    No. Jehnn-i-furrrr Lo-Pez. Not now. Not ever.

    Thank you.

    We are pleased to channel the spirit of Cartman, in this instance.

    If you're asking who I'd like to see in the Dorothy outfit -- I'd have to say Amy Adams. I'd be arrested if I said Emma Roberts

    From a purely theatrical standpoint -- Abigail Breslin

    Sports Predictor - I was wondering how long it would take for someone to post that cast.

    How about we not remake on the top 10 films of all-time?

    BTW ... who's playing Charles Foster Kane in our reboot of Citizen Kane, tentatively entitled CK2000?

    As long as no one tries to remake Billy Madison or the original Mighty Ducks, I'm OK.

    IJAG would be a good Dorothy, if the Wizard of Oz took on a Heathers theme.

    Heather Gale: My aunt and uncle wanted to move me to go to Oz right out of the sixth grade, but we decided to chuck the idea because I'd have trouble making friends, blah, blah, blah. Now blah, blah, blah is all I ever do. I use my wandering spirit to decide what color dress to wear in the morning and how to hit three poppy fields before curfew ...
