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?
Cookies and a movie
Recently I’ve become the house cookies baker. My mom doesn’t bake stuff ’cuz she eats it on the way (I never got the raw-dough eaters) and since we’re a “healthy” family (diet pepsi healthy, not energy shake healthy) no one’s a big cookie eater. Except for me. I’m a cookie monster, a white one. My dad can eat 1 or 2 cookies a day with his coffee and say he ate too much… oh yeah, a real crazy eater. I, however, can eat 10 cookies and feel it’s not enough. I tend to bake cookies in the weekend, when the siblings come and take some back to their homes. Since I try not to eat 10 cookies a day on a regular basis, the cookies tend to dry out before we eat the majority of them and then it’s just like eating a rock with sugar and chocolate. Not that it keeps me away from those rocks, but it doesn’t taste THAT good.
I have a silly dream to actually take a baking class so I’ll know how to make GREAT cookies and not just average. And then, obviously since I don’t have a big cookie-crowd I’ll open a bakery of some sort and sell it to people. Unfortunately, those classes costs way too much, and that money already went for 3 years of actual academic education. But when I really think about it, it’s hard to see what communication and film studies will really bring me in life. It’s nice to take classes about Back to the Future and all, but how will that make me money? Wow, if I could make money from film and tv watching, I’d be a billionaire. A zillionaire. Can’t someone make that happen?
An ideal future will be combining cookies and film somehow. I’ll bake the cookies and screen films in my cute little bakery. I won’t just download them, I’ll buy DVDs and show special dvd features. How’s that for a money making idea. Since I can’t direct (and have no will to do so), and no one taught me how to write a screenplay (which I did have a will to do) and my communication skills suck ass, that seems like a good solution. I’ll just bake my cookies, listen to my kind of music (in the back room) and in the front room people will enjoy the Back to the Future trilogy or a Buffy marathon. Or perhaps my shop will have private booths and each will have an LCD (probably LED since it’s my dream and it should be perfect) that shows a different program for every group of people. And since my third love is dogs, I’ll have trained pups in the shop, who’ll be handing out change or something. But most importantly, there’ll be cookies allll over the place. Maybe, even cakes! And muffins. And cupcakes. And doughnuts. Yum yum I like my imaginary diabetes factory!
