That's what watching The Wiz is to Julie visually. Emotionally it is whole bunch of other unpleasant things. Everytime Julie watches it she stops at a certain point. This time it was when Michael Jackson as The Scarecrow asks the crows passively and submissively to stop eating his body. Human beings dressed as crows eating him while he warmly says "Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your breakfast!" Julie could not handle it. She stopped watching and then started watching August: Osage County and shut that off when Julia Roberts started talking. They're called Boobs, Ed. |
