I always enjoy that surreal film. They should have never messed with it though. How awful was ‘The Wiz’? 😦
Best wishes, Pete.

  Yeah. I never was a big fan of The Wiz even with Diana Ross.

Always enjoyed that movie. Did you try Google’s neat little thing they set up to honor it? Google “Wizard of Oz” and click on the ruby slippers, watch what happens, and then click on the tornado. It’s still working this morning.

I have a massive blu-ray box set with all sorts of special documentaries and a book on the trivia surrounding the film..a magical cinematic trip 80 years on!

Tell me, are British newspapers winding me up or is it true Trump wants to nuke hurricanes?

  Oh God. Yes (although he denies it) he has mentioned it numerous times in front of multiple witnesses.🤦🏻‍♀️ To be fair, he’s not the first to bring this up. The idea was explored by scientists after WWII, but the many drawbacks including radioactive fallout made them drop this in the 1960s. But Mr. Trump won’t let logic and rational thinking get in his way! Thankfully there’s things like the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty which was signed by the U.S. and Russia back in 1976.

I was terrified of this movie as a child so I disliked watching it as an adult 😖
But 80 years wow!

Love this movie. It says something when you can watch a movie multiple times and never get tired of it.
