We are watching it this evening, we saw Munchkin land 2 weeks ago and we are finishing the movie this eve. I cannot watch this movie except with tears in my eyes, it is so wonderful.. But, i do have some comments, it seems only the scarecrow is straight – the cowardly lion owns the fact that he is a sissy and the tin man is too swishy for me! I told my son the real hero of the movie is Toto. And can you believe the poor wicked witch of the west only ever got a coffee commercial after this?
Now, having read Wicked, the book, I have to say I see Dorothy as a murderess, the book had a profound effect on me and I realize that the movie is only Dorothy’s side of the story and there are always 2 sides. I am thankful to Gregory Maguire for pointing out the other side. Oh, and I am thrilled that he is a gay dad and went to my college Alma mater as well! I can only watch the movie because Judy Garland is wonderful (note I did not say fabulous, we do not love her the way the other gays do!).
They had a lazy day today and I had a lazy afternoon, I even napped! I did spend the morning wheeling and dealing and returning and scamming, it’s what I do best!
