( Cut for spoilers. Trust me, (LynnOxford, you spoiler queen) you don't want to read this if you haven't seen the movie. It won't be interesting if you haven't seen the movie, anyway, and you'll regret it if you ever do go see it. )

:sulks: Okay, okay, I'll hold off until I see it.

The movie review I'm reading now says that Terry Gilliam did a version of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. I hadn't ever heard of this before, but I have been instantly possessed with the need to see it.

Well, it will ruin the movie, and you should see the movie so we can discuss it. It's a sort of sequel to Labyrinth.

Oh, I knew you would say that. *struggles* Well, okay. I don't feel the need to see it twice (this does not mean I didn't enjoy it, by the way, because I did) but if that's the only way you'll see it...

It's only playing at Kendall, though.

I haven't read any of the above cut at all, nor have I seen the movie . . .

But I'm considering the movie; perhaps you can put some sort of general "I liked it" "I loved it" "It was worth seeing" etc on the front page? That way those of us who are on the fence can get some input.

Well, what's causing you to hesitate?

I don't much like spending money on movies unless I know I'm going to like the experience.

Or to put it more bluntly: I'm cheap, movies aren't, and seeing them in theaters is rarely three or four times better than seeing them at home. So I need a good reason to go see movies in theaters, especially if I'd be going alone.

Hmmm. Well, in my mind, the main difference between in-theatre and at-home is the size of the screen and therefore the visuals. So. When you decide, consider that Dave McKean is the artist for the movie, and that he has the resources of not only computer generated things but also the Creature Shop. The visuals are gorgeous; though you do get a decent sense of this from the trailer, I believe, so if you haven't seen the trailer yet, that might be a good way to decide.

I still think the Dark Queen wasn't unambiguously evil in the end-- but we can continue the debate later. :)

Am looking forward to it!
