Huh. Do you particularly care about movies? I think I'm old enough that movie history (watching the classics) was a pretty common hobby... these days, I guess people are patient gaming and there's a lot more anime to catch up on, on top of all the scrolling.

    I did watch a lot of movies. Tho not a junkie. I guess watching wizard of Oz is very much an US thingy, I only know it from cartoon series like Simpsons or so.

    It also has some damn good music... somewhere over the rainbow and if I only had a brain are bangers, and Judy Garland was a touchstone for gay boomers...

    Understanding references was part of the draw, too... if I keep seeing a reference to something, I want to watch it. The biggest problem is being unaware that something even is a reference. The Simpsons DVD commentary is eye-opening in that regard.
