Curiouser and curiouser

Johnny Depp was magnificent in Alice in Wonderland, as usual. A treat to watch, in 3D.

As expected, a Goth treatment of this Lewis Caroll classic. Updated, ironically, in the form of a modern sequel with flashbacks. Tim Burton has a tragi-comic goth eye for everything.





Expect nuances of Edward Scissorshand to come through Depp's performance. Deliciously dark and insanely sober, he is, as the Mad Hatter.

Incidently, Simon mentioned that there is such a thing a mad hatter. They discovered that hatters of the past went mad after breathing in the toxic fumes of mercury found in the lining of hats.




Off with his head!
