1. I was thinking 'how awful that America sacrificed abortion coverage for their health reform!' Then I remembered Ireland doesn't even HAVE legal abortion. Duh ( Read more... )

1. Yes it sucks, it's reform but a very crippled program. I don't expect it to fix anything quickly or at all. And the abortion part s*cks. But at least is a step in the right direction. The U.S. system right now is so broken, it's painful.

2. I disliked the White Queen more than Alice. And that terrible predictable plot, I wanted to gag at the ending. I couldn't figure out for the life of my why she NEEDED to go home. At least the visuals were enjoyable. BUT Alice in Wonderland at least HAD a female lead. Not one of the previews I watched did, and I commented on it to my husband at the time.

I don't think I could work in the system the way it is, having grown up with and learned socialised medicine. Maybe now I can!

I wanted the White Queen to have a creepy backstory - I mean, she did experiments with dead men's fingers! I felt way more empathy with the Red Queen. Most of us just want to be loved.

I have no idea what Alice's motivation for anything was. How did a semi-hallucinatory experience help her decide to run a company, for example? What?

I assume you mean non-romcom films, because they tend to always have female leads.

2. Oh yes at the wardrobe. I want that red dress so badly. <3 <3

I was thinking more of the first flouncy blue one (HOW was it so flouncy?!) but yes, I also earmarked that red one. :D

I'm guessing a fuckton of underskirts, haha. :)

I APPROVE OF ALL THE THINGS THIS POST CONTAINS.

I didn't enjoy Alice very much, either. :(

EXCEPT FOR THE LACK OF JOHNNY WEIR, I ASSUME (which I shortly hope to remedy!).

That was the worst part. I can forgive a lot if I enjoy a film, but this dragged. *sadface*

Alice in Wonderland was terrible! There was so much that could have been done better and !!! I didn't even feel like the plot was explained particularly well. I did love her dresses too!

Ugh, and what was with making up stupid incomprehensible names for things that didn't need naming, like the 'Eat Me' or the Dormouse? SOOOOOOOO FANFICCY.

I hated this Alice in Wonderland. IT HAD PLOT.
THE BOOKS NEVER REALLY HAD A COHERENT OR LOGICAL PLOT-THING. THEN TIM BURTON GAVE IT A PLOT AND HISTORY AND STORY AND that really wasn't the way to do. it just gives it a wanna-be cliche thing. DD8

I didn't think of it this way, but yes! Or I would have been interested in seeing a backwards version - like, Alice from Wonderland who stumbles into our world and forgets where she came from. That's what the initial characterisation seemed to suggest, from the way everyone reacted weirdly to her. In conclusion: fail.
