I don’t know what brought about this, but I was thinking today. My favorite Frank Oz movie has to be “Return to Oz”. It’s so underrated and so well done. I actually prefer it over “Wizard of Oz”. I wonder what happened to the little girl who played Dorothy? I guess time to IMDB.
Also, I’m watching TV Land, and there’s Kenny [from the Cosby Show]! I had NO CLUE that Kenny was the same dude on The West Wing who played Charlie. Damn he was good in that! And now he’s in a USA comedy called Psych. I ran into that show while watching one of my favorite shows, Monk [I LOVE TONY Shaloub]. I was also watching Men In Black II last night, and didn’t realize Tony Shaloub was an alien with buckteeth in that movie [go figure].
Lastly, I watched “Sicko”, the new Michael Moore movie the other night. One of the advantages of living in New York — seeing movies before the rest of the world. I had to take a train to Springfield, MA [the hotel room I am in now], so I watched the earliest movie I have ever seen in a theater — a 10am showing. But it was also only 6 bucks. And interestingly enough, my friend Angela and I were the youngest people in that theater.
I have to say, it is my favorite Michael Moore movie to date. I don’t find it as politically polarized as his other flicks but it did make me want to move to another country. But further more, it kind of made me felt helpless….like, what the hell can I do??
Of course I wept. Just knowing that Insurance Companies denied people known TREATMENT to save their companies millions of dollars…what the hell has the world come to?
What can I do? What can we all do??
EDIT: So I lied, Frank Oz didn’t do Return to Oz. I wonder why I thought that! Crazy. And the little girl who played Dorothy? None other than Fairuza Balk! Like Woah!
