But I definitely think it's worth seeing.

Franco's awkward smiling annoyed me too, I think it was his failed attempt at being funny.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-18633337174304974692013-03-24T20:48:04.150-07:002013-03-24T20:48:04.150-07:00I agree, Ruth -- visually, it is definitely a trea...I agree, Ruth -- visually, it is definitely a treat. :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-28273732493404594892013-03-24T19:17:48.915-07:002013-03-24T19:17:48.915-07:00THANKS so much for the link love.

But I did like the way the style was a tribute to the original, and this movie was good fun. It helped that I kept my expectations modest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-39001976422253676522013-03-24T01:40:50.034-07:002013-03-24T01:40:50.034-07:00"y'know, if we jiggled the rabbit ears ju..."y'know, if we jiggled the rabbit ears just right" That made me laugh :)<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed OZ, I haven't dared go and see it, I'm afraid would tarnish my love of the 1939 film. I don't care much for prequels, that's why I'm hesitant. Was the music good? The tunes from the original are a tough act to follow!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
