Dark Side of Oz

25 Various Styles of The Wizard of Oz Illustrations The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical-fantasy film mainly directed by Victor Fleming and based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. In the film, Dorothy, a schoolgirl living in Kansas, is struck unconsicious during a tornado. She dreams about how she and her dog Toto, with the help of a Scarecrow, a Tin man and a Cowardly Lion, find their way home from the magical world of Oz. Many people like these four characters very much: sweet Dorothy, smart Scarecrow, brave Tin man and sensetive Lion.

Room 237: Why "The Shining" Continues to Shine Room 237 Directed by Rodney Ascher Where was room 237, and why would you want to avoid it? But you want to know about room 237. And room 237 is only the start of trouble at the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Some might say that the mystery begins and ends with the question of why this shameless mock-horror film should be taken seriously. Was this the regrettable start of Nicholson’s acting with his eyebrows? That only opens up the question as to what Kubrick had done. That’s the mood in which one may catch the sinister serenity of The Shining. Warner Bros. Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance and Philip Stone as Delbert Grady Later on in a superb men’s room, which is all red, white, and black, he meets Delbert Grady, who thinks he’s the caretaker. Then there is the Overlook itself, a grand resort hotel in the Colorado Rockies built in a 1920s style.

Back to Back to the Future: A Tale of Two Martys Most of you know of my Bill Murray fetish (sadomurrochism), but you may not know about my Back to the Future obsession. I spend way too much time thinking about Back to the Future paradoxes and working on my BTTF fan fiction (about the misadventures of Einstein the dog and the pine tree Marty ran over). I think about Back to the Future the way sane people think about their children or politics or sports. I spend most of my time staring off into sunsets with visions of DeLoreans and Sports Almanacs dancing though my head. But, anyway, before we get into too much, here's what you should know… The Basics: Time Travel 101 There are basically two types of time travel: static time travel and fluid time travel. Temporal Anomalies: Marty A and Marty B What I want to talk about though is the end of the first film. Follow up: See, there are two Martys. Marty on Marty Action Marty A went back in time, changed a bunch of events, but didn’t go back to his future; he went back to someone else’s future.
