Is it wrong that I am getting ready to watch The Wizard of Oz on TCM?

Just finished preparing "Easy Street." It's going to be so fun! At least I hope so.

Of course it is DD, Darling - you're good at what you do!

thanks DG.

The challenge comes in not knowing whether they can actually do what I want them to.

This theater doesn't hold a dance call. Don't ask.

"This theater doesn't hold a dance call."
That sounds like a place I'll hitting up in the future for theater jobs.

Okay - so Dorothy just opened the door "in color" to Oz, and I am still, at forty something, enthralled with this film. I can't for the life of me get over how incredible the film is considering it was made in 1939. Can you imagine what it was like to be viewing it in a theater in 1939? I am blown away by the thought of innocence of that year - and the impending war - and all. I guess that's one of the reasons July fourth is a tradition for TMC to screen the film. I had NO idea.

No, I can't imagine it. We have all watched it on TV since before we can remember - is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[cheezedoodle]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 8:32pm

I don't think it's either good or bad - I just feel it's one of those things that because we view it so often we may take it for granted. There was a documentary on just before it - and that's when I realized that it was released a few months before WWII broke out. Maybe I am just having one of those moments. AND NO - I have not been drinking. lol.

hee!

I miss you, gorgeous.

Posted: 7/3/06 at 8:38pm

I miss you sweetie. Have a great night, and a wonderful fourth. I love the avatar!

And DD - don't wear out your cha cha heels too fast! I can't believe you guys are still casting after three weeks of rehersal - we must trade combat stories of community theater someday. I bet we have some that match up quite beautifully!

DG gets the credit for the av - he posted it in another thread and I grabbed it!

rath, what was it like seeing the wizard of oz in theatres?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:22pm

I don't really remember. I was hard of hearing by then anyway.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:22pm

Cheeze... we MUST!!! I do have some stories to share...

[RobbO]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:23pm

i figured you would just sit closer to the screen, rath.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:23pm

My grandchildren preferred sitting toward the back.

it's nice that the grandkids came back from college to see the film with you.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:28pm

That's why I agreed to sit wherever they wanted.

[RobbO]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:31pm

that's why you are one of their two favorite grandmama's.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/3/06 at 9:34pm

I'm the favorite living one.
