Throught the Looking Glass

Tim Burton’s twisted take on the classic childrens’ story Alice in Wonderland doesn’t hit theaters until next year, March 5, but the trailer has just been released . . .

The movie –in 3D no less--stars the two Tim Burton regulars, always amazing Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and featuring relatively newcomer Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

Quote of the Day


Fuck you, too. Don't call me "lady". I come in here, I give these things to you, you check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I'm sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? "What's wrong?" Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where's your fucking decency? And then I'm asked fucking questions. What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you.
