March 5

So, I turned 15 on March 5th, and celebrated and congratulated myself by watching Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton. Hmm. Words cannot describe how awestruck I was (in a neutral way by putting my fingers beneath my chin and making a "tsk tsk" noise). So okay, I recognized a lot of actors I've seen in many other movies, this guy who destroys jane austen's love life is Hamish (the one who proposes under the gazebo), a creeper version of Willy Wonka is Stayne, Knave of Hearts, and the whole usual motley crew of Tim Burton. He's up to his own tricks, by having a mouse stabbing an eyeball and pushing it out (I KNOW IN A PG-13 MOVIE!! *sarcasm noted*) and dead head stepping stones which familiarly reminded me of Lord of the Rings films. Pretty much all the travelers needed was a Gollum/Smeagol. Oh right, then, Johnny Depp (amazing!) pretty much had to do this hip hop, jazzy fiddle in the middle of a war field. It would've been nice if he actually danced groovily, but unfortunately, technology destroyed the humor. His torso turns clockwise as his bottom turns the opposite, accompanied by a random funk music.
Everything was fantastical, the graphics, the whole destroyed wonderland scene, but Tim Burton could've created a master piece plot. I guess that didn't really happen.
And what happened to the crazy 3D effects that started from the 90s? 2000? Coraline, Avatar, Alice in Wonderland had what you called '3D', but now, they aren't as popping. I could feel the dimensions changing, but I didn't have the urge to reach out my arms to touch whatever would fall in front of myself. Even Spy Kids 3 had better immature 3D-ness. I might be wrong in this matter because that movie I saw when I was in grade 3. Perspectives change!
Well, besides all my negative comments, I loved the fashion of Alice, played by Mia Wasikowska.

Dress looks very suspiciously nice.

About the acupuncture thing; it's a sin? I thought it was poking needles at your body to lose tensions. Radically incorrect I would suppose to some "faithful" people.

I'm having those movie marathons, watched this and that, oh and this one too. Well, I just watched three, and that is Alice in Wonderland, The Lovely Bones, and a whole season of Ugly Betty, which is so funny makes my stomach want to hurl itself onto the floor. I love fashion, but it's funny to see a comedy mock up version of it. Too bad the show's going to be canceled. At home, we don't have cable or a TV, so I have to get in scoop with the world online, which suits me.
I should probably reading; (my book list)-> Notre Dame, Re-read The Lovely Bones, Catcher in the Rye, and this book where a dog is upside down by a mister Haddon.

For a birthday present, I am excited to receive a sewing machine plus three cds. Catch you later. Entertain yourself by watching this. So much for Alice in Wonderland Infatuation.
