Elphaba Potter Member	posted 07-06-2006 06:20 PM quote: Originally posted by booklady: Natalie Wood, Robert Wagner & Christopher Walken were out on the Wagner's boat. There was a lot of drinking going on & Natalie fell overboard. Her death was declared an accidental drowning & no charges were ever filed. OH MY GOD. please excuse the all caps. But I am in shock. I am having trouble with this... I always was a big fan of Chris Walken. Now, I don't think that I could ever look at him the same. Shocker of the day. IP: Logged
Elphaba Potter Member	posted 07-06-2006 06:24 PM I was wondering... Harry Potter fans are callled Potterheads. RENT fans are called RENTheads. X-files fans are called X-Philes. Do Wicked fans have a fun name? IP: Logged

There was also "Shiz Kids", but I think that was retarded. Either way, only people who have seen the show would understand that. IP: Logged

booklady Member	posted 07-06-2006 08:21 PM Ozians as a nickname for Wizard of Oz fans has been around for awhile. Christopher Walken had nothing to do with Natalie Wood's death. It was a tragic accident brought on by too much alcohol & choppy water. The murder rumors started because Natalie had been afraid of the water ever since she was a young girl & some people thought it odd that she was out on the boat with her husband & Christopher Walken, although she had gone out on the boat at other times with friends & family. There was no sign of foul play, but people will talk. Some of the rumors were that Natalie & Robert were fighting, but there is no conclusive evidence that they were fighting or that she was murdered. IP: Logged

Yero the Hero Moderator	posted 07-06-2006 08:35 PM Well, booklady, I know all of the evidence is inconclusive, but I just find it very odd that she happen to be on a boat with her husband and the man she was currently sleeping with, even though she was terrified of water and happen to get drunk and fall off. It all seems a little too convienient for my taste. Though, I am incredibly cynical..... Anywa, to cause even more controversy, here's my rendition of the night in question: Natalie Wood is having a peaceful afternoon when he husband asks her to take a boat ride with him. She agrees, happily, even though she's terrified of water, she decides to go to make of for her affair. But, then she finds Christopher Walken is accompanying them...Dun dun dunnnnnn! Both of them, so angered with her, force feed her whiskey. She then starts dancing around and sings "I Feel Pretty" off-key. They then beat her up, strategically placing the bruises in places where she would get hit by the boat and rocks. They then throw her overboard and have some brandy and cigars. The End. Okay, now I'm a little skeptical.....there's too much convienience on both sides of the story.... IP: Logged
booklady Member	posted 07-06-2006 09:13 PM The affair with Christopher Walken was never proven. Natlie & Robert had been married before & divorced after only a few years. She remarried, had a daughter & then divorced her second husband when she found he was having an affair. She remarried Robert & they had a daughter. As with most Hollywood stories, there were a lot of rumors floating around & none of them were ever proven. She had been out on the boat before & she was known as something of a drinker. I have been a huge fan of Natalie Wood, ever since I saw her in "Miracle on 34th Street" when I was a little girl. The bruises on her body were consistant with falling & she had been drinking a lot. It makes no sense that her husband & so-called lover would conspire to kill her, especially in light of the fact that she & Robert had a daughter together. IP: Logged
I Couldn't Be Happier Member	posted 07-06-2006 09:37 PM Since we are now using this thread to discuss Holloywood murder rumors, how did Marilyn Monroe die? Was she............MURDERED? IP: Logged
Twyzzlyr Member	posted 07-06-2006 10:08 PM Jackie O, under the cover of night and highly disguised, was escorted by the very best of the secret service to Marilyn's home where she and and Marilyn proceeded to have a very nice evening. Jackie confronted her on her affair with Jackie's husband. Marilyn apologized for whatever pain she caused. They agree to let by-gones be by-gones as the great Ladies of state often do. While saying her good nights, Jackie O brought out a very tiny, very sharp needle and pricks Marilyn, injecting her with a type of poison that leaves no indication. She force feeds Marilyn her sleeping pills and helps the poor dear to bed. She then leaves and returns home to her husband and family. Marilyn, tragically, never awoke from her beauty sleep, and the world never fully revived from the loss. IP: Logged

