Alice in Wonderland

[fembuck]

I saw Alice in Wonderland in beautiful IMAX 3-D last night.  It was a fun little adventure and visually really stunning. 

Helena Bonham Carter is the official HBIC of the film.  She really does steal the show.  Not only did I find the Queen of Heart hilarious, I also really sympathized for her.  Even with that planet sized cranium and Lady Gaga lipstick Helena managed to infuse the Queen with a lot of humanity.  I felt like if someone had just given her and her huge head more hugs as a child that all of Wonderland's Underland's problems could have been avoided.

Anne Hathaway was HBIC in training.  I was skeptical about the White Queen based on the few glimpses of her we got in the trailer, but she ended up being my second favorite character after the Queen of Hearts.  She was also in a lot more of the movie than I thought she would be which was nice.  Kudos to Anne for the way she made the White Queen move so delicately, but also managed to make her creepy as hell and intimidating at certain points.  I also have to say, that was not expecting The White Queen and Alice to be so femslashy together.  I loved the White Queen wanting Alice to be her champion and then dressing her up in flashy pants suits and sparkling armor.  And the two of them exchanged some looks that were just, 'oh get a room you two!'

Mia Wasikowska did a really good job as Alice too.  For the most part her role was a lot less flashy than the other roles in the movie, but when Alice decided to get her Muchness on, Mia was really able to step up and became quite engaging.  Plus, she was very good at making eyes at Anne Hathaway.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable movie.

TBH though, one of the best things about watching Alice in Wonderland was  ...

The TRON LEGACY 3D TRAILER! 

*shaking and crying*

That movie looks sick as hell!  Honestly, I didn't even really love the first TRON and I was fangirling like crazy.  And ladies!  LADIES YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!  You get your first look at Olivia Wilde in the movie, and she is glorious.  Seriously, it's like think of how hot Olivia Wilde usually is, and then like triple it.  She's lying coquettishly on a couch people.  That image is seared into my mind.  I cannot believe that this movie does not come out until December.  The wait makes me want to cry.

Oh good. I thought I was imagining the femslashy vibes between Alice and the White Queen.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

You definitely weren't they only one. They were gay as hell together. Especially at the end after Alice defeated the jabberwocky, that lingering shot of the two of them looking bashfully at each other, I was like O_o. You will not convince me that those two didn't do it.

I saw it last week (including Tron trailer), and HBC was awesome. hilarious, evil, and still she had my sympathies - I have to admit that me being the black sheep of the family with a wonderboy as a brother understood her cry for acceptance and recognition. thank God at least I look better than my brother.
anyway, AH was quite creepy and I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought so.
and the whole thing was quite femmeslashy on top (srsly, the knight thing?).

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

and HBC was awesome. hilarious, evil, and still she had my sympathies

Yeah, HBC did a great job. And I appreciate that the character wasn't written as complete evil. I think most people would have been able to see a bit of themselves in the Queen's character.

AH was quite creepy and I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought so.

Most definitely. That scene in the kitchen where she was making the de-bigifying potion was creepy. As were her "it's against my vows" comments, cause you could tell she'd just find an even crueler way to screw you over, lol.

srsly, the knight thing?

I know. So wonderfully gay.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

They were so gay for each other.

I haven't seen any fic yet, but I'm definitely keeping my eyes out (and will probably attempt to write one myself)

[polgara247.livejournal.com]

You know you wanna write it..? It was so gay.. She was her "Champion" ffs :p
Please?
x

[lightbluenym.livejournal.com]

THIS!

Come on, J...give in to the peer pressure! All the cool kids are doing it!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try and give it a go, but I make no promises. The muse is fickle these days :(

[lightbluenym.livejournal.com]

My muse is a fickle bitch as well...*sigh* It happens.

[polgara247.livejournal.com]

OMG your icon!!
FACT!!!!

[lightbluenym.livejournal.com]

Lol, indeed :). I swiped it from Alex_Davis11.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I do want to write one. I will try. But I make no promises.

