While watching the Green Bay Packers rain down points for my fantasy football team, I caught a version of the TV spot for the upcoming James Cameron flick Avatar. At one point the voice-over is some space general telling his troops, "We're not in Kansas anymore." So, in conclusion, props to L. Frank Baum and Miss Garland for having a version of their famous line still be culturally relevant to a bunch of soldiers in the 22nd century. That's some Shakespearean longevity. Or perhaps this movie is also an allegory for turn of the century populism and Sam Worthington's character is based on William Jennings Bryan. We'll see.
Happy Thanksgiving.
