"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was warned, but how could that be a Disney movie?

They were rather adrift in the seventies, and like a lot of studios were willing to let adventurous young creative types come in and make interesting movies. The Disney brand was at an all time low at that period - barely even a studio.

Hard to believe now, but they were down to live action Love Bug sequels and The Great Mouse Detective.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I remember LOVING Return to Oz and also being utterly terrified by it. That room full of heads? It's been at least 20 years and that image it still utterly vivid. Never did read the Oz books so I fear the Ozma costume might have missed me also in spite of my fearsome literacy.

It's super freaky! And the Wheelers! And Dorothy threatened with electrosock therapy!

Our wings are not tired.

Return to Oz was 1985.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The heads were freaky. And the electroshock.

Screaming heads. ::shudder::

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

If you can't survive more than 3 days without shelter, why aren't the homeless people dead?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I think the 'shelter' thing refers specifically to Cold weather, where hypothermia gets to be a serious concern very quickly.

Because books.

Ugh. The universe giveth and the universe taketh away. Stephen just got laid off. Which isn't a surprise, since the paper declared bankruptcy and probably won't exist in a few more months, but still.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
