NC Reviews Tim's Alice

[crossover_chick]

Not surprisingly, he didn't like it (main's too bland, too many standard Burton cliches, too many attempts to force sense on the world), but he also acknowledged that this doesn't negate Burton's masterpieces. He also set up this great "storyline" for the review, in which he traveled through Burtonland after Carrotjuice, the Black Rabbit.

With "Malice."

Wearing a very familiar variation on the blue dress. And carrying around a knife. And getting gradually more and more blood-splattered.

Throw in a background joke of a burlesque-show Emily (look at the poster behind Tweedle-Carter during that scene) and a quick BTTF reference, and I think this might be my new favorite review. :D :D :D

And now I still have stuff to answer on tumblr, so g'night all! Go watch the review!

What was the BTTF reference? I may've missed it...

In other news, Tropius and Rooty seem to be giving me everything but a Clover and Ororo and Oakheart are favoring Hails and Ashes (though there I can say at least it's not a Sun/Moon). :/ I used Kairos to speed things up but still no luck and now I'm stuck until tonight.

Milton won a Gold. Threw Fang into Earth.

By the by, saw this on ThinkGeek and thought of you. :)

Don't worry if you did -- it's just a clip of George McFly laughing after he talks about Crispin Glover's weird scene with Alice (right after the Willard mention).

*patpat* I know how you feel in part -- suddenly Flitvine and Maurice have decided I need ALL the Forest dragons. I've gotten three in a row now. At least they're short fails? Although, ah, I can't share your frustration on the Celtic anymore. . .

Celsius just won a Silver, and I'm keeping with Light hybrids theme by putting Dusty in for Earth.

Awww! :D It would go well with my Space core. XD
