"Auntie Em" is the Safety Word


Todd McFarlane apparently reads this blog, and caught my obscure reference to his Wizard of Oz toys, which is so obscure as a matter of fact that I can't find the entry where I even mentioned them anymore. Oh, and of course, anything said, done or thought about in the real world that resembles something on this site constitutes that it was totally done at my behest. Anyways, due to my incredible (read: impractical) referencing skills, McFarlane is in talks to make a remake of the classic Oz tale based on his toys, working with A History of Violence scribe, Josh Olson. Which means that in twelve months or so, we will see Pan's Labyrinth meets The Story of O. Which begs the question: where is Tim Burton in all of this? This is the kind of thing that guy gratifies himself to. Literally. I've seen it. More specifically at the local Hot Topic, in broad daylight, answering anyone who comes to question his behavior with "I..... Am.... Batman!". Oh, wait, that might've been me. My bad.
