This year marks the 70 anniversary of one of the greatest movies of all time, The Wizard of Oz. The DVD will be coming out on September 29. The movie will be re-mastered and there is apparently going to be 13 hours of bonus features. Holy hell I am so excited!!! 
Anyway, the movie was in select theatres last night in HD. I am so sad that I had to miss it, but wow. Have you ever seen that movie in theatres? It is incredible. I saw it projected on the wall of IKEA one summer and that was incredible and then last year they showed it at the Arc Light for whatever reason and it was just….wow. No words. I love this movie. It would have been great to see in HD.
The Wizard of Oz has sparked amazing books and the amazing musical, Wicked. It made Judy Garland an icon. She was in her early teens when she became a house hold name. This movie also helped Pink Floyd drug out. I don’t see the appeal in that one, but to each his own I suppose. The album matches up in some parts, but for the most part I was bored with it. I just want to hear Judy sing.
I am so excited to know that after 70 years, this movie is still recognized and referenced often. The movie wasn’t that big of a hit when it first came out because it was right when color TV’s were emerging, but this movie will live on forever and for that I am truly happy.Oh and apparently you can learn Spanish while you watch too.
