It’s pretty good, Dorthy return’s to Oz only yo see it in ruins, it’s more dark.

#22

When did they release that?

#23

The 80s, I think 84.

#24

I might check it out.

#25

Cool, it might be on Youtube.

#26

Hey, what about the Wiz? It’s way more interesting than that. 8D

#27

Lol, is that supposed to be a modern version or something.

#28

Actually, it’s an African American version. With Michael Jackson in it, of all people. 8D

#29

OMG, I’ve never heard of it before!! 8D Okay, now I have to see it.

#30

I hope you mean The Wiz. 8D It’s not very main stream. The Wizard of Oz, however, is one of the biggest movies of all time. 8D But I still don’t love it.

#31

I know about the Wiz, in fact, a lot of my friends performed in the musical at a community theatre.

#32

Does he moonwalk on the yellow brick road?

#33

Probably. I still haven’t sen the whole movie. It’s never on it seems!

#34

Oh.

#35

I’ve seen it. The characters, aside from being african american, look different from their original counterparts.

#36

Then there’s always the factor of Judy Garland being 17 when playing Dorothy, while Diana Ross was clearly in her 30’s. :unamused:

#37

BUt they both portrayed a young Dorthy well, right? I believe so.

#38

Portrayal is irrelevant to what I’m saying. I just find it mildly amusing that Diana was twice as old as Garland. I still have to finish The Wiz…

#39

You should finish it. its a good movie.

#40

Oh yes, of course I was referring to The Wiz. :laughing: I like The Wizard of Oz, but it is a tad overblown, so I understand your dislike of it.
