Tim Burton Can't Do Much....

[sailorgaia]

...to make Alice in Wonderland Burton-esq because I personally feel much of his style is ganked from the depths of those novels anyway. This fact is shown quite clearly in the photos that keep coming out.::pauses for you to catch your breath after staring into the deadlights that are Johnny Depp's eyes

There is actually quite a bit you can do with just the free version of lj. There are several communities that specialize in free layouts. I would have been just fine sticking with that, but I wanted the extra icons and to get rid of the ads. They were driving me up a wall.

That picture of Alice in front of the mushrooms looks really cool. I'd never classify myself as an Alice in Wonderland fan, I've never read the books, but I do enjoy the movies and even was the Duchess in the play version. I have a feeling, however, that what I enjoy about those versions would wear thin in novel form. There is only so much wackiness I can stand before it becomes tiresome.

I'm really enjoying Who Are You?. I was worried that Young In was going to drive me crazy because she was such a brat, but she shaped up pretty quickly.

Thanks for giving me the idea about the free communities. I think (looking at your layout) we ganked our current themes from the same place! :D

I don't think reading Alice In Wonderland is the necessity experience that the world has made it out to be. The novels are mediocre at best--he should have stuck with poetry, IMHO. But that's just me!! I do love the images; can't wait to at least see it all as a movie! :3

Oh, I know what you mean about Young In! She really grows on you. I can't wait for you to finish to tell me what you thought of it!! :D

Anne Hathaway in a Tim Burton film?.......interesting...

Is it bad that I can not get past the fact that Johnny Depps contacts are not even in that picture? I almost half wonder if they are supposed to be that way given the Mad Hatters character.

"Films and literature should always be treated as separate entities because while they have an influence on each other, they're very different mediums, IMHO."
Agreed!

[sailorgaia]

I was kinda thrown aback at her inclusion too but somehow..it works!

Johnny Depp is creepy as the Mad Hatter. I don't like looking into his eyes directly. o.o

....I still don't like that design for the Mad Hatter.

Yes, it's one of my favorite books but not for the same reason as a lot of people: i.e. emo bullshit, AND ALL THOSE OTHER FUCKING POSERS...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! I enjoy the character of Alice: she's in this screwed up land, but she tells people OFF! This girl can take care of herself and tells everyone to fuck off when she gets bored or annoyed with their constant craziness. It's a cute little story but too many people have tried to put this pychotic spin on it and I really don't like it. If you want to make it creepy just think of Lewis Carroll's actualy realtionship with Alice and that any diary entry mentioning him was burned by her family upon her death...I would have loved to read those! (would this be like James Joyce writing me a letter? *shudder*)

ANYway, agreed I still am interested in seeing it. I hope it's not too psycho or emo for me, I fear for it o.O

Get away from me, James Joyce!

[sailorgaia]

Gotta watch out; James Joyce might discover email and then you'll never get rid of him!! :O

You know we'll go see this movie no matter what we think a bout it...because we really dig that costume-y movie stuff. And then we'll want to cosplay everyone!! ;o; BAWWWW PREDICTABLE MANNERISMS!!!!

[paradoxymoron]

Dude. You should be able to customise this shit AND YOU SHOULD HAVE LIKE 15 ICONS!

[sailorgaia]

I don't want to deal with ads just for 15 icons. I'm cheap like that. :C

[sailorgaia]

It's like looking at IT; don't look directly into Johnny Depp's eyes. They alll floaaaaaaaaaaaat down there!!!!~~~ ::is scared of the clown-esq Depp::
