Wizard Of Oz

There was a collective, global sigh yesterday, when it appeared that hell had indeed frozen over and the inevitable had happened. Hollywood was remaking what cannot be remade.

Who would want to step into Dorothy's shoes?

If you hadn’t noticed, they’ve been working up to it for a while.

    Larry, now that was an interesting read!  Makes since when you think about it, as the “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” can fix anything, whether it’s the brain’s behind farming, or the heart of industry, or even a trip home, all it takes (took) is a bit of courage to get… Read more »
