Dorothy is a Transsexual, I think (Tin Man thread)

Plot according to the Wikipedia writeup:
The once-beautiful "Outer Zone" (O.Z.) has been zapped into a frigid and decaying wasteland. One of O.Z.'s inhabitants, known only as Lavender Eyes, has been imprisoned. Her stunningly evil captor in black leather is the sorceress Azkadellia. The Woman is just part of the sorceress's nefarious plot—to suck the souls out of her minions and harness the energy to jump the gap between her world and the "other side"—a place called Earth. But Azkadellia's prescient wolverine servant, Lylo, warns his mistress of a vile presence that embodies goodness, an alarming glimmer of light and hope that could be her undoing. She is DG, a rebellious young waitress from Omaha, imbued with wanderlust and visited upon in her dreams by none other than Lavender Eyes and the fellow slaves whose pleas of "save us" urge DG to follow her destiny.

DG does just that, right over a cliff into a swirling storm, face first in a debris-strewn land of double suns. She eventually encounters Cain, a former policeman from the city in the center of OZ whose past left him hardened. Enlisting the help of Glitch, a man missing half his brain, and Raw, a quiet yet powerful creature looking for courage, DG and Cain embark on a journey of deliverance along a crumbling old road. Where it leads is into the decadence of the Twister Cabaret, the flamboyant shocks of the Realm of the Unwanted, the fetid horrors of the Black Swamp, and deep into the darkening heart of O.Z. and the mind of the Mystic Man who knows all. As Cain learns to feel again, DG will discover her role in the fate of a city, her startling connection to Lavender Eyes and to Azkadellia herself.

This airs tomorrow at 9 pm. I can't wait. It looks weird and awesome. Which is a good combination.
Who else is going to watch this?

    At comic-con they advertised this show by giving out green apple ringpops and little comic books giving a little bit of background on the series. It seemed pretty neat and if I had a working television I might tune in to watch :/

    remade ideas can suck, but this one actually looks good
    the previews/trailers for it have been really unusual and weird.
    which = awesome.

    It'll be interesting how it's all portrayed.

    I get that it's just a rehashing of an old idea, but I liken it to some cover songs. There are always some that do the original justice in a new way.

    It looks pretty good for a movie from Sci-Fi.

    I can only hope it doesn't go the Tim Burton-esque "WHOO LOOK THIS SURE IS QUIRKY" aesthetic.

    This will be brilliant because if it sucks we can just oogle Zoey.

    Or the tin man if you're into that sort of thing.

    Question: Do gays/women find Alan Cummin attractive? He kinda puts me off because of his perfume thing he did.

    I am going to check this out. I grew up watching the Wizard of Oz (and Return to Oz) many, many times. I hate the way Wicked inter-twines every character's history in it's re-imagining/prequel so I hope this one turns out good.

    Wasn't wizard of oz supposed to be groundbreaking because they used color.

    like it was the first movie to have color or some shit

    that was the whole thing

    the idea was based around the color


    this is just shit wrapped inside a shitty sci fi channel movie

    like a shit pocket

    which isn't far from a regular hot pocket


    anyway sci fi hasn't been good since farscape cancellation and that woman took over as pres of the sci fi channel company whatever

    she has terrible ideas and employs people with similar terrible ideas

    Yeah, Seph's right. Why are we watching a remake to a movie that was only a gimmick anyway?

    (hint: It was a book you fucking retard and yes, the Technicolor was a novelty at the time but they didn't create the movie as a showcase for it.)

    Even if it hadn't been a good book previously, who cares what the reason was, if it resulted in something people can enjoy. Wait it wasn't created with the right reasons? well then IT MUST BE WORTHLESS.

    Ok, I can't joke too much, we went over the first book (at least) in my history class. Apparently the author wrote the books as commentary on the state of politics at the time. There are a whole lotta metaphors crammed into those books.
