    I always thought the Witch’s soldiers were singing:

    OR-E-O’S
    We LUVVVVVVV THEM.

      No wonder white people can’t dance, you don’t hear the melodic tones.

      In the Wizard Of Oz the witch’s soldiers were singing:

      Orioles-theyyyyy- suck

      Clearly talking about the Baltimore Orioles because they do suck. On many occasion Steve Geppi has tried to buy the rights to the film but fortunately it’s owned by a Yankee fan.

    I have never liked the film – i got inoculated against it with the book before i ever saw it on TV.

    I can’t imagine paying the IMAX premium to see it.

    OTOH, i might go for the first time to the IMAX at the Mall of Georgia this coming weekend for Gravity
