It's so buried into most of Western culture that it's difficult to not know what's what if you don't see it as a kid for the first time.<br /><br />The "communist" comment comes from when I was dating my wife. She had never seen it, either. Or a lot of other kid staples. Or swum in a lake. Or been on a roller coaster. So I called her a communist because it was like she had just moved to this country.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-5488969908840654142012-07-28T15:14:12.590-05:002012-07-28T15:14:12.590-05:00Okay, I am communist and a vampire and probably a ...Okay, I am communist and a vampire and probably a lot of other nasty things. I never saw Oz before now. Call it a protest or prejudice, but what is an old musical to a dude? But that is the thing isn't it? You do not even have to see it to be intimately familier with it. It had such a huge cultural impact.<br />You got a point with the dog. Maybe Toto was better off staying in Oz.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-25980024521277743152011-04-21T01:23:57.567-05:002011-04-21T01:23:57.567-05:00I was apparently a communist for quite a long time...I was apparently a communist for quite a long time, but not any more – I promise ;-)nicolas krizanhttp://1001movies.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-61112327827424198392011-04-20T14:54:32.932-05:002011-04-20T14:54:32.932-05:00Yes, that.

There's so much nostalgia here, so much childhood memory, that it fits like a comfortable old shirt.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-41002041837696663292011-04-20T13:08:45.679-05:002011-04-20T13:08:45.679-05:00When I watched this again last year (for the first...When I watched this again last year (for the first time in seveal years) all I could think of was just how very good it was.
