There's No Place Like Home

Can't remember when I last saw this 1939 MGM movie. The first film ever shown in color! Thought of checking it out once more this weekend.

The first 18 minoots were done in sepia tone (the way movies were presented back then). The twister effect was plain silly. The Oz plants look plastic.

I forgot about the Wicked Witch of the East (WWE). Sadly, we didn't see the tag team of the two Wicked Bitches. That would be fun! Imagine them ganging up on Dorothy ;oP

Glinda was the witch from the North. But where's the South witch?

Hmmm... let's talk about the munchkins. Those sinister-lookin' bunch. The one that came out of a manhole looks like a younger version of Conan O'Brien. Why do they all sound like chipmunk-y? I can't wait to meet a munchkin with a deep baritone voice. He'd be cool.

I saw a lollypop munchkin giving our heroine a big lolly. If Kuya Germs were one of the munchkins, he'd give Dorothy the following: Birch Tree, VCDs from MagnaVision, Hapee toothpaste, Doc's candles, Tupuro water purifier, etc.

The ruby slippers originally came from the WWE. Do the shoes fit all?

The exit of the WWW revealed the trapdoor. She can only disappear on that specific spot. Teehee. Listen very closely, one of the munchkin uttered, "oh my god".

The cornstraw that the crow picked from the Scarecrow's chest magically appeared after he fell down.

The Tin Man should be the toughest lookin' character and yet, he acts sooo gay. Teehee. Plus, he did the Michael Jackson move in "Smooth Criminal".

The cowardly Lion was just adorable.

It's funny that before the color of the horse changes, they need to change the camera focus and get it out of the view. In Hollywood now, it would be sooooo easy.

Didn't like the makeover of the lion. Wassup with the ribbon on the head?! Where's the Fab 5 when you need 'em?

When the lion sang his "If I Were King of the Foreeeeesssst", he sounded like Earl. Teehee.

The broken crown moved from its place. Before Dorothy cried, it was behind the 4. After her teary speech, it was now seen a few feet away.

The red smoke and the fire effects were used twice: as an entrance/exit for WWW and in the Wizard's den.

It would've been more fun if Simon Cowell got the part of the Wizard.

Who would've thought that Toto could mountain climb?
