Alice in Wonderland
 

Anyone going to see it? I'm going to go tomorrow to see it for my birthday.(hint hint) I actually don't really know about it besides what I've seen from the previews and the KH game. xD I'm just following with all the hype.

Might be seeing it...

i am!

sister is seeing it today

I have no desire to see another Burton/Depp rehash.

I'm gonna see it with my sister :P

I kinda wanna see it. But I have a feeling its one of those movies that is really really short, uneventful, just all about its creative look and Johnny pulling off a rather nice convincing look, but it just doesn't go anywhere. And the only reason it becomes a big hit is because of all the teens that love it and buy into the products that Hot Topics sells =D

I really don't want them to mess it up, I mean the whole idea of Alice returning and like, the violence? Eh >_> I watched Alice in Wonderland a looong time ago but I don't remember any real violence, just that whoever drew it was really high and drew what they saw xDDD A caterpillar was smokin' hooka lol

The book is actually fairly dark. Are you thinking of the Disney version?

i just got back from seeing it with some friends...

=/... eh it was ok. i hated the personality thay made for Alice though.

it seemed kinda... meh idk. like i said... it was OK... ~.~ not that good imo though...

i really liked the hatter though xD

Actually, there WAS a sequel to alice in wonderland in which alice returned to a world similar to wonderland. It's called "Through the Lookinglass" or something like that.

Also, the idea of alice returning to a more violent wonderland is pretty well explored. American McGee, anyone?

I heard it wasn't the best, but I'll probably still see it anyway too. Looks pretty crazy. :)

It was also explored, rather well, in the mini-series Alice. How can you not like a movie with Kathy Bates, Tim Curry, and Harry Dean Stanton?

/loved it

Oh right... Happy Birthday, AP

It was ok I guess.


Wouldn't have wanted to pay to see it in cinema though.

Thankyoux]

I'm going to see it today:O I'm pretty more easily amused then you guys so I'll probably like itxD

I meant to watch that, and despite how much they advertised it, I missed it.

I just came back from it..

It wasn't too bad IMO.. kinda got a bit slow at the end.. but it was nice seeing characters that I more or less recognised and how burton kinda added characters to them.. (I don't remember much from the original story..)

I suppose it's one of those movies that if you go in with high expectations you'll be disappointed, but if you didn't expect much then you'll enjoy it.. xD

^That happened to me with 9. Expected it to be epic, but it was very, very scarce with plot. Mainly just visuals...

I thought the movie was really good. There are still some parts I'm confused about but overall really good movie!

They've got a really heavy accent and I missed half the conversations (esp the whispers) XD

But that's just me..

You're Australian though xD

To me Brits and Aussies are so alike accent wise LOL

Really? It sounds really different to me xD And well my English listening skills arent great.. so even in Aussie accent I sometimes miss stuff HAHA that's just the Chinese side of me mucking around with my ears...

Haha. Well, I don't have that problem xP

I kinda wanna see Repo Man when it comes out! It's like the same theme as Repo: The Genetic Opera BUT... Jude Law is in it.. it looks funnier and a bit more gross in some ways~

The Australian accent is fairly distinct. Their vowels tend to be of differing lengths than the English, that and the usage of r's. Then again, I can distinguish several of the regional UK dialects, i.e. Yorkshire, Received Pronunciation (BBC), Geordie, etc.

Accents and regional dialects have always interested me, but not enough to actually study linguistics in any sort of real capacity.

The British tone is very different from ours...

"Are we there yet?"

They would raise their tone for "there" to a higher pitch and lower it for "yet"

while we do the opposite (lower for "there", higher for "yet")

Or at least that's how I thought we would sound xD

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Without using actual phenome marks (which hardly anyone knows), the final word would sound like "yit" instead of "yet". And the r's would be that sort of weak-r sound the Aussies love. Instead of "are" being a hard, pirate-like "r" (as I would use) it would be more like "aaaah".

You guys. You aren't going to change what I hear o-o So telling me all the technical stuff doesn't mean jack to me XD

Aussies and Brits.. at least all the actors I have heard sound a like for me.

All it takes is exposure and knowing the differences that way you can pay attention to them.

But I don't really care to?

Ah, well then. No helping that, I suppose.

The girl in Alice in Wonderland is Aussie, but she used a British accent in the movie, so that's not Aussie accent.. if that's wat you were thinking..

XD reading Hrae's post in Aussie accent doesn't work LOL

I would love to learn a bit about phenome marks but it I dont think I'll remember it all..

Do Australians put emphasis on their T's like English people do? Americans don't, at least when it's in the middle of speech.

Like my name... Katie. In America, most people would pronounce it Kay-dee without the intention of using a D. While English people will actually say Kay-Tee.

^ I don't really think so.

I KNOW! I watched that too and I was so disappointed. When the movie ended, I was like, "what? is that it?" I only liked some of the song parts and that's about it...


... and I didn't know there were Alice in Wonderland books LMAO!! I only know of the Disney version >_> which really sucked.

I want to watch princess and the frog =[[[[[[[[[[[[

Really? Lol. That's one reason why people hate Disney. Everyone see's all of its movies as the originals. A lot of Disney's movies are ripped from the The Brothers Grimm. Although Alice is by Lewis Caroll, not The Brothers Grimm, that was just an example.

Haha yeah. Well.. I'm not really the type of person that looks for original versions or take much notice of them.. mostly cos I'm kinda too lazy to care for it hahaha.

Like.. even though I know that lion king ripped off kimba the white lion, I still like the movie anyway x) except it's not like I'll do things to support it or whatever hahaha.

Disney's BS because it recycles old, tired plots over and over again, and tries to pass them off as new ones.

Oh. And because of the dub of Ponyo. I will never forgive them for that.

I would say that we do.. we do slack off on our words... (Kay-tdee)

tube is not prononced with a T sound, more like prnoticed with a Ch sound..

like You-Chube, and test-chube.. xD
