Finally made it to see Alice In Wonderland....
(Beautiful fx...Once again, I have a usually well-buried wish that I were the Cheshire cat come to surface, and I love Depp's Mad Hatter, but there are a few things in the storyline that left me unsatisfied, but what the hey, it was still worth the price). I left the theater contemplating the nature of heroic quests and coming of age stories, and gender roles. I could write an essay, but I'm too lazy to do it.
First time I've been to a 3D film in an Imax...That part was fun, but my eyes ache now...eyestrain? Or just spring allergies? Not sure...Anyway, a day passed pleasantly....

My mom was very into the coming-of-age girl's story and the rewriting of Disneyfied girlypower into something stronger.
I kept falling in plotholes and the Bonham Carter and Depp excess. Enoyed it, though, to be sure, especially Fry's Cat.
I took a four hour nap after posting this thread...I can tell I am NOT used to watching movies any more (I think the last movie I actually watched in a theater was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which shows you how often I bust through the inertia and actually go out for film), and the fact this was Imax 3D didn't help...but my eyes feel much better.
Hubby and I've spent some time talking about why we felt slightly dissatisfied with the movie, even while loving much about it...and we got onto meta concepts about storytelling and the story receiver...kind of cool, considering he doesn't get into literary level analysis very often...
I also thought Wasikowski (sp?) did a fabulous job as Alice. I was a bit worried when I read some negative reviews about her performance, but she made it believable for me.
Anne Hathaway was a bit much, though, I thought. :/ I think she would've been better had she toned it down just a tad.
And I was in the same eye-boat when I left; had a headache for a few hours afterward. Damn 3D, but it was spectacular, at least.
He is teh awesome. ♥
I feel like I"m looking at KK's journal. lol It confuses me.
Oh, wait. I am. *facepalm* Such a dork.

I heard good things, and it's nice to hear you second them!
