    That's so funny, I saw the title of this thread and I was going to tell you that you needed to watch it with Dark Side of the Moon :)

    I've never seen it, not once. One day I will (my daughter has seen it though). Btw., there was some "blooper" in there. While they were filming a guy hung himself in the forrest where they were shooting, and a few seconds of the movie show him hanging from the tree in the background.

    Yeah, amazing what they did in the 30s already. There is another movie from that time I've seen, "The thief of Baghdad", which had some amazing effects considering it was from the 30s as well.

    Snopes says it's a myth: http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/ozsuicid.htm

    My 4 year old saw most of it for the first time the other day. She loved it, wasn't scared at all.

    wizard of oz is supposed to be a commentary on some monetary policy during the 30's or something. in the book, the slippers were silver not ruby. there was some sort of debate of a gold standard or silver standard *shrugs* who knows what that is all about :p

    Not sure what to make out of this comment. Are you saying that computer guys are not supposed to have any other interests than what's going on online?
