Quote of the Day

From Bad Movie Report's review of "Wizard of Oz," a 1925 silent starring Larry Semon and Dorothy Dwan:

"There are some plot points, though. Dorothy was left on Em and Henry's doorstep when but a baby, with a note saying an attached, sealed letter should not be opened until her 18th birthday. Kruel, it turns out, is the one who abducted the princess – Dorothy - and placed her on the doorstep. As far as Evil Plans go, this ranks somewhere slightly above giving James Bond a book entitled How To Foil My Evil Plans For World Domination For Dummies and then strenuously hoping he doesn't read it. But only slightly."

(Oh, how about one more. I need to see this movie.)

"Did I mention the dungeon seems to be run by pirates? Yeah, I thought that was strange, too. Maybe Oz is landlocked and they just couldn't find any other employment. Though it must be said that they seem to be having a grand time of it. I guess it's just in their nature to try and find some enjoyment in whatever they do. I envy people like that."


I went to begin my Dominic Keating mini-marathon, and the VCR player wouldn't accept my tape of The Immortal. Spat it right back out at me. It'll let me watch Psi-Factor, it'll let me watch First Wave... but The Immortal? That's going just a bit too far.

"Baked beans are off..."

I could swear I've taken this before (nicked from cruisedirector this time). I vaguely remember getting Andy McNab and thinking "What the hell?" I must have been feeling violent and tortured that day. Since it's so obvious where each option comes from, it's kind of fun to pick answers randomly to see who carries the day, like, what will two Boromirs, one Mellors, one Sean Miller, one Partridge and two Alec Trevelyans equal? Oh. Um. Mmm. There's a thought...

What kind of Bean addict are you?