Still, "Champion" *swoon* I loved the suave pants suit the White Queen dressed Alice in for their romantic talk on the balcony as well, lol.

[halfabubble.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to bother with this but since everyone has been raving about the femslashy vibes, I might :p

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

It's definitely femslashy. Alice certainly has more chemistry with the white queen than any male characters. Don't expect them to make out, but there are definitely some longing looks, and a wonderful damsel/knight dynamic.

[lightbluenym.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I love that your favorite part of the movie was the trailer...

HBC rocked my socks off. I'm in love with her first scene, because the poem they based it off of is my favorite nursery rhyme EVER. You're totally right about her making the character sympathetic- I felt so bad for her when she found out everyone was lying to her! "You're right...it is better to be feared than loved." You could pretty much see her heart hardening. And the speech impediment was endearing..."I'm the eldest! It's my cwown!"

Anne Hathaway was totally rocking the "Creepy Aunt" vibe. Especially when they were in the kitchen. The way she dodged the Hare's flying concoctions was epic :)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I love that your favorite part of the movie was the trailer...

lol. One of my favorite parts, at least. That trailer was kickass.

You're totally right about her making the character sympathetic- I felt so bad for her when she found out everyone was lying to her! "You're right...it is better to be feared than loved." You could pretty much see her heart hardening.

This. I totally got a little misty-eyed. I really felt for her with the "I'm the eldest! It's my crown" line as well. It's hard to be the one that's left out of things or looked over.

Plus, I'll love her forever for her love of her fat boys, lol.

Anne Hathaway was totally rocking the "Creepy Aunt" vibe. Especially when they were in the kitchen.

Word. Buttered fingers. EWWWWWWxinfinity. Still, the way she fed the potion to Alice was kind of sexy. Anne really managed a perfect mix of hot and creepy.

That was def the creepy aunt part I was thinking of. "Blow." Ummm...yes ma'am...

And I totes want the outfit she gave Alice.

I saw Alice in 3D Saturday with some friends and, gawd, it was amazing! I still can't get it out of my head. I so wanna see it again.

And I was totally digging the femslashy vibe I was getting from Alice & the White Queen. I thought Anne played the character quite beautifully, and now I officially have a crush on her. lol.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

And I was totally digging the femslashy vibe I was getting from Alice & the White Queen.

Yes. They were delicious together.

I thought Anne played the character quite beautifully, and now I officially have a crush on her. lol.

Heh! You know, this movie (and to a smaller degree Valentine's Day) have really renewed my Anne crush as well. I totally came out of this movie wanting to be Alice so that I could impress the White Queen and have her fawn all over me and dress me in fancy clothes, lol.

[khase-fan09.livejournal.com]

It's odd for me to have such a crush on her because, before, I really wasn't a fan. But I just knew, from the moment I saw her in the Alice trailer, that my feelings about her would change because of the movie and I was completely right. :)

[berryswirl.livejournal.com]

Saw the film a couple of hours ago and I'm 100 % with you on the Alice/White Queen chemistry. It sparked right at me in 3D, literally.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, their chemistry wasn't off the hook, it was OFF THE SCREEN and in 3-D, lol. The femslash was definitely an unexpected but appreciated surprise.

[billy-rose.livejournal.com]

HBIC? Gah.. I should know this... head bitch in charge?
and Olivia Wilde is in tron? *adds to 'to see' list*

Oh did you see that apparently Resident Evil: Afterlife is coming out on September 10 of this year(and apparently in 3d as well)?

[From an article linked to IMDB]
On her Twitter feed earlier this evening, actress Milla Jovovich announced that the first trailer for the fourth installment of the "Resident Evil" franchise, "Resident Evil: Afterlife", will be premiering at the end of April in front of New Line's remake of "A Nightmare On Elm Street". The first 3D installment of the action-horror series is scheduled for September 10.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

head bitch in charge?
and Olivia Wilde is in tron?