There was also "Shiz Kids", but I think that was retarded. Either way, only people who have seen the show would understand that. I really don't like the idea of Wicked fans being called Ozians for a number of reasons. People unfamiliar with Wicked and such won't know what that means. Or if they recognize it they will think that we are fans of Wizard of Oz. I wish we could have a name that was very identifiable and specific to Wicked. I don't like Wickedheads though. IP: Logged
OvertheMoonforIM Member	posted 07-07-2006 09:14 AM I don't like Wickedheads, it sounds like we weren't original enough so we had to rip off RENThead. IP: Logged
Elphaba Potter Member	posted 07-07-2006 02:30 PM quote: Originally posted by OvertheMoonforIM: I don't like Wickedheads, it sounds like we weren't original enough so we had to rip off RENThead. I totally agree. We're creative enough as it is to come up with something original. I mean, Potterheads/Potheads already ripped off RENTheads. It might be cool if it's something that has to do with green skin. I dunno, though because it may seem like we are claiming to be UFO abductees or something like that. IP: Logged

booklady Member	posted 07-07-2006 06:58 PM I was & am a fan of the WOZ, the original books by L Frank Baum, the MGM movie & the not as good (IMO) movie Return to Oz, long before I found Wicked back in 1995 or 1996. I have considered myself an Ozian for a long time. [This message has been edited by booklady (edited 07-07-2006).] IP: Logged

Green Girl Member	posted 07-08-2006 03:22 AM OMG! When I left you guys were back on Reece for a part in the movie, I check back two days later and it's who murdered Natalie Wood. Nice guys! Now, I am random but I don't think I could have ever got from there to there! Well done. IP: Logged
Yero the Hero Moderator	posted 07-08-2006 08:31 AM takes a bow And it's spelled "Reese". IP: Logged
nicoladotcom Junior Member	posted 07-08-2006 09:49 AM I was at Universal Studios in California recently and they had a display of Wicked Memorablilia - including props from the show (broomstick, newborn Elphaba, etc) but there was no info on whether they were turning this into a film...I have heard the rumours though and think that Reese Witherspoon would have to be cast as Glinda - she would be perfect, especially after she proved she can sing in Walk The Line. quote: Originally posted by Unlimited: Does anyone have any info on the film version? PLEASE tell me they're not considering Renee Zelwiger - lol. Assuming Idina & Kristen are not eligible (Hollywood often requires bigger names)... who's your 'dream cast'? Mine: ELPHABA - Charlize Theron, Minnie Driver GLINDA - Megan Mullaly (Karen 'Will & Grace') WIZARD - Joel Grey, Anthony Hopkins MORRIBLE - Bette Midler FIYERO - Hugh Jackman, Rob Thomas NESSA - Natalie Portman BOQ - Leonardo DiCapprio IP: Logged

sakamoto-san Junior Member	posted 07-08-2006 05:35 PM I was recently in L.A. too and saw the Wicked props and posters. They had a poster on one of the writers buildings so I think that means there will be a movie. IP: Logged

Yeah, the media will definitely come up with something...only I hope it's not Wickedheads. [This message has been edited by Elphaba Potter (edited 07-08-2006).] IP: Logged

First the theme park, and now this...although I shouldn't believe a newbie (no offense) Sidenote: OMG, Sakamoto-san, do you like Memoirs of a Geisha?? I absolutely love that novel (and subsequent motion picture)! It sooo desereved the Oscars it won. IP: Logged
Twyzzlyr Member	posted 07-08-2006 07:57 PM The movie wasn't as good as I had thought it would be. It was great, provided you had read the book beforehand. But alone, it's lacking. Generally, though, I say the same about most movies made after books that I love. IP: Logged

It was great, provided you had read the book beforehand. But alone, it's lacking. Generally, though, I say the same about most movies made after books that I love. Well, that's absolutely true. I mean, look at The Devil Wears Prada or almost any Harry Potter film. It's very tricky business turning a book into a film, but Memoirs did an alright job. I was just disappointed that Sayuri's fame lasted about 15 mintues, even though she was supposed to be one of the premiere Geisha of Gion. Well, anyway, I don't ant to get into that....... IP: Logged
Twyzzlyr Member	posted 07-08-2006 08:41 PM As a whole, they did well keeping with the book. It just seemed like the whole thing was too fast to me. The pace was horrid, and I really thought I wouldn't have a clue what was going on had I not already been in love with the book for so long. Harry Potter, don't get me started. I haven't yet seen The Devil Wears Prada, but I've heard great things. I thought the book was horrid, so I'll praise the higher powers if they changed that. IP: Logged
