The Greatest Movie Villain of all Time

[Daniel.]

Was this inspired by something you read?

It's wonderful.

[Mik]

No, I just found it, but isn't it great? We're considering seeing Wizard of Oz at the Sphere at Christmas this year. This puts a whole new spin on it.

Would that be the Ariana Grande version?
The first or second movie?
(In any case, I like the first one, and plan to see the second one whenever it comes out.)

You know, by those standards, Gandalf was a bit of a baddie too!

My wife (at least) will be out in Vegas between Christmas and New Year's for the birth of a grandkid. She (or we) might pop in to the sphere as well to take a gander at what they have done with Oz.

Mightg be fun to go together if that's possible. The Sphere is pretty cool.

No, you're thinking of Wicked. This is the original movie.

I liked the first Wicked movie too, although I thought they really did very little of any significance with all the possibilities of cinema that was not done with the limitations of the stage version. It didn't tell the story any better or improve the musical numbers.

I will let you know what our plans are when I know them. My wife may be the only one who goes out for the birth because we don't want to impose on them while they are already very stressed. She plans to stay out there and help out for a few weeks afterward. I would not be staying in any event. Work calls back in Virginia.

If we're all out there at the same time we should indeed get together for something. Sphere, dinner, something.

We went to the Darren Aronovsky video that inaugurated the Sphere. Pretty impressive, even if I thought that narrative of the film was preachy preachy and shallow.

MadTV did an alternative ending for The Wizard of Oz years ago... a classic.

Yeah, that film descended into preachiness when it could have been the coolest sci-fi ever. But the Sphere is cool. My daughter's company did a lot of the exhibits in the lobby.

We have a domed theater like that here in the Museum Center, formerly Union Terminal, but about a tenth the size.
