Ah, you had me excited for a while there. Some of the footage in this is from "American McGee's Alice", a suberb video game in which Alice is in a Madhouse after the loss of her parents in a fire and she has to fight her way back through a warped version of wonderland in order to regain her sanity.

Unfortunately IMDB's synopsis of the Burton movie shows it to be a completely different project.

You got me also. I went to FRONT ROW and saw there was nothing there. Then went back to Youtube and noticed it was fan made. But it is coooool.

Yeah. It won't load.

Disney, in a fit of mondo dumb, made Youtube (and now IGN it seems) take down the trailer. That will be public tomorrow. Because you know, it always helps to piss people off.

What part of "free advertising" do they not understand?

Well, I saw it, and it was creepy and nothing like the book, and the Mad Hatter is overplayed because Johnny Depp, but whatever, it looks good. It's just not that Alice. But if I ever need that Alice, I'll go read the book again.

I have already checked ebay and there are none being offered. Imagine what they could do with promotional materials for HOBBIT.

We wants it, preciousss...

All that thought and attention to detail put into designing something sent out to people who won't necessarily appreciate it....

Will have to keep an eye on Ebay from now on...

Well Elen, if it comes down to that I am prepared to go toe to toe and outbid you for this book(s). I will be even happy to give you some friendly advice on insider bidding tips. For example, most people do not know that when the bidding time ends, you still have five minutes to get in a bid which tops the "winner". So its best to wait for the official time to end and then log on to bid.

If you need any more ebay tips, I will be more than happy to oblige.

Tim Burton's new film version of Alice in Wonderland will not be screened at Odeon cinemas in the UK, Irish Republic and Italy, the cinema chain says.

The move is in response to the Disney studio's plan to reduce the period in which it can be shown only in cinemas from the standard 17 weeks.

The plan would allow Disney to release the film on DVD at the end of May.

Odeon said it would "set a new benchmark, leading to a 12-week window becoming rapidly standard".

So....this premieres today....is anyone rushing out to see it?

Sadly, I will have to wait until next weekend to get to a 3D viewing....

I never rush into these things.

Awesome smiley.

Our Oz is 13 today and he wants to see this movie, so we'll give it a try.

Post by **vison** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 5:35 pm

The movie did nothing for me, although Oz liked it.

The review from someone on TORC wasn't exactly encouraging:

Spoiler!
[quote:] I just saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D and..... ARRRGGGGGHHHH.

I am now solidly against the Hobbit being in 3D. Alice was totally mutilated! It was almost as if the plot didn't matter. In the attempt to make Alice a stronger female character, they have her slaying the Jabberwocky. To put a love interest, they have her and Mad HAtter being attracted to each other. To put some social relevance, the Red Queen is now a despot and the Knave is her henchman. All the charm and silliness is gone!

Don't they dare do this to the Hobbit!

But what does that have to do with 3D? If they're going to mutilate the story, they will in 2D just as unconscionably.
