Alice in Wonderland

Is it weird that I'm beyond excited for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland? While I'm not the biggest Tim Burton fan (Nightmare Before Christmas still gives me nightmares...) I think that he'll do an awesome job on this movie. I've always been a fan of this book and I like many quotes from it, and I love the Cheshire Cat for some reason. I had a poster that was this conversation that I like between Alice and the Cheshire cat. 

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. 

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." 

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. 

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." 

Alice went on, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. 

"I don't much care where--" said Alice. 

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat. 

"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation. 

"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

Slumdog Millionaire

I have been wanting to see "Slumdog Millionaire" forever and I finally did yesterday. It was awesome, a really well put together film. I immediately downloaded the soundtrack as soon as I got home. Check out the trailer, you HAVE to see it!

I've seen too many movies lately

Movies I've seen lately and my snap judgements.
*LOVE Hayden Christensen. All I did was stare at him during the entire movie. Then focused on the fact that him and Rachel Bilson met and started dating on set. And then I was jealous.

*Everytime I tell someone that the next place on my list to visit is Thailand, they always say: "All I can think of when I hear about Thailand is that movie with Claire Danes...you know where they get stuck in that scary prison." So I finally watched this movie. When I go to Thailand, I'll just try not to smuggle drugs out of the country. Problem solved.

This was pretty funny. It was no "Old School" but I got a laugh or two out of it.

"When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur, I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world, I made my arms short and I roamed the back yard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared, everybody knew me and was afraid of me, and one day my dad said "Bobby you are 17, it’s time to throw childish things aside" and I said "OK Pop", but he didn't really say that he said that "Stop being a fucking dinosaur and get a job."

Ok I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. But I will say that there is one scene with a hot piece that disappoints me. And I don't care what anyone (Michael) says, I hate Tilda Swinton. Every character I've seen her play, she's usually a CB. And she's not in the least bit attractive.

Twilight

Well I caved. After months of hearing about Twilight and Robert Pattinson's magical hair, I finally read the damn book. Now, in my defense the airport bookstore didn't have a great selection so it was either Nights in Rodanthe or this. I try to resist reading books that have become too popular, which is why I have yet to read any of the Harry Potters.

Anyway if you are just as in the dark as I was- Twilight is basically a love story between a teenage girl and a hot vampire. The whole vampire thing isn't portrayed as dumb and cheesy like I had thought it would be. Well much to my dismay... I am now OBSESSED. GREAT. Now I have to walk my fat ass all the way to Borders at lunch to buy the second book in the series. I literally read Twilight within a couple of hours while travelling this weekend. And now I need to find a couple other losers like me to go see the movie coming out the 21st.

Baby Mama

Well I can't believe that I actually had nothing better to do this morning than to watch Baby Mama. You must have heard about this cinematic adventure with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The premise of the movie is that Tina Fey's character can't get pregnant, so she hires a surrogate (Amy Poehler). I have to admit that there were actually some really funny scenes. I almost died laughing when one of the gays in the group therapy session was talking about his "morbidly obese" aka pregnant surrogate. If you have some time to kill, I would recommend it!

Amy Poehler: "What IS this?!?"

Tina Fey: "Its water..."

Amy Poehler: "Its AWFUL!"
