Mad-Hatter desktop, you’re a keeper.
OH, MY GOD.
Alice in Wonderland is soooooo cool! And awesome! And perfect! And funny! Beautiful! Scary! Mad! Tim Burton at his best! It takes a lot to impress me, and I came with huge expectations to the screening, and for once, it was actually worth it! How often does a really magical movie gets made? I’ll tell you how often! Everytime Tim, Johnny and Helena are signed on it!
Johnny Depp was as genius as the actor he always is. Helena was mean in the best way possible. Matt Lucas brings the lols everytime he’s on screen, whether it’s TV or film. Alan Rickman has the best evil/stoned voice ever. And the aesthetics! And the dark and insane subtext! And the freakish paleness of the characters! And the beautiful soundtrack. Tim Burton is my hero. Yeah Quentin, step aside. Tim is my favorite non-Oscar-winner-director-who-must-win-some-gold men-or-life-achievement-award.
I did a paper about Tim Burton on my first year in uni. Gosh now when I look back at it, it seems so underrating of Mr. Burton. I’m just so excited about his movies. The darkness motive that he blends with great aesthetics, whether it’s colorful suburbia in Edward Scissorhands or actual darkness as in Sweeney Todd. He’s a dark weirdo himself and there’s always some intense insanity or some distortion in his movies. I like it. A lot.
Some people make fun of his style and the bromance with Johnny (or as Tim’s kids know him: The Godfather). I think it makes the most wonderful, aesthetically magnificent and content-wise deep, movies ever made.
Now he’s working on a full version of the 1984′s Frankenweenie. In the meanwhile, I’m planning to watch Alice the second time in the cinema, something I never did. I watch movies over and over and over and over (you get the point) again, but by illegal ways (mmhmm). This time the 3D blew my mind and I wanna pay for it! Yeah that’s how much respect I have. In the meanwhile, I’m planning the find a store that actually has the following tee’s. I was in one before the movie, hoping to be the fanatic that dresses up especially for the movie. However I didn’t find what I wanted:
I want it all! I want it all! And I want it now.
Also, I want a mad hatter spin-off. I’m sure Tim can make up some fascinating biography and the character already got the mental issues, so he can totally star in his own epic movie. Won’t that be delicious?
