saitainaAnyone who knows me, knows I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland fan. I'm also a huge Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fan.
...so why does the idea of these two things together make me want to vomit?
Probably because I knew from the START that it would be a mess. A giant, annoying, WRONG mess. And oh look, it is.
Tim Burton REALLY should have left Disney alone and played with the American McGee version. It's dark, it's insane, it's his style! But touching the beloved CHILDREN'S classic and doing that to it. No thank you.
Though, I am torn, if just for the fact Anne Hathaway is in it. My goddess! Though, not much of an opinion on her acting since she's uh...not in the tailer.
Though Sherlock Holmes... *cackles*
Very Holmesy, though with far more comedy then should be proper. And I'm quite annoyed at them aging the characters down...I'm quite sure Watson was older then whomever's playing him...and fatter.
AND WHY IS THERE A BLOODY WOMAN IN THE MOVIE! No, not the blond, the little tart.
...and this trailer would make much more sense if Arsene Lupin was the villain, seriously. If you watch it with that mind frame, perfect sense. Some crap ass vampire plot (no, I haven't actually looked up what the hell's going on yet), does not. That would require less comedy and more seriousness.
At least Watson has a backbone...and oh, the tart was Irene, guess she can stay then. Would have prefered Moriarty as the villain though.
Edit: ODOT is a dumbass... For the past ten years we've been involved in a very annoying project called, appropriately, the Oregon Bridge Project, which destroys/rebuilds and/or fixes the bridges of Oregon. Ten. Years. And now the latest study says that if we have an earthquake, 400 bridges will collapse and 600 will be damaged.
WTF have we been repairing for ten years?!
