Alice in Wonderland
 

I took Sara to see Alice in Wonderland 3D last night. This is an absolute must see. I want to go spend another $25 and see it again today! Johnny Depp played an awesome Mad Hatter, and Mia Wasikowska did a wonderful job playing Alice. I'm not going into details, but has anyone see it yet?

I just saw it yesterday with my two best friends..i actually did like it but it was sooooo different from the movie that i had on tape when i was little. I love that dance at the end if only i could do it lol

I think I'm gonna watch the cartoon sometime today. I don't think Sara remembers it!

She should like it..i think both are incredible.

There was a video game for alice that came out a while ago that was completely different from both of these movies. In the game, alice was the only one who survived this house fire and she is trying to escape or something idk but the game is creepy lol

^^^^

American McGee's Alice! I loved that game. Set in the same universe, but takes place a while after Through the Looking Glass.

I just wikipedia'd it..i haven't played it in sooo long and now i miss it. The cat is what i remember the most because i use to have dreams about him lol.

I finally saw the film. I give it a 7 out of 10. It wasn't great, and it wasn't bad. Tell ya why... The fact that Burton put his "American McGee" spin on it was fine; I found the idea of going back to Wonderland more appealing than a remake of the Disney animated film.

The problem with the movie is that you almost feel like Alice's reason for returning to Wonderland is moot. Sure there's a villain, and what happens to her in Wonderland is a parallel for the decisions she's facing in her own "real life"... but the follow through on bridging them both falls a bit flat. Also, I think it was missing a lot of the "weirdness for weirdness sake" that many Tim Burton movies (And the original Alice in Wonderland) had/have. The final battle (10 minutes) of the movie felt completely unnecessary as well.

So how IS a raven like a writing desk? . . . . :shrug:




(P.S. - I THINK I know the answer, but I'm not sure.)

lol what do u think is the answer because i have no friggin idea lol

Because Poe wrote on each of them.

YEP, that's apparently one answer. :)

(It turns out, though, that Carroll originally intended there to be NO answer. I just did a little digging on the net; and several different sites said that that was the joke - some riddles DON'T have an answer. But people bugged Carroll so much about it that he eventually wrote in an introduction to a later edition, "Because it can produce a few notes, though… they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!"
(Look at the spelling of "nevar!" :) ) Like mentioned above, another answer that has been proposed is,
"Because Poe wrote on both." :lol:

The answer I had come up with is,
"Because both can fly!" ;)

haha... I must be having a brain fart because I don't get that one :lol:

The 3D was horrid.....most of the effects were blurry. They filmed it in 2D and transferred it to 3D, making it all wrong.

The storyline and acting were par. What bothered me the most was Johnny's makeup. Why didn't they powder his neck, too? It annoyed the crap out of me to see his white face and regular skinned neck. ugh.

Just a word of advice: never ever ever see it in 3D unless you want the movie to **** up your eyes..I learned that with Avatar. This 3D movement is the next T-Pain =\

I think they were trying to make Johnny look crazy because the Hatter is crazy.
I had an aunt who had "issues" so she would draw on her eye brows-- thick like a clown-- and sport orange lipstick. We can't explain all things lol

I'm going to see it on saturday and I'm really looking forward to it... apart from the 3D. I did tell the girl who was booking tickets that 3D hurts my eyes but it was too late. Eh well.
