It's not suppose to **** up your eyes. If it does, it's not right.

IMAX 3D didn't screw my eyes over!! It was... INCREDIBLE!! I loved every minute of it! And I couldn't help but squeal at the great big stonking Stevie refrence, when Hamish says to Alice, 'Maybe it's best to keep your visions to yourself' all the while she thinks she's having bad DREAMS

I don't think that was a Stevie reference, but okay.

After 2 bottles of Coke, a few weeks of excitement and two bags of sweets, it was a Stevie reference

I did get on the train thinking about it too, and all I could hear was my Media teacher saying 'Everything is constructed' in my head, it wasn't coincidence, it was there for a reason, Stevie or not

Nah, probably just the two colas and the bag of sweets. I can tell you're dangerous on sugar.

Just a bit

I was that excited about it I went straight to HMV and blew £15 on Stevie live in Chicago. My wallet squealed.

That's okay - put me on a bag of gummy bears and I'm going to the moon.

I just did some digging - they swiped it from one of the "Waverly" novels by Sir Walter Scott. I think maybe poets who read a lot are quite familiar with the line...

That's all the under 20's that go to see it then

It's a shame that it's not a Stevie reference though

I'm with you. Alice was a completely unsympathetic character- for Harry Potter fans, she was Luna Lovegood without the redeeming strengths of loyalty and intelligence- and the white queen was, if possible, worse. I did love Johnny's Mad Hatter and the cheshire cat, but without those two, the film would have tanked.

What's SHOCKING is that the film has grossed over 250 million bucks in America.

That may be world wide. I think the US gross is about 80 million not counting DVD sales.
