Movie round up

[mimesh]

Has anybody seen Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland yet? I had mixed feelings after watching it. While it was overall entertaining and had some beautiful visuals and a few (but not enough) Burtonesque trademark characters, it lacked the magic many of his earlier works had. The technical possibilities didn't really work in his favor. But Johnny was

the lost boys is aces! i remember, wow at some point totally reading slash about the brothers? it was great...and possibly my first incest ship ever, though the fandom was tiny and i think really there was maybe like, one writer that i read? this was back when fandom was still on mailing lists and i guess incest was slightly more taboo?

i've not seen it in years, i fear that all the magic will be lost! perhaps that should be next on our list of re-watches. ahh, i might have been thirteen-fourteen when i first watched it, i don't know, but it was one of the first movies that i truly loved for mood more than anything else? and no omg not the frog brothers ew. sammy/michael, yes, mostly here, i really enjoyed audrey lemon's works - i think i read her first on that mailing list i mentioned, i'm glad it's still on the internet, things tend to go missing often times!

(...i feel i should warn? i don't know how old sammy is? if i'm not wrong the brothers aren't that far apart in ages, but they're both in high school when it starts, so yes, warning!)

dude seriously i remember reading some of this when i was pretty young myself? so sammy's age didn't even register to me as being anything wrong? i just re-read it and it seems pretty wrong now, though it's pretty much coded as unhealthy and mostly as a result of what happened to them with the vampires. what a difference a decade makes though! ah, A. just reminded me that Corey Haim died. :( sniffs. we are going to do a lost boys re-watch on behalf of him. and maybe some other terrible teen movies as well.

(i love whomever made that icon so much it's amazing.)

I love Johnny Depp, but personally I found his portrayal of Willy Wonka positively disturbing, and I'm not quite ready to watch him be all 'zany/creepy' again.I had a similar reaction to his Willy Wonka but the Mad Hatter struck a chord with me although he looked even more disturbing. I would almost go as far as say that the hatter was more human. Ahaha and I suspect it might just be me who got that romantic vibe, at least I haven't seen anybody else commenting on it, so don't take my word for it
