Oh great, I'd forgotten about the god-damned winged monkeys....ever notice how many things in "The Wizard Of Oz" resemble things in "The Lord Of The Rings"? Both have got little people living in a flower strewn land. One has Winkies; the other has Orcs. Both have talking trees with bad tempers. One has a good witch and a bad witch; the other has a good wizard and a bad wizard. Both have evil armies marching out of haunted castles at night as people watch them from cliffs above the castles. In one somebody gets a horrible surprise while staring into a crystal ball; in the other the same happens when somebody stares into a Palantir. One has winged monkeys, the other has winged Nazgul. One has The Emerald City, the other has The White City. One has a disembodied head that speaks while surrounded by blasts of fire, the other has a disembodied eye that does the same. In one of them a little dog accompanies the heroine to a far land, in the other one a little son-of-a-bitch tags along with the heroes.... Pat |

OM IIRC the Scarecrow catches fire and Dorothy throws a bucket of water on him, accidentally soaking the witch in the process. The witch has the same vulnerability of the aliens in Shyamalan's _Signs_ and starts dissolving. As she melts into the ground she squawks "Water World! Water World!". -- Hop David http://clowder.net/hop/index.html |

I think that the best description of WOZ was the one in the TV listings of a Bay Area (I think) newspaper and was something like: Transported to a surrealistic landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets, and then teams up with three others to kill again. |
