At Last

At last.

The moment I've been waiting for since last summer.

I saw Alice in Wonderland the moment it came out.

And am thus operating on three hours of sleep.

But it was so worth it.

It was like, everyone I love, plus every Tim Burton stereotype, plus a lot of sexy voices and pretty animation, all rolled into one dazzling film.

But let's focus on my favorite bits, shall we?

1. Helena. Oh, Helena. She is the perfect Red Queen. And the Red Queen is a perfect character. I actually legitimately pitied her, but that could just be my I-love-Helena bias. But she was definitely one of those characters that you love to hate.

2. Johnny. He's known for the insane roles, but the Mad Hatter may have been the most insane of them all. Equal parts funny, sweet, scary, and sad, with an impeccable sense of dress and makeup.

3. I was pretty attracted to the Cheshire Cat. His voice was so smooth and sexy. And whenever he showed up, the scene just got a lot cooler. Same goes for Tweedledee and Tweedledum; they were comic relief in a not-annoying way, plus they had cool accents.

4. Alan Rickman as the caterpillar? His voice is ideal for everything.

5. Crispin Glover's character, Stayne, was also pretty wonderful.

6. Wonderland! I mean, I'm not one of those people who are really into well-animated things, but all the scenery was gorgeous. And very Burton-y.

7. I just this second found out that Timothy Spall was in it, as Bayard. I do love him too.

8. I know Tim has a habit of casting the EXACT SAME PEOPLE in all of his movies, but it was acutally a good thing because each actor was so indisputably right for their role. Which reminds me...

9. Anne Hathaway. I'm kind of in love with her. She was too funny as the White Queen, and a perfect balance with Helena's craziness.

10. The whole bit with the Jabberwocky. First of all, I loved Johnny's sexycreepy recitation of the classic Jabberwocky poem. I'm also a fan of the Jabberwocky's unexpectedly nice voice, courtesy of Christopher Lee.

In conclusion, everything was just so right, because Tim Burton is amazing, and I loved it.

P.S. MPAA says that Alice is rated PG for "fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar." XD

Off With Her Head!

There is no limit to the amount of times I'm going to mention Alice In Wonderland, is there?
At any rate, I bought my tickets today.
And it's really exciting. :D
And since I don't have the energy to write anything, please enjoy this picture of Helena Bonham Carter and her gorgeous crazy hair.

Mad As A Hatter

Just bought myself this ultragorgeous Alice In Wonderland themed book of shadows by Urban Decay, in celebration of the upcoming movie premiere. (It's over a month away, but still. I need to be prepared.) I'm very excited to use it, but I'm also content just looking at it...

Wonderful-land.

I saw the latest trailer for Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. I basically just got heart palpitations, my hands shook, my chest felt tight, I got a headache, and I had to go run around. I think I almost fangirl-ed myself to death. I need to learn not to watch these things when I'm home alone. I would post a link to the trailer, but I feel like that's copyright infringement or something. I had to quickly download the video to my iPod before Youtube deleted it. In conclusion, I am way too excited for March 5th. Midnight showing, baby. My aunt also bought me an ultra-fabulous Mad Hatter necklace, so I'll be wearing that.
