I once shot camera footage of a man in Reno who was coloring fabrics just to watch him dye.
I keep promising to clean out my office, but it's way too big a job.
The Wizard of Oz, on the other hand, is worth watching just to see what could be achieved 80 years ago using the most primitive of practical special effects if for no other reason.
The tornado bearing down on Dorothy as she tries to enter the storm cellar is stunning. Couldn't be done any better today.
Yep, even having seen that scene dozens of times and knowing exactly how it was done it still never fails to impress.
I can't stand it when people think that any unsolicited communication of any kind is automatically a "flirt" or "come on". Who told the people that feel that way that their winkie (or hoo-hoo, as the case may be) was made of solid gold and that anyone within a six foot radius of them would be immediately struck by an overwhelming desire to try to get some of it? Have they never heard of simply passing the time pleasantly with a new acquaintance with no sexual under- or overtones whatsoever?

Just be lucky you're young enough to arouse that kind of suspicion.
Bless you for thinking so, but at 52 I'm hardly "young" and that's no secret to anyone who sees me in person: My hair is not quite at the 50/50 point of white versus black yet, but it's getting very, very close.
It never stops completely. You just go from being a horndog to being a 'creeper' or a 'perv'.
I've never watched "The Wizard of Oz"
Revisiting an earlier topic, if the thought of watching "The Wizard of Oz" in its original form is a bit too much for you, great period special effects or not, for a more distinctly surreal experience try putting on "The Wizard of Oz", muting the sound, and playing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" instead. The urban legend about the album tracks aligning perfectly with and oddly suiting the scenes in the film is absolutely true.
If you decide to do it via YouTube, do it quickly because the "Wizard of Oz"/"Dark Side of the Moon" combo gets uploaded and then shortly thereafter taken down again with disturbing regularity, probably due to copyright infringement… either that, or a puritanical fan of one or the other works thinks it's blasphemous to combine them and lodges a complaint.
