[Doc Faustus]

Looks like it's on the shallow side. I heard from my girlfriend's brother who's a big Tim Burton fan, that it was exactly the movie he thought it would be. I feel like I've already seen it from just what I know about Tim Burton and the script he was using. It's a mistake to add a goal oriented fantasy plot to a piece of absurd literature. I'm boycotting the hell out of this. Giving her some fantasy adventure deprives the world of its meaning and depth and dilutes Lewis Carroll's intentions. Lewis Carroll loved this little girl (romantically, plationically, nonsexually, no matter what people want to think) and her innocence and felt sad for her. He was a professor of mathematics in a society that he knew made no sense and he wanted her to know that it wasn't half as serious as the idiot adults she'd one day be surrounded by think it is. (What do they know? They're nothing but a pack of cards.) It was a dear friend's attempt to reach out to a child and tell her to retain her innocence and not be poisoned by the stupidity around her. Read the book, see the lack of sense around you, know that the game is inconsequential and know that Tim Burton and crew are playing into it, and hard, by making a big budget, CGI filled Hot Topic brainwashing blockbuster. Disney, Tim Burton, everybody that imposed sense and commercialism on an anarchist masterpiece...they're nothing but a pack of cards.
