Well seeing as that I like Indiana Jones and Steampunk and knowing that that's what I can expect, it might be fun.
Of course seeing as that I don't have the Sci-fi channel that's really beside the point.
A man may fight for many things. His country, his friends, his principles, the glistening ear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn.

How many women do you know who's backs light up with red lights when they're having an orgasm?
It's actually fairly common. How could you possibly not know that?
Crossfire: "Thank you! That explains it very nicely, and in a language that someone other than a physicist can understand..."
Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

maybe he's just never given a woman an orgasm.

Um, yeah, when describing something you don't like, try not to use the words "Indiana Jones."

Baum wrote the first fourteen, yes, but other writers continued his work in Lovecraftian fashion in what is known as the Famous Forty. Though discrepancies do occur from time to time in the latter texts, they are still considered canonical in regards to the original storyline.
There's also an enormous amount of non-canonical Oz novels floating about, as well as the derivative, alternate-universe non-novel works such as Tin Man.
Existence is a series of catastrophes through which everything barely but continually survives.

A joke about my manhood. At my expense!
I knew it was a mistake to dedicate most of the weekend to real life...
it always is.

I second the Toto thing, but apparently that only bothered two out of the six people in my house. And yes, the breast monkeys were kind of bad to the point of being laughable. Also, I watched this in part because of Zooey, and I was terribly disappointed with her DG as well. I know she has a broader range than making the same face for six hours, so I wonder if it wasn't directorial.
I didn't like it. The title character was for some strange reason uninteresting to me (and- I know I missed some- but why was it called Tin Man?), and everything else seemed just sort of strange and undeveloped, except for DG's past. And the ending was- well, I felt like it left most of the side characters in a sort of limbo- or at least, certainly didn't bother to add some closure to their stories.
I do have to add, though, that I watched this miniseries on the tail of seeing 10th Kingdom for the first time, and my opinions of the former might have been affected extremely fun, entertaining antics of the latter.

This thread being my only exposure to the work, I have little doubt this is the case, sharing the blame with the scriptwriters.

i do hate that, when you see someone you know is a good actor perform poorly because of a writer or director or both. The best case of these I've ever seen in Dungeons and Dragons, there we have Jeremy Irons, an amazing actor giving perhaps the shittiest performance of his life because of a first time writer and first time director. (not to mention all the other things wrong with that movie)
