soup, is on youtube. My only problem with that movie is that Chico doesn’t have a piano solo, and Harpo doesn’t have a harp solo.
I hope you do sometime!
Virginia: Yeah, I didn’t like Grease at all. And I like Wizard of Oz, but I don’t think it’s as good as everyone makes it out to be.
I didn’t like Tim Burton’s Alice like most people. I liked the Danny Elfman score and the cinematography and that was quite literally about it. Pointless characters, was basically a mishmash mess of the original books, and had no heart to it.
When I first saw it, I disliked the film so much that I even disregarded the Elfman score.
Later on, without the film tarnishing it, it has become a favorite Elfman of mine.
Mhm, I think it’s awesome.
I didn’t like Burton’s Alice, either. I haven’t been blowed over by one of his films in a while, unfortunately. My favorites of his are still Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice.
I’m a little sad that people think The WIzard of Oz is overrated. It’s one of my favorite films! Don’t care about Grease so much; really, I just like that movie for the ridiculously catchy tunes.
Oz is a great film, but I join those who think it overrated.
Neveeeer. Too many good songs and a classic story as well! In terms of artsiness, I don’t think it’s on par with a film like Citizen Kane or anything, but it’s just the perfect feel-good movie in my eyes. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it.
I think most of its high points are technical, and also on the Production Design department.
I totally agree with that. Which is exactly why I call it overrated. A lot of people put it “on par with a film like Citizen Kane”.
I think it’s pretty good, but I have my problems with its story and some of the acting.
I do like the songs, and the story. It is a good film, I’m not denying that. Maybe I’d like it better of Shirley Temple was cast in it. Even when I was a little girl I thought Garland was too old for the part.
That casting decision also bothers me.
Garland is too old, and looks silly as Dorothy.
What movie are you talking about?
I think SOA was referring to The Wizard of Oz if I’m not mistaken.
Yeah, I think just about anything you can say is wrong with Grease. I respect that you guys love WoW, but I really don’t. I didn’t like it even when I was little, and I doubt I ever will.
I absolutely agree.
Love is stretching it ,I don’t love WoO. And I’m not trying to make you like it either.
Does anyone think Dorathy looks younger in Return to Oz?
I probably shouldn’t have said you guys.
I think QoP(I might be wrong) said she loved it, and yeah… I should just stop thinking out loud.
I don’t even know what I meant at the time.
Does anyone think Dorathy looks younger in Return to Oz?
That’s because Return to Oz isn’t a sequel to the Garland film.
I think the film would probably have a stronger emotional impact on me with a strong, young female lead, but otherwise I find Garland charming in this film and I absolutely adore her singing voice.
It sounds stupid, but a think that makes me uncomfortable is that she’s practically bursting out of her little girl clothes. Definitively too old for the part.
I’ve never been too much of a Garland fan in general. Probably because there’s something about her that looks weird to my eyes. Tough, to be frank, she isn’t half as weird as her daughter Liza Minelli ![]()
