Remember The Wizard?

trotski writes "I remember when I saw The Wizard as a kid, I thought it was the perfect movie. X-entertainment has released a review through the eyes of geek of this classic. Few movies have ever dwelled in pits of infamy quite so deep as The Wizard, Nintendo's 100-minute video game commercial that vaguely masqueraded as a real movie. The Wizard should've been able to keep kids well into their late teens interested, but the entire thing goes down the tubes once you hear the villainous cool kid's pickup line: "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." The site includes video clips of this and other great moments in the movie." There's also a just-the-facts plot review of this timeless classic, at the Onion.

With Michael Jackson and Diana Ross?

[coyote-san]

There should be a category for items that won't be comprehensible to anyone over 20 or so.

I swear my first thought was the Michael Jackson/Diana Ross take on The Wizard of Oz. But then I remembered that was The Wiz.

They just don't make movies like they used to... with child stars strung out on drugs pushed by their studios.
