Tin Man

[ChrisM]

It’s on tonight on the Sci-fi channel at 10.

For those who don’t know, it’s like a modern retelling of the Wizard of Oz. It’s rather darker though, so not a kids’ show.

Could be complete pap of course, but I’m intrigued.

So Return to Oz then ;-)

PS Are you the chap from Zovirax ads?

>So Return to Oz then ;-)

I thought of that. That’s one film I haven’t seen. Tin Man is a mini-series.
Alan Cumming is in it with a strange zip head.

>PS Are you the chap from Zovirax ads?

I had to think of that one for a bit, heh. Not nearly as pretty as that ‘chap’.

I was go-karting at my mate’s stag-do. I know, I look a bit (a big bit) of a wally. Hope to put a more conventional picture up there. Whether or not I look any less wally like is a whole other thing…

Oh, so that is you. I thought you were some kind of outer-space potato man.

I saw the first 45mins of this a while ago and decided not to bother with the rest! Frankly, it bored the arse off me. Calling Oz ‘the Oh Zee’ is enough for you to want to end your own life.

I watched it… and I have mixed feelings.

It actually wasn’t that bad, I liked the mix of sci-fi with fantasy, something you don’t see that often in fantasy stories, (Stephen King’s Dark Tower cycle being a big exception.)

It was kinda corny in places though. O-Z, and Deegee. Why not just call her Dorothy and be done with it? She’s a farm girl not a hip hop artist. And her parents are robots? Heh.

I’m going to stick with it for now though.

As for the my role as a potato man, I deny all knowledge. Do you have a sat-nav installed in your car by any chance? You should get one, they’re really cool!
