The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie. I can imitate the Wicked Witch, Dorothy, and Glinda, and can quote dialog from memory. You should see my sister-in-law Donna and me when we really get going!
So it's only natural that I'd be excited about the reissue of the movie in Blu-ray. It comes out tomorrow in a couple of different formats..remastered DVD, Blu-ray, and the Ultimate Collectors Edition which includes the Blu-ray and a whole bunch of other stuff, including a coffee table book, and a collectible 70th anniversary watch.
As I leafed through the flyers in the paper yesterday, I noticed that Target was offering an exclusive Blu-ray (without all the bells and whistles) for around 34 bucks, but Best Buy had a collectors box in the $50 range.
I'm a little muddled about which of the versions I'm going to buy (do I need the Wizard of Oz watch?), but must admit I've got a pretty bad case of Oz fever right now.
Can't wait 'til tomorrow? Check out this video preview!
OMG, I can't believe you mentioned me in your blog but you didn't tell anyone that I am better than you are at the dialog (just kidding, we are both really good at that). Remember how we would get going and your brother wanted to knock our head together to make us stop, we did tend to go on and on. We don't have a blue ray yet but will get one evenutally once the price goes down a little and Tim belongs to a couple of movie clubs so we can get movies for a lot cheaper than buying them at a store. I would like the coffe table book, that would just be cool and since I have so much of the movie memoribilia around the house, that would just make everything right. I just had to tell you that you made my day, thanks! DBD
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
