Christmas cheer coming out of my ass

[cranberrysheep]

First, the bad news. I parked on the street in front of my house Friday night. Saturday morning I go out and discover some jackass has sideswiped my car in the early hours, busted my driver-side mirror, and ran. No note, nothing. So now I am out $450 for brand new mirror and the labor needed to reinstall it. Plus, I won’t get it until after

I was glad that not anyone was really batshit crazy in Alice, because the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland itself kind of screwed with my brain. x_x;; But I think it might have been changed just because it's so far in the future from the original? I don't know what that has to do with anything but it might be a factor? Idk. XD;;

Hey, people who are diehard fans of the story have the Tim Burton version next year to look forward to? :) (I myself won't be watching it myself because 1) I don't like Tim Burton or Helena Bonham Carter or the combination of Burton + Depp + Carter, and 2) I kinda really loved SyFy's Alice and I can already imagine people falling in love with Burton's and no. Just. No. x_x)

[cranberrysheep]

Burton's version is going to take place in the future as well, I believe. It's the story of Alice going back to Wonderland when she is older. I am hoping for the best when it comes to Tim Burton, he's done some films I just love (Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to name a few)

Oh! I remember reading that, yeah. It doesn't look to be that much in the future? In SyFy's Alice, it was about 150 years in the future, whereas in Burton's, it's only a few years? Idk. My brain's kinda fried atm. x_x

I've only ever liked Big Fish (which I never... finished... >>), but I have high hopes for Burton fans anyway. :3

Oh man, that SUCKS! I would have totally cried if that had happened to me! >.> I hope it gets fixed fast!

I am like almost finished with the Christmas shopping. I feel like there is only just a few more things to get and then I'm golden. Wrapping is an entirely seperate hurdle, that on top of getting the house visitor-ready.

I was really 'meh' about Alice. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of the series to begin with but I was kinda dissapointed that the same people who made Tin Man feel so unique took the same format & made Alice feel utterly trite. It was basically the same plot, excepting of course they gave us some romantic resolution (much appreciated there). Yeah, Hatter was adorable but unfortunately Primeval is definitely boooooring!

Hope you have a very Merrrrrry Christmas! :D

OH I CRIED. I stood there for a little while just staring at it and then... waterworks.

RE: Alice. It could have been a lot better. They really did take some chances by really changing things. I kind of loved the reveal with Alice's dad, but I hated the idea of squeezing emotions from people. The inhabitants of Wonderland are chock full of emotion, TOO MUCH, in fact... so I didn't really like that.

There really isn't much to the plot of Alice in Wonderland beyond Alice dealing with a bunch of crazies, so you take the crazies away and then what do you have left?

How is it possible to make a show about dinosaurs BORING? I don't get it!

[jennekohan]

Oh no that's horrible! : ( I can't believe how rotten some people are that someone could do that and just run off. I hope you are able to get it fixed soon.

I taped Alice, but still haven't gotten around to watching it yet. The Alice x Hatter thing always creeped me out. And did you hear that Brittaney Murphy from Clueless died the other day? : (

It was such an asshole move. It had to have been a drunk, since I live down the street from two bars. I can only hope that the universe will repay them for their misdeeds. DX

I hope you like Alice, for all my complaints I did enjoy it. I don't think it was spectacular or anything, but it kept me entertained. It's always nice to see something that someone put some imagination into.

I DID! I couldn't believe it when I saw the news on my homepage. It's so sad. From what I'm hearing she was known to have a drug problem which no doubt contributed to her heart attack.

[gentleluver]

you have a good attitude about the asshole who swiped your car. I'll send out my own karma waves and hope the loser gets bitten in the ass soon.

[cranberrysheep]

Excellent. Thank you for the karmic support!

[jiayi]

I heart Community too! Joel McHale - sexy beast, y/y?

And wtf to the sideswipper. Sounds like your insurance won't cover the damages?

[cranberrysheep]

You speak the truth! Though, the majority of my heart goes to Abed and Troy.

Nope. They kept asking me if I had any idea who did it, and I wish I did. As it is, it all falls under my deductible so I'm up shit creek. :(
