The Wizard of the Wtf?


I met another child today that had never seen The Wizard of Oz.

Really, people? Really? That makes him the third gay I know that has never seen that movie. Between Judy Garland and the oddly homosexual tin-man, I'm surprised at you people.

I think it says something about our generation when we know more lines/songs from Wicked (which I have seen) than this 1939 classic. Get it straight, kids: sometimes gay-culture > pop culture.

Go out, right now, and rent/buy/worship this movie.

Seriously... why the fuck are you still reading this post. Get off your asses and go to the video store. *face-to-desk*





Random bit of trivia: For those good-gays that have seen it already and don't need to go buy a copy of the movie, did you know that the horses in Emerald City palace were painted with Jell-O powder? They had to shoot the scenes quickly before the color got licked off.

Other bits of trivia: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was almost cut from the movie, even though it's an unofficial gay national anthem today. And the dog, Toto, was paid nearly twice as much as the munchkin actors.

More here: Read and be enriched.
