Not knowing what to watch when my dad handed me the remote, I chose to put on The Wizard of Oz playing on AMC which I haven't really sat down and watched since I was much younger. I know my hero #DavidLynch was a huge fan of this movie and frequently included references to it in his works, especially Wild at Heart which is deeply connected.

Currently re-watching on #AMC +on #Comcast) the original #WizardOfOz (1939) starring #JudyGarland, which was released 86 yrs ago, for the umpteeth time, which (for me) never gets old & ii's still far better IMO than all of the late variations, including but not limited to #TheWiz & #Wicked 1& 2.
🧙♂️ I rewrote the wizard Glasstaff as a Ribbet for my “Lost Mine of Phandelver” #Daggerheart #TTRPG campaign. How does such a little guy run a gang of bandits? With a bit of #WizardOfOz showmanship, of course. But the party still managed to capture him alive and turn him over to the Lord’s Alliance.
Apparently the #WizardOfOz puts out a #wicked parking policy!

@analgesicsleep the American one gives off strong #WizardOfOz vibes I feel like
“‘No good deed goes unpunished,'” writes Erick DuPree after seeing the new film Wicked: For Good. “The song had always been powerful, but in Erivo’s hands it felt like something older than Oz, older than Broadway, older even than the myth itself.”

Just happen to be watching the original #WizardOfOz (Judy Garland, 1939) which currently is being broadcast on the #AMC channel on #Comcast.
Have watched it many times before & have it on #DVD.
Nice to see it again after watching #Wicked2 at the theater recently to see the contrast in the 2 films.
Gays and Oz: Why There's No Place Like Homo
-
Matt Baum asks the question "Why gay like Oz?" He looks into the history of the story from books, to film, to tv, to book, to stage, to film. And the friends of Dorothy that made each come to life. And the queers it gave life to.

Incidentally, when it comes to which actor played the part(s): in the plays, there are all sorts of wild things.
When #AlanAyckbourn directed one of the plays in 1968, Nigel Forde played both the Guardian of the Gate and Uncle Henry. The Wizard was a different actor.
http://careers.alanayckbourn.net/page4/page88/
In the NPR+L.A. Children's Museum centennial audio dramatization, John Goodman played (only) the Guardian of the Gates. Harry Anderson was the Wizard. (And #MichelleTrachtenberg was Dorothy.)
It is difficult to include John Goodman and Munchkin-sized in the same sentence without some form of negative. (-:

One could perform Elizabeth Fuller Chapman's 1928 play with the Guardian of the Gates and the Wizard as the same person, although there is one point in act 3 where it is implied that they are on stage together.

Mostly, no. In some adaptations, such as The Wiz, and in some of the novels, it's either multiple guardians of the gate or identifiably another named character (e.g. Faramant).
In the first Baum book, the Guardian of the Gates has xyr own living quarters away from the wizard's palace, which they have to go back to in order to set off to the Wicked Witch of the West, and doesn't have the appearance of the wizard, being described as Munchkin-sized.

Years ago we daydreamed a fantastical commedia dell'arte scenario where young Dorotea faced trouble at home from the machinations of her clueless father Dottore Gratiano to the unwanted attention of miser Panalone to the greedy vengeance of black widow Vittoria. But when Dorotea flees her home as a tornadic storm hits Venice she becomes lost and dreams of a fantastical pastorale island where everyone looks like someone she knows (with a twist) including an enchantress most WICKED and a not-so-WONDERFUL Meraviglioso Mago di Gozo!
Just thought we'd share this weekend for some reason...
