So, I don’t do this as often as I used to, but this one has really given me some food for thought. Eug and I went to see Oz: The Great and Powerful on Friday night.  And while overall, I liked it, and thought it was a well-made movie, there were a few things about it that distressed me.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm yeah, I think do not want to see this movie. I do however want to go read all the Oz books now!

The Oz books are wonderful. I don't want to completely slam the movie, there was a lot I liked about it. But this frustrated me.

I get pretty quickly annoyed when movies just do an downright shitty job or portraying female characters and just fall back on romance plots (either instant love or suddenly evil due to 'love') Annoys the fuck out of me and tends to overshadow everything else because it is so stupid and lazy and just fucking insulting

Yes, then please don't see this movie. I don't want an angry Becca.
