DO NOT WATCH TIM BURTON’S ALICE IN WONDERLAND

September 17, 2010 by David Barr Kirtley 2 Comments

DO NOT WATCH TIM BURTON’S ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Learn from my mistake. Holy crap, it’s truly ghastly. It’s absolute torture to sit through. Seriously, everyone involved with this travesty is late for a very important date with my fist.

    Huh, I thought that it kept a sense of the original book fairly well while. It seemed like rather than the Alice in Wonderland books, which are sometimes seen as a progression of a child to adolescence, the movie was supposed to mimic the progression of a teen to adulthood (Alice’s repeated questioning of herself and events playing a part in both Tim Burton movie and the book).

    That said, some of it was really disappointing, like heading off to China, which just didn’t go well all around and is sort of a bad way to end any movie. Opium Wars, anyone? The resistant plot was also a little contrived.

He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
