watched Alice in Wonderland, the Johnny Depp version

Feb 02, 2012 12:52

I dislike that it's called Alice in Wonderland, I thought it should be called Return to Wonderland, as that is what it technically is, like the nightmare-inducing Return to Oz movie. Which I loved by the way... The visuals and colors were nice, the story not half bad, but for all of the things that did work for me, there were an equal number that didn't work, didn't gel, didn't seem to fit. Just lacked that something that not even Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter could add.

Oh man, can't wait for the next Game of Thrones season. The clips in the trailer looked fantastically torrid. I've been bad about watching TV shows, it's sad that I haven't watched the latest season of Sherlock, and that I'm only up to date with Criminal Minds reruns, but I will make an exception for Game of Thrones.

It feels weird not being in any fandom anymore. Or rather, just lurking instead of saying anything. I want to create, always, attempt to make friends, be well-known if not popular, but I don't want the crap that comes with fandom involvement, either, the petty bitching and fighting and drama. That just reminds me of real life and I'm like, uh, I want to be in fandom to avoid real life, guys. I guess I want the benefits of being a fellow fan of something, without suffering any of the drawbacks.

Am I not a geek anymore? Has adult life sucked the quirkiness out of me? Or have I always not been fun and now I've realized it? I think the latter.
