Oz the Great and Powerful! Also, a pic of my bjd which is actually totally related to this post

Tonight Scottie and I had a date night! We went to see Oz the Great and Powerful! I saw previews for it the last time we were at the theater (for Scottie's birthday in January, when we saw Les Mis) and I'd wanted to see it. :3 We used to go to the movies a lot, but we haven't gone very often the last couple of years (a mix of cost issues and me being too antsy to get me into a theatre).

But tonight we decided to go! The cheap theatre was playing Oz so that worked out well. :3

I thought the movie was quite cute and funny! I'm going to avoid being spoilery, but I wanted to talk about a character that was introduced in the movie.

The little china doll girl. I hadn't seen her in the (one?) preview I'd seen, so when I saw her I was squeeing like mad. SHE HAS BALL JOINTS! SHE'S LIKE THE SIZE OF A BJD. SHE IS SOOOO CUTE OMGGGGGGGGGG. I liked the movie quite a bit but by far she was my favorite part of the movie. xD

I was a bit surprised by the wicked sisters. I figured Evanora would be the wicked witch, I mean, she was shown as an evil witch in sparkling green. I didn't think Theodora, who didn't seem evil at first- just tempermental, and was dressed in red would end up actually being the wicked witch instead. The colors were a red herring! lol

My one complaint is that in some of the opening scenes in Oz, when we were looking at scenery, the movie didn't translate into 2D well. We weren't watching the 3D version, so I wasn't expecting the scenes to be all weird and blurry like you were watching a 3D movie without the glasses. I don't know what happened there because it wasn't an issue for the rest of the movie though. o_O

I took a picture of my Soah yesterday and didn't post it yet. Here's my lovely Soah holding Frankie. Not the fanciest picture but I thought it turned out nice enough. n_n

I hope that you enjoy it! I had fun with it. n_n

I understand waiting to see it after the ex thing, but it's good to go watch it anyway! You certainly don't want to let sourness from an ex stop you from doing something you want to do. :3

It was a good movie, not my favourite Oz film but I did enjoy it. I definitely refuse to let anything from an ex sour me on things I enjoy. I did want to give myself time so that I didn't go into the film grumpy. I'm doing much better now :)