Correct and correct. And OW being in TRON was originally why I was excited for it, but the trailer was also pretty amazingly kickass as well.

RE: Afterlife this september? FUCK YEAH! In 3-D is even better. Anything that brings Milla and Ali closer to me is a-okay in my books. Bring on the 3D

[arkeis07.livejournal.com]

I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT YET (WILL IN TWO HOURS) BUT I'M JUST OH SO EXCITED FOR IT. SO IT'S LIKE, FATE THAT I STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR POST TALKING ABOUT IT.

MY BRAIN IS GONNA BE IN FEMSLASH OVERDRIVE MODE DURING THE MOVIE, I SWEAR.


GAAAAAAH Alice in Wonderland is my all-time favorite story, ever. I'm gonna have a blast, fur shure. I'll come back and squee about the ghey and the ~Wilde laterz :D

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

ENJOY! You will definitely be entertained.

I anticipate your post viewing squeeing!

[alexz6.livejournal.com]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WRITE SOME WHITEQUEEN/ALICE FEMSLASH!!!!!!!:D
their extreme femslash-y-ness was the reoccurring thought in my head as i left the movie and i kept hoping that i'd come home and find some fanfic just waiting for me
IT SHOULD BE SO!!!!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try to. I can't make any promises, we'll see if my brain can come up with something, but this is definitely a pairing that I WANT to write :D

They were delicious on screen.

[hivesix.livejournal.com]

I got into the theatre late and missed Tron Legacy :( Or they weren't showing it. Probably the former.

YES WHITE QUEEN AND ALICE ARE SO GAY TOGETHER. Hot.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

So gay. So incredibly gay. I loved every second of it.

And I'm pretty sure the tron trailer will be popping up on line soonish, so no real harm done.

[missmerrimack.livejournal.com]

I saw it last night with a bunch of friends and saw the "let's get it on" vibes from Alice and The White Queen too. So what do I do when I get home? Google the pairing of course, and I found this:


http://purpletune.livejournal.com/2244.html#cutid1


I could only find one fic :( Hopefully there will be more in the future.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

lol! I love that fanfic is the first thing we all thought of after seeing the movie. They were just so gay.

Oooh, and thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out!

[(Anonymous)]

I was a little hesitant about seeing Alice In Wonderland because of all the mixed reviews, but I trust your opinion and I'm going to see it soon. :)
Also, this talk about chemistry between Alice and the White Queen has piqued my interest. :P I'm very interested in seeing that, haha.

[(Anonymous)]

Alsoo.... TRON LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD
You should have seen my eyes when Olivia Wilde flashed on screen, hahaha.

[arkeis07.livejournal.com]

OHMYGOD *squeeing commences*

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND FANTABULOUS AND PRETTY AND FEMSLASHY AND THERE WAS ~DANCING AT THE END! NOW THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A MOVIE!! :D

I wish I had paid more attention to everyone's names, and places and things and basically if I could have taken my eyes off of Alice's purty exposed shoulders for like 2 seconds that would have been very helpful, because I want to write fic but I have no grasp of anything loooooool. /:

I actually kinda wanna see young!redqueen/young!whitequeen fic. Sibling rivalry always makes for gooooooood slashyness. And you were absolutely right! I feel for the red queen and her mummsie and daddsie issues :'(

AHHHHHH *moar squeeing*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

AND THERE WAS ~DANCING AT THE END!

LOL! I know right! I LOVED Alice gettin' down at the end. It was unexpected and just perfect.

I wish I had paid more attention to everyone's names, and places and things and basically if I could have taken my eyes off of Alice's purty exposed shoulders for like 2 seconds that would have been very helpful

lol, I know. I'm trying to write a fic for this and I had to write 'the queen' for like the first half of it because I couldn't remember what her name was. Now I know it's Mirana thanks to a post below, but there are definitely little plot points I wish I'd been paying closer attention to.

