Remember, back in 96, when you heard Matchbox 20 for the first time? How about the first time you watched Modest Mouse perform 'Float On' (which, for me, must have been 04 or 05)? Well, this is just like that...this video hits me in the tender bits...this song is fantastic.
Return to Oz - (☆☆☆☆) film review
I never saw this 1985 film until now. People mentioned it, but never recommended it. In the mid-90s, after watching The Craft, someone told me Fairuza Balk played Dorothy in Return to Oz, and when I said I hadn't seen it they replied, 'you didn't miss anything.' So I let it slip through the cracks.
Shame on me for trusting them. Shame on them for being a shitty film umpire.
It has 80s-quality special effects (greenscreen bleeding, poor claymation, and clumsy puppeteering) which needs to be overlooked with today's CGI-pampered eyes, but its script, acting, editing, and story are tight. If you continue to not see this humorous, non-musical, dark fantasy and - instead - pay to see anything currently running at your local movieplex...you are throwing away your money.
New Phone
No longer do I have: a contract, minutes, overages, or any surcharges. I regained control by replacing all of the above with a throw-away phone.
I now pay $2-a-day (on the occasional day I use it to communicate) and $0 every other day (when it's a pocket watch / camera / 911-service). My monthly costs should fall between $6 and $12...about $100 a year.
It's topped-up with a few bucks when the tank gets low, turned on only when needed, I group my just-want-to-chat calls into a pile, and still have it when I might need to shout 'marco' and listen for 'polo' because we got separated in the crowd.

I am extremely pleased with this outcome. The added detail of 600dpi is fantastic.
Thank you GTC for beginning such a great theme (which I built upon, relying on what I assumed—correctly—were rifle cartridges on the right and the word NECRO). Angeleyes, your ability to wonderfully enhance the theme based on two vague hints (CRO letters and an old wrist) is superb. Which brings us to quackling...who's hint slice—thanks to angeleyes—was amazingly complex (license plates, gears, signs, letters...oh my!) yet quack created a stupendous closing composition which contains humor, frivolity, and continues the subtext. I love it.
