"This Watch is Exactly Two Days Slow."


Life has been a very strange and unsettling place for me during the past couple of months, kinda like falling through the Rabbit Hole and never quite hitting the bottom. In related news, and on a happier note, Tim Burton is shooting his version of "Alice in Wonderland" in Cornwall, England at this very moment. Using what Burton did with Batman as a reference, I cannot WAIT to see this. Unfortunately, it comes out in 2010. Lindsay Lohan really wanted the part of Alice, but (thank God) she lost it to some Australian wench. The flick will feature, among others, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and the best news of all...Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter! It's supposed to be a rather dark version of the role, which both Johnny and Burton are amazing at constructing. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite books and movies, and this looks like it's gonna be GOOD. Check out a mock up of Depp as the Mad Hatter below. What do you think? Will you go and see this?

Yes, yes, and yes!

Anne Hathaway is my new Hollywood love. And Johnny Depp is the second best actor under 50 of our time (1st? Robert Downey, Jr.).

I can't wait.

YAY...I love Alice in Wonderland. The only children's movie that shows a caterpiller can smoke weed while sitting on a mushroom and a drunken tea party with a rabbit and the mad hatter all hopped up on speed. The Rabbit is a little annoying though, isn't he? And that stalker cheshire (sp?) cat too. Johnny Depp is the shit but his Mad Hatter costume makes him look a little like a crack head, doesn't it? Either way Tim Burton is the shit so I can't wait for it.
