Best Scarecrow

I was at the video store yesterday and couldn't help but purchase a movie that caught my eye on the shelf. It was the 1978 adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, and I'm sorry but when I saw that it starred Michael Jackson I just had to buy it, even if it'd make me sad. I love him in it, he's hilarious and undoubtedly adorable - what with being only the tender age of 20. And in amongst all the makeup they put on him as the scarecrow, you can still spot the eyes and smile that are so ultimately Michael. It did make me tear up in actual fact, but he's only further inspired me now. Never has The Wizard of Oz made me anything less than frightened, and, although this version did freak me out initially, when Michael Jackson came on the screen - perched in the most scarecrow of ways in the sweetest little outfit - I realised why I bought the $9.95 DVD and faced my fear of the yellow brick road
