Alice in Wonderland

[icarusfall]

Lewis Carrol was a pedophile.

[A Robot Bit Me]

That may or may not be true! His relationships with girls were entirely platonic by some accounts, but his family ripped out a few chunks of his diary before releasing it which is incriminating.

Hey, neat books, though!

He liked to photograph children nude. It was never explicitly said about him at the time that he was a pedo, but we've written Michael Jackson off for far less. People were just naive back then.

MJ used to sleep in bed with boys. I'd say that's pretty far from "far less."

[A Robot Bit Me]

Hey, neat music, though!

There are dozens of movie adaptations of this already, and Jan Svankmajer's Alice already did the weird and creepy angle well enough.

That's the American McGee one, not this one.

I could see that being awesome as an unrated action horror movie.

Tell that to a court.

Hay guys. This movie looks like that girl in my Painting for Sequential Art Class threw up in my face and then she turned around and pooped blood and worms into my face. She draws that Bizenghast book that 14 year old Korean girls like.

...Dr. Suess versions of all our favorite fairy tales.

You didn't really try to use that as a negative, did you? Seriously? Get your ass to a book store and read I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew, On Beyond Zebra, whatever collection has Pale Green Pants With Nobody Inside Them, both Bartholemew Cubbins books, and whatever else you can get your hands on.

Then go read some fairy tales. This pansy-ass crap inflicted on them isn't dark, it's just a marketing scheme for the Hot Topic crowd. The silly goth trappings are just darkness without danger, and fairy tales don't work like that. Neither does Dr Seuss.

I meant Dr Suess has a distinct, repetitive style. So does Tim Burton. And that's why Big Fish was good; it wasn't his style thrown over a fairy tale. We want to see Dr Suess do Dr Suess, not Lewis Carrol.
