The Merry Old Land of Oz

I'm adding this picture taken from our May trip to Los Angeles.



This is in honour of film in general. It's here today because I'm watching the extra audio track for the Wizard of Oz (1939). There's some absolutely amazing trivia on the 2005 DVD.

I have a new problem, however, as it's now a bit hard to accept the plot after seeing Wicked.
