Oh, HELL no!

Todd McFarlane to make movie based on "The Wizard of Oz."

Having seen what he came up with when he created his line of OZ maquettes (which I am not providing a link for, thankyouverymuch) I can only hope I suffer from hysterical blindness if I'm ever forced to watch whatever form of cinematic atrocity he comes up with.

GAH!

Yeah, my exact reaction when I heard about this was "NO! NO NO NO NO NO! WRONG! BAD AND WRONG AND BAD!"

Sadly, I have friends who like watching train wrecks...

... Okay. That's a joke, right? Right? No one in their right mind would let him do that. No one. I mean... that's like letting Rob Liefeld... um... living. And... no. I refuse to believe it. Nope. It doesn't exist. Nope.

It's not like anyone can stop him -- the book has been in the public domain for 50 years.

Of course we can stop him. Mind you, it involves a dark night, good escape routes and a sniper rifle, but we can stop him.

If there were any hope at all of McFarlane coming up with something original, I'd be almost not bored by this news.

As is? Yeah, Todd, flog your tired shtick one more time. Yes, yes, you're edgy and cool. Here's your sippy cup.
