The Most Beautiful Man On Earth and Wonderland
You won't hardly find a post like this from me anytime, but every now and then, I let my fangirl side take over.
First off, I'm a big fan of anything Tim Burton. I very nearly bought this bed frame, simply because it screams Tim Burton-esque from head to feet. But alas, the missus wouldn't have it.
Secondly, I'm a big fan of anything Johnny Depp. He is, by any account, the most beautiful man on earth.
Yes, you heard that. It takes a real man to admit it. I am that man.
I dragged the missus to catch The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus simply because Johnny Depp was in it. I kid you not. That's how big a fan I am. You'd almost think I was a swooney 16-yr-old groupie girl/gay boy. Almost. (by the way, Parnassus was crappy & confusing. Don't waste your 10 bucks like I did. Unless you're a swooney groupie.)
Photographic evidence of my almost-groupieness:
From his 21 Jump Street days, to Edward Scissorhands, to Sleepy Hollow, to Pirates of the Caribbean, to Willy Wonka, to Sweeney Todd etc etc, I've watched them all. You've got to give it to a man born with perfect features, who devotes his life to playing only the very quirky on screen. He was especially beautiful in Before Night Falls -both as Lt. Victor and Bon Bon- one of my all-time favourite films (but not because of JD).
I have been waiting forever for Alice in Wonderland. The teasers have been, um, teasing since November last year when I was in Hong Kong. Now that I'm just getting settled in Singapore, the timing is perfect. It is finally here.
You needn't even ask who my favourite character is going to be. This movie ought to be called "The Mad Hatter in Wonderland" or just "The Mad Hatter".
I mean, who the helios is MIA WASIKOWSKA? Oh, she plays Alice? Who cares.
Johnny Depp without a doubt is going to be the show stealer. And with the help of equally show-stealing queens like Anne Hathaway, Helen Bonham Carter & Crispin Glover, all I can say is: Can't. Bloody. Wait.

Youth is wasted on the young ↵
Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress, muses on his search for learning:
...most of my pleasure from learning comes these days from books and highly interlinked websites. Wikipedia is the canonical example, it can be so blissful to be lost in a web of great content, like a choose-your-own-adventure of information, stumbling from link to link and always ending up someplace you didn’t expect.
