Awful film

The Wiz is one of those movies that you either immediately 'get' and appreciate for what it is and love it, or you never do and just think it's horrible.

I'm the former; I have a lot of positive memories attached to that flick.

So I'm with whoever asked you what the fuck you were smoking when you posted that. lol

Right now, they're showing that army movie I mentioned earlier. The name of it is Some Kind Of Hero. I wonder if Richard Pryor's estate owns Bounce. lol

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I find it mind-numbingly boring. It's like torture

2 of my favorite songs from The Wiz are "No bad news" & "If you Believe"..

They said back-in-the-day Mabel King brought the Damn house down with her performance on broadway...She looked something scary in The movie...Then she was so versatile to play Roger's Mother in "What's happening"....She was underrated...

But, there's many other black movies that don't have Richard in them. They just show the same ones all the time. Stir Crazy was on again a couple of times last week. So was The Wiz.
