OK, so it’s been a while since I posted anything and there’s no good reason for it. I’ve got 4 drafts sitting here and none seem worthy of publishing so I’m starting a new one from scratch.
I don’t even know what that means… “from scratch”. Does it mean I’m starting by relieving an itch? Does it mean the devil’s involved? I don’t know. English is a stupid language.
So today marks the release of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. I really, really want to like this movie. I do, I do, I do. The Alice mythology is very interesting to me and I’d love for it to reach the screen in a format sans Disneyfication. Big fail there. Disney is producing this film too. But it’s Tim Burton and if there’s a director out there that can do insane absurdity, it’s him. I’d still like to have seen Terry Gilliam’s version, but the Disney execs probably don’t want the occupants of Wonderland killed off by a plague, Alice lobotomized, or the Queen of Hearts being chased through time by midgets. When word came out months ago about the project, I was giddy.
The casting sounds great on paper.
