Sooooo last thursday evening was the world premiere for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland in London’s Leicester Square. The crowds were insane, and I couldn’t really see much. Plus, of course, it was raining. In any case, I know there are pictures online that people can see but here are a few of my own!

Also, THIS came up while “stumblingupon” (if that can be a term). I think it’s still a bit glitchy, but cool nonetheless. I guess one would have to memorize all of the buttons to get it to sound good. Who’s up for it?

there are few who’d deny, at what he does he is the best

Tim & Skeleton

The extensive exhibition on the work of film mastermind Tim Burton has been open at the MOMA for a couple of weeks now, and it’s giving this Boston girl yet another excuse to head to NYC over winter break. He’s captivated my imagination since the first time I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas as a little girl at my uncle’s house, and just in case you haven’t heard… Burton has (once again) collaborated with the beautiful and eccentric (Bellatrix!) Helena Bonham Carter and (surprise) Johnny Depp, as well as Anne Hathaway, to bring us his version of Alice in Wonderland. You can watch the trailer here. I sense that we should expect a splattering of Big Fish-style, enchanting scenery and Depp’s Willy Wonka-perfected strangeness that makes him all the more delicious (see him as the Mad Hatter below) even when covered in eighteen pounds of stage makeup… Anyway, how about we schedule a Mill field trip for March 5, 2010?

So I saw that Taylor posted about Pogo a while ago. Just thought I’d share another song of his that he mixed from Harry Potter. It’s called Alohamora! It’s quite, quite amusing.

Anyway, Pogo is from Perth, Australia. He’s mixed songs from movies such as Alice In Wonderland, Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Hook, and WIlly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. There are a few tracks for free download here, and Pogo is also on my mojo. :)

farewell,

weave and wish.

Cool remix of Alice in Wonderland— this guy has taken only sounds and images from the movie to create a pretty dancey montage.  There’s more on youtube, including an awesome mix of Sword and the Stone.  Imagine this projected on the wall of a euro disco…
