Amazon.com: Robert Altman: You've just been nominated for an Oscar (for M*A*S*H) and given the keys to Hollywood--what are you going to do next? Leave it to eternal maverick Altman to turn around and make this wickedly loony, esoteric (and little-seen) comedy, about an odd loner (Bud Cort as the title character) whose dream is to build a pair of wings in his aerie in the Houston Astrodome that can really fly. Altman spoofs both The Wizard of Oz (look for Margaret Hamilton in a cameo) and Bullitt as he fuses a strange serial murder plot to his story of young Brewster and his strange adventures. His cast includes such Altman regulars as John Schuck, Michael Murphy, and Rene Auberjonois, as well as a wild cameo by Stacy Keach. --Marshall Fine

Somebody who has access to a machine that transfers VHS cassettes to DVD discs ripped off Dr. Paddon for 10 or 20 dollars. This somebody used to operate a web site called [..]. Like Dr. Paddon, ...
