Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Stuff and nonsense!

I don't like Alice in Wonderland.

Just thought I'd say.

But but but ... the Cheshire Cat! The White Rabbit! Mad tea parties! Twinkle twinkle little bat!

Maybe I've just seen the Disney movie (which has almost nothing to do with the book, I know) too many times. It's a dark freaking book. The baby TURNS INTO A PIG.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It wasn't a nice baby.

Ah, that would do it. I like the Disney movie too, but AiW is one of the books I was raised on. I have a fierce and almost irrational love for it.

As ita says, it wasn't a nice baby.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Suddenly wants Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and/or Through the Looking Glass

OK, maybe not so suddenly.

I'd more than settle for Terry Gilliam's.

Tim is working on Alice in Wonderland! It's his next movie. I'm trying to figure out if I know anyone at all that could get me onto the set as an extra. Because, eeeee! Tim Burton and Alice in Wonderland!

The status is NOT quo.

I know!! So exciting. (If you get on the set, I shall be terribly jealous. Terribly happy for you, but also terribly jealous.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Believing six impossible things before breakfast!

"It's jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today."

"Twas brillig and the slithy toves...."

(Those are Through the Looking Glass, I think.)

It wasn't a nice baby.

Being a pig was probably its finest hour.
