Travesty of the Week: Alice in Wonderland

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Alice in Blunderland

The new “Alice in Wonderland” is one of the few movies I have ever walked-out on.

In sum:

• Dear screenplay writer Linda Woolverton: EAT ME.

• I am watching “Beetlejuice” repeatedly to prevent myself from hating Tim Burton.

• Somewhere in the great beyond, the ghost of Walt Disney is raping the ghost of Lewis Carroll. In 3-D.
