Yeah. We moan about the winter here in the UK, but at least we don't have weather that could kill you. It can feel cold some days, but you won't get frostbite.

That is most likely, he's taking it pretty far tonight. He knows when he is beaten however...
Yeah. The thing is, a full on tantrum can get pretty tiring after a bit. He'll probably just burn himself out and give in.

Usually a tantrum like this leads to a quick bedtime. But he is really digging The Wizard of Oz so I thinking we'll stay up for a bit to read it.

I blame MLP.
Yeah. that may be a good bargaining tool. If you stop this tantrum you can stay up and read the Wizard of Oz with me.

When my little cousins had tantrums, I would stoke the fire for my own amusement.
One time the second youngest really, really wanted ice cream and his mom said no. He was in "pick up things around the room and throw them" mode. Eventually he threw a ball and I dove like a outfielder to catch it and throw it back. And he kept doing this.
Eventually he stopped crying and was having fun just playing so I got some ice cream and sat down and ate it in front of him and it started again.
His mom was not pleased.

A lot of the story is allegorical. He was a theosophist. It's basically based on the Occult ideas of Madame Blavatsky.
The origins of the Tin Woodman and Scarecrow are pretty unnearving, then there's the goggles that you have to lock on to your head to go into the Emerald City... its all very creepy.

All I know is that as a kid, I enjoyed the more scary parts of the movie than everything else.

They're all manifestations of dorothy. Perhaps parts of her own psyche. I did read into the esoteric meaning behind the story at one point.
Not that I'm really that into theosophy, it's just that I am quite curious about these things.

What was your old avatar? I recognise your name for some reason.
I couldn't finish Wicked... fuck that book, cause I know how it ends. As long as I don't finish reading it, then it won't end and the poor lady is okay.
Ya, re-reading it as an adult is extremely interesting because of the obvious allegorical themes in the book. As a kid though, I was all 'WEEE! FIELDMICE THAT PULL A LION ON A CHARIOT!'
Yeah, it's interesting the choice they made with the musical to not end it that way. And I usually hate sappy, perfect endings... but I think in this case I rather prefer it.
Yeah. You view the world from a completely different perspective as a kid. In some ways I miss being a kid. There is no responsibility you see. Your life was centred around having fun. Everything was a new experience to you.

I almost caught the Musical while it was in Pittsburgh, but the tickets were ridiculously expensive (Thanks Ticketmaster!) so to get an even half-decent seat even months in advance it was about 500 dollars. Ya, I don't need to see it THAT bad.
It's fun though, I can acutely remember reading The Wizard of Oz as a child and completely missing the most obvious things. You can have new experiences as Adults, but you also have the context to explain those experiences.
Also, as an adult, you can eat 2 pounds of twizzlers and nobody can tell you no.

If I looked like Romola Garai, in drag, I'd be all over that.
This is true. I have to say though, the best days of your life are when you're growing up. The summer holidays come around and there is no school for a month.
I think it is partly to do with the complete lack of responsibility and perhaps because the adolescent mind is a little different.

No the best musical is easily High School- I can't finish that sentence.

Best Musical is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
I have to say. When watching a lot of those movies as a kid, I always wanted them to stop singing and the movie to progress to the next part. The singing was more of an annoyance to me.
This sounds like a man who has never seen a movie with Gene Kelly in it.
Good movie. Bad music.

Musicals are fun to produce.
I rarely enjoy actually sitting there and watching one unless it's animated.

I overall liked Dr. Horrible. Give NPH and Nathan Fillion more vehicles to just chew the fuck out of some scenery.
Felicia Day was the weak spot of that, though. Shoulda been Jewel Staite.
