Sam's review of TV's "Alice in Wonderland", which aired last night, sure seems pretty much in accord with my own feelings about the movie...at least, the part I bothered to watch. A lot of my time was spent watching the antics of our new baby hamster, and listening to the always-shrill dialogue pouring forth from the television in the other room. When I did sit to watch parts of the movie, it was somehow far more grating than I had expected, even knowing ahead of time that Wonderland is supposed to be a nonsensical and somewhat disturbing place to visit. It had, I guess, very little genuine charm to offset the lunacy and the high-decibel delivery of the script. Maybe I'm being cantankerous or something; it just wasn't what I had hoped for. Good thing the hamster was there. :-)
