'War Stories'
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.
Yes, it was a jabberwocky. Like I said, the movie was beautiful, if filled with a lot of I can't tell if this is Trademark Tim Burton, or if he's tired and ripping himself off visuals. But oh G-d, the story. The dialog. Ugh. And the OMG HORRIBLE DANCE they made the Hatter do at the end. Hate. Haaaaate.
I have the art book. It's very pretty. I borrowed the Blu-Ray from Dad recently to see if maybe I was over-exaggerating how much I disliked the movie. It turns out I wasn't.
I liked wee Alice and her dad very much.
I may over-identify with wee Alice and her dad. Maybe.
In different movie news, I am hoping I can persuade Pete to go see The Woman In Black in the next week. I must go see it.
I'm with Jilli. I really did not like the movie at all. And, I felt that there was not enough Depp (besides the dancing).
I also was kind of angry at the ending of the film. I don't like tacked on feminism.
As you can probably tell, I was heartbrokenly disappointed in the movie. One of my favorite books plus my favorite director? It should have been perfect for me! I honestly felt betrayed by it.
Ooh, I think the Woman in Black looks very interesting.
I would go see The Woman In Black today, but I am in PDX, and it is not a Cass movie. At all. I, on the other hand, make flaily-hands of glee every every time there's a commercial for it. Go Hammer Studios! Rise from the grave!
You guys, Jurassic Park is still fucking awesome, in case you were wondering.
I'm on the hunt to get the 1966 BBC version of Alice done in B/W.
Directed by Jonathan Miller, w/ Peter Sellars and Peter Cook.
It's dreamlike and unsettling.
I've been wanting to rewatch Jurassic Park.

That looks completely entrancing. JILLI MUST CLICK THAT CLICKY-LINK. MUST. MUST.
