  1. So...Alice in Wonderland?

    [SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW, BUT NOTHING HUGE]

    Not everything I'd hoped for. Huge battle scene at the end was majorly cliche'd; I don't know why Tim Burton has to turn everything into an epic. The 3D was nice, because everything seemed real, and although Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter was indeed mad, I didn't find him particularly crazy and frantic like I'd expected. He was just a little more off his rocker, and I thought he would be more of a prominent speaker.

    Anyone elses' thoughts?
  2. Well, what can I say... it's nice fairy tale for kids, a bit gloomy (needless to say why), but good.

    Our local cinema is usually quiet place with just few people, and when you're inside it seems like

    it's not a public place at all. Today it was completely different: hall was full of kids, a lot of

    laughter, especially on Hatter with his hairdo a la "fakir was drunk and trick has not gone right"

    I like actors' playing. It must be very difficult to play when all you have is just green screen

    behind you and imagination in your head. But they've done it well. I just love that couple from

    'Sweeney Todd' (Johnny & Helena) they're crazy geniuses both and btw have something in

    common + Tim Barton = Great Mad Company. But 'mad people more clever than others'. I see that

    world differently too. Am I mad? maybe, so I'm with them.

    Cheshire Cat was so cute as well as all visual effects. Johnny Depp joked that he could play

    all the characters in that cartoon.

    Its no trouble, you speak English just fine

    And yeah, I like the way 3D has adapted...it used to be that they gave you red/blue glasses, and the movie was full of gimmicks that swung out at you and tried to make you jump, and now, 3D is becoming referred to more and more as "Real-D", and the glasses simply make EVERYTHING seem like it really has another dimension, making it look like you're sitting right in front of the scene as its happening. Same with U23D...no "gimmicks" (okay, when Edge turned and his guitar swung out it was a 3D plug, and I seem to remember Bono kicking some water bottles), it was just like you were standing right there at a real concert.

    I think they're using the technology brilliantly, myself.


    U23D...mmm....my dream. Maybe it's even better than the real concert, because they show you best

    moments so close. I didn't see 3D but heard about 4D, when your chair shakes you from side to side,

    in a minute you're wet, then it's wind blowing and finally you smell some scents (Ok if it is good )
  4. Anyone around?
  5. Woo Happy St. Patrick's Day
  6. Just came back from the Easter Vigil. Happy Easter to all believers!
  8. Yeah, Happy Easter

    I was wondering what's the secular greeting for Easter - if there is one , just Happy holiday?


  9. I think that in English it's "Christ is risen" with the response being "Indeed (or truly), He is risen".


  10. I've heard that one before, no I actually meant the secular greeting (secular = non religious) like how instead of saying Merry Christmas they say Seasons Greetings.

    I was emailing some of my lecturers and wasn't sure whether to put "Happy Easter" because quite a few of them are atheists

    Oh so. "Happy Easter'' might do, I think that non-religious people have no trouble with rabbits and eggs if they don't perceive Easter in a religious way.
  12. I just read a concert review from a Veritgo//San Jose show written towards the beginning of the tour, and the writer had a few criticisms, some of which were valid...and then I hit this line..

    Noticeable exlcusions: Bad, With or Without You, Two Hearts Beat as One


    I literally had to blink twice at that...I agreed with Bad and WOWY...I can see John Q Public getting pissed that U2 didn't play those. But even as a superfan, which this writer probably wasn't...how could you be pissed that they didn't play a song that hasn't seen the light of day in (at that time) 20 years?

    I'm still a little baffled that he wrote that.

    I don't really even mean to start any real debate or conversation over it, it just piqued my interest enough to share it with someone, and this is the only place where anybody would even understand why I was so
