Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
This is just so weird to me because, for fuck's sake, it's SWEENEY TODD. It's so odd to think about someone not knowing it's a musical.
Also, have those people look at any trailer for any foreign film.
They are all "bait and switch" since most of them show no dialogue at all and the stirring music generally implies they are all Sturm und Drang action films.
Tim Burton to direct Alice in Wonderland Tim Burton to direct Alice in Wonderland: [link]
Dear Tim Burton,
Johnny Depp is much too old and too brunette to play Alice. And so is Helena, for that matter. Expand your casting.
All my love and a comb,
Aimee
Tim Burton has to scouting for his next muse. There was Winona Rider, Christina Ricci and then HBC--besides JD, of course.
Aimee - so exactly what I was thinking.
Perhaps he can be the Red Queen?

My goodness, that movie is going to be art-directed within an inch of its life. I approve.
Aimee, don't be silly. Johnny Depp will be the Mad Hatter or the White Rabbit, and HBC will probably be the Red Queen.
JD would make a decent Cheshire Cat, though. And I can see Tim casting HBC as the Red Queen.
curses the sudden yet inevitable x-post
Make JD and HBC Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
ETA: Before Iget hung up by my toenails, I'm totally just kidding. Cheshire Cat and Red Queen were totally what I was thinking.
Jim Broadbent as The Walrus.
Dammit, my stupid is showing. They aren't in Adventures.
Very glad Adventures is on my reading list for my children's lit class!
CAST ALICE YOUNG. If you can even vaguely pull it off. Alice is supposed to be, what, 7 or 8? Her stories don't work for me if she's any older than 10 or so...
And NO DAKOTA FANNING.
