Yeah, I thought it looked like doodie all the way along. From the get go, I was saying 'What's with this business about being a teenager and going back? Why not just do it straight?'

dude. saw this movie this weekend. fuggin' train wreck. he completely misses the point, and mystery, of the novels. shoehorning in some ludicrous story about alice slaying the jabberwocky with some dumb sword. worst johnny depp performance, yet. dumb made up words. and don't get me started on 'fudderwhacking'. there are some pretty images, but the illustrations in the novels are beautiful. overall, a very disappointing movie. i thought this was ideal for tim burton, but it's a mess.

hype? we've both seen the proof in the poodin'. beetlejuice is no fluff. that's a solid story and fantastically delivered. besides all that, though, i feel the pt anderson love. but, i'd love to see burton's version more. maybe if he'd adapted american mcgee's 'alice in wonderland'. then, of course, there's marilynn manson's proposed directorial debut regarding lewis carroll's life…

but, give me a break, tim burton is a rock star. you'd love to be involved with the maestro…

In the immortal words of Public Enemy: Don't.... Don't, don't, don't.... Don't believe the hype!!

Big Fish, Ed Wood, I quite like those. So I like Tim Burton when he's not doing his signature Tim Burton thing. Frankenweenie, haven't seen it. Beetlejuice, funny but fluff. Pee Wee's bi Adventure is more of a classic than BeetleJuice. And Batman?? Serious? Spider-Man 2 all day.

but nothing can Fuck with Edward Scissorhands. That's Tim Burton doing Tim Burton and he will never top it.

As crazy as it may sound, you know who I think would do a terrific job of Alice in Wonderland? PT Anderson.

well, to be fair, his version is more of a melding of the two stories. alice is returned to wonderland, after her initial visit, to save the place from the red queen. that's why she's older. and, while i understand the style over substance argument, he's made too many masterpieces to be maligned: frankenweenie, beetlejuice, scissorhands, batman (i'll argue till the day i die that it's the greatest comic book movie ever made, given the time and place it was made in and it's influence on every other comic film made after), ed wood (brilliant. seen it like thirty times.), nightmare before christmas, sleepy hollow (gets better with each viewing), the list goes on. he's misfired, for sure, but give credit where it's due. who else even approaches his style? i'd rather watch his worst film than some filmmakers best films. and, c'mon, who better to bring 'alice in wonderland' to the screen? i'm excited…

now that it's officially out in the open, I think we'll be OK. Glad you liked it…. but the Tron Legacy trailer is where it's at now!!
