Well I am very glad you enjoyed my inane rambles Tues, sometimes i go off on something that is overwhelmingly amazing for me, but it may ot really resonate with anyone else!

I am deadly serious with my comparison by the way, in case you are giving me comedy powers I don't really have!

Wow, you laughed in the haunted forest in The Wizard Of Oz? those flying mnkeys are scarrrrryyyyyyyyy!!!

When I first saw SOTW I was struck by the name Wormwood Forest because it sounds so familiar. I have looked to no avail for anything else with that name, except the forest at Chernobyl, which is a real life horror story. I thought maybe in The Hobbit or LOTR, but I was thinking of Mirkwood. And the scene in both of your clips, Lula, is much like what I visualize when I read The Hobbit when they travel through Mirkwood, very spooky indeed! These are great scenes!

Isn't Absinthe supposed to be this insane liquer that has an extremely high volume of alcohol content?  Wow!!

I can def see how you can compare the Wormwood Forest and Haunted Forest.  I also enjoyed The Wizard of Oz.  I remember when they changed it to color or the first time I watched a version of it in color.

NICe to see you again nicoalscageiscosmic! I should have guessed by your username that this would appeal! there is something really quite mystical and magical about both these films, albeit in these scenes, also scary and dark!

The wormwood herb had been used for centuries for many purposes, yes gina it is a liquer and  it seems it was valued more for its psychotropic properties and their effects on creativity in the 19th century! have always found Wizard Of Oz to be a really trippy film..who needs Absinthe?

I too love that moment when the film goes from black and white to colour Gina, as the door opens onto munchkinland , like a portal into a world of pure magic! also a very important moment in cinematic history!
