THE AMC ON 42 nd  STREET, NY – Though usually a place where dreams come true, everyone has a nice time, and nobody gets bedbugs, the atmosphere at the 42nd Street AMC was decidedly bleak last Friday, as the audience emerged from an exclusive press-screener of Warner Brother’s so-called upcoming film, Wicked: 1½,  which was clearly a re-release of 1939’s The Wizard of Oz .   “I thought this was going to be, like, a secret third film,” said micro
