I think I mentioned if here at some point. I've been reading it for a while.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Maybe I mentioned it in comics. I'm not good with the remembering.

It's based on a series written by Mark Millar.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I see from reading back that I was the only person here to enjoy Alice. I don't disagree with most of the criticisms - although I think Alice's lack of agency is typical of fantasy stories, from LotR to The Neverending Story - but I really enjoyed it all the same. I was enchanted by the less central characters, in particular. And I thought it was fairly faithful to the source, for an adaptation. Compared with the horrific Disney animated movie from the 1980s, for example. I too would have loved a darker version, but I can't imagine that Disney would have funded anything darker than that. (Would have been interesting to see what Burton made of it if he'd had freer rein, though.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I went to see The Blind Side mostly to keep my sister-in-law company. It was okay, though a bit skimpy on details. the part I liked best were the photos of the real Micheal Orr and the real Touhy family that were shown over the ending credits.
My second favorite parts were anytime the young son was on screen. He was a hoot!
Oh and I forgot to mention that Lily Collins who played the daughter, named Collins! looks like a young Eliza Dushku to me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
The animated Alice in Wonderland creeps me right the frig out. It's one of the movies that falls under Evil Horror for me. It's like a nightmare come true, with all of a nightmare's logic. After watching Burton's Willy Wonka, I have absolutely no desire to see his Alice. I have a feeling that the horror will be less, but I will still be creeped right out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 liked Kick-Ass a lot. I'm still Cage-shy.

Compassionately intolerant
Titanic to be re-released in 3D.
Of course, because one can't truly get the horror of 1500+ people drowning without the bow of the boat poking your right in the nose.
Sigh.
