by Jodi



Have you seen the trailer for Oz The Great and Powerful?  Looks like great fun!!  The Wizard of Oz is still one of my all-time favorite movies, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out!

It is in the single digits here in Mich bur-r-r-r . Would love to blame Hodi lol, but I know it is all coming from my Canadian friends!

I have an eye Dr Appointment this afternoon so I am up an at'em this morning.
It's an hr drive to East Lansing and hoping the snow holds off until I get home...Later

Morning Glories!

Mary you are lovely at first! It is double digits here but still freaking cold!

Jodi I have not seen the trailer for this but I have to say I am not thrilled it seems like they have run out of ideas in Hollywood and they remake everything to death. imho.

JODI: I love The Wizard Of Oz too..and was excited to hear about this movie. Then I saw a much shorter trailer than this one..and I wasn't so sure. Now that I've seen this longer trailer..I'm getting interested in the movie again. I think it could be pretty cool! I really like James Franco..so that's a big plus. There is one thing I'm kinda worried about..the Wicked Witch in the original movie still scares the bejeebers out of me..so I know this Wicked Witch is going to really freak me out! I wonder if I should take my 'fringe towel' to the theater? ;D

MARY: Good Morning! You look absolutely stunning today! Fingers crossed that you get to and from the doctor without snow! It's going to be 82 here today..I wish I could send you some of that warm air!!

Have a good day everyone! :)

Hi LYNN! I take so long to compose and type my comments..you snuck right in there! :)

Mary You are the most beautiful moaner this morning. I hope the snow stayed away for you and that you have easy travels to and from your appointment today. Looks like it's about 62 here and rain is on the way.

Just_Lin said...

HOdi I think the movie looks like great fun and the special effects look really neat. Thank you for the blog today.

Just_Lin said...

LynnD I am with you on the remake thing but it looks like this is a different story altogether from the original.

Mary/MI said...

I wonder what is the appropriate time to wait at the Drs office? So far its been 25 min.i have waited 3 hrs here before! Its my eye specialist for my glaucoma....*tapping foot*

Dianne/Denver said...

Afternoon owls. .....how ya'all doing today? That's my Southern voice in case you were wondering.

Mary, you are blinding beauty at first today. Your hair even looks all pretty. Now, I don't think I'd wait three hours at a dr office. I usually have to wait an hour at my primary and that's long to me. How long did you end up waiting?

Thanks for the blog, Jodi. I don't know if I want to see this or not. You know how I am about the original one. It was hard enough for me to see Wicked!!

Zona, not to be mean but I think it would look a little strange taking your special Bronco towel to the movies...just saying but to each their own.

JL, it was supposed to be 70 here today and it made it to 52. I think those forecasters were really wrong today.

Lynn, I kind of dont love the remake of movies either. I'm still telling all of you to go and see Parental Guidance and Guilt Trip....so dang funny.

Met my friend for some Italian food for lunch and it was yummy. Anyone watching American Idol this year? I'm not nuts about the judges at all and last week everyone was screaming at each other. I thin I've gotten too old for it anymore.



Mary/MI said...

Just so you don't think I am still waiting..... here I am! LOL!! It wasn't too bad 1 1/2 hrs in there.I did run into some snow coming home, but not too bad.

About the movie trailer... I loved the special effects, but it started to get a little gory for me. I am a wimp! Not much on horror movies either!

Dianne I watched AI for a little while last week and just a few minutes tonight. I just can't get into it for some reason.



Jodi said...

MARY - Waving a wing at you!! My aren't you stunning at first! Hoping you didn't run into snow on your drive today. It's been snowing on and off all day here. But just that light whispy stuff.

Jodi said...

LYNN - So it would seem, but I'm looking forward to a new chapter or spin on this classic!!

Jodi said...

ZONA - The scariest part of the original was when Dorothy is looking into the Crystal Ball in the Witch's castle and the Witch shows up mocking her "Auntie Em, Auntie Em...."!! Scared the bejesus outta me when I was a kid!! Fringe towel, indeed!!

Jodi said...

SLIN - You're welcome!

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I'm reading Wicked right now, and would love to see the musical!! We took the boys to Maria's Pizza for supper tonight. I was having a hankering for their spaghetti. Got a half an order and could only eat half of that!! But the meatballs are to die for! I haven't watched American Idol in at least a couple of seasons. Sorry...

Jodi said...

MARY - Glad you got home safely!

Jodi said...

Thanks for the comments today!

Heading to bed to read for a bit before going to sleep....GOOD NIGHT HOooters ♥

Mary/MI said...

Jodi, I saw Wicked when it played on stage in Lansing. I loved it.
We are getting a lot of snow tonight. Of course, since I have to drive into Lansing again tomorrow!

Zona said...

JODI: That's the part that always freaks me out too..and after all these years!! I got a book from my sister for Christmas a year ago that contained Wicked..Son Of A Witch..A Lion Among Men and Out of Oz..all written by Gregory Maguire. I finished it last Spring..really liked it. :)

DI: I think you forgot to send me that Broncos fringe towel! Do you have one? ;)

MARY: I hope your appt went well and you didn't have to wait too much longer. Safe travels tomorrow!

Jodi said...

MARY - Hoping the snow isn't too bad tomorrow!!

Jodi said...

ZONA - I have Son of a Witch and A Lion Among Men waiting in the wings for when I get back from our trip. My cousin gave me the books to read last October and I'm only now really getting into Wicked. She actually had me read The Wizard of Oz first! I'll have to get her Out of Oz as a thank you for lending me her books ♥