I actually kinda wanna see young!redqueen/young!whitequeen fic. Sibling rivalry always makes for gooooooood slashyness.

So true. All one needs to do is look at Blackcest (oh, HBC keep on having chemistry with your on screen sisters, you know that we love it!)

I feel for the red queen and her mummsie and daddsie issues :'(

She was schmoopy. I wanted to hug her.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I watched Bitch Slap last night. Wait. No. I watched it TWICE cause it was just that awesome! I have to buy the DVD now so I can hear that commentary. )

Oooh, thanks for reminding me that's out. I needs to get the DVD and watch the commentary tomorrow. Oh god, I hope that commentary is epic. Those girls are so funny, if the commentary isn't the greatest thing since the Resident Evil commentary I'm going to be so sad.

[chilipeppasbaby.livejournal.com]

I blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl at the part where the Red Queen says that the White Queen can make anyone fall in love with her, including men, women and furniture. Les!yay + Anne Hathaway = a very happy me!

Also, for the purposes of possible fic, the White Queen's real name is Mirana. I imagine typing out 'the White Queen' over and over might get awkward. :)

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl at the part where the Red Queen says that the White Queen can make anyone fall in love with her, including men, women and furniture.

Me too. I thought that was great. And of course the White Queen had this woman eating out of her hand so I could see how true it was, and how irritating it must have been for the Red Queen.

Les!yay + Anne Hathaway = a very happy me!

That's math I can get behind!

Also, for the purposes of possible fic, the White Queen's real name is Mirana. I imagine typing out 'the White Queen' over and over might get awkward. :)


Thank you! I'd actually been looking for her name because typing 'the queen' HAD been getting old and I couldn't find it anywhere.

[dollfleshdecay.livejournal.com]

I agree with everything you said. I totally thought that Alice and the White Queen were totally femslashy too, but I wasn't sure if I just wanted it to be there lol.

Helena is my favorite actress of all time, I've seen nearly all her films haha. She is so versatile, and I think one of the best character actresses out there right now. I srsly want some Helena gifs. but I can't seem to find any.

And Olivia Wilde in Tron = UNF!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I totally thought that Alice and the White Queen were totally femslashy too, but I wasn't sure if I just wanted it to be there lol.

They were so gay for each other, I loved it. I doubt most people would have picked up on it, but femslashers have keener eyes than average folk!

She is so versatile, and I think one of the best character actresses out there right now.

For real. She is wonderful and captivating and amazing. And she has an amazing rack to boot! Mmm. I was uncomfortably attracted to her and her boobage in Sweeny Todd.

I srsly want some Helena gifs. but I can't seem to find any.


Internet, I am disappoint. *sigh* Your right those the only HBC .gifs I can think of are Bellatrix ones.

And Olivia Wilde in Tron = UNF!

UNFxinfinity plus one! I was hoping for a glance of her, and I wasn't disappointed. I'm going to have to bring a change of underwear to that movie.

[xavacid.livejournal.com]

you summed up the movie like no one. LOL. And I'm so glad I'm not the only one of the few that saw subtext between the white queen and Alice. That potion scene when Alice's eyes followed the queen every move.. (may be out of fear of what she would use in the potion, but hey!) that set my femslashy bone to overdrive.

[alex-davis11.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to see Alice, and I'm making a picspam of Tron right now because OMG OLIVIA ♥, and Garrett too ♥
I love them both, so imagine my excitement to see them together!!

[frogfrizz.livejournal.com]

OMG Tron!!! *dies*

[sicaria0.livejournal.com]

Came here just to find your post about Alice in Wonderland.

I also have to say, that was not expecting The White Queen and Alice to be so femslashy together.

Yes. That.

And TRON. Aaaahhhhhh so excited.

[liberty-stewart.livejournal.com]

Hadn't seen Alive yet, but hope to. I see they brought back Jeff Bridges for the Tron Legacy movie.

[liberty-stewart.livejournal.com]

My bad, I wrote "Alive" instead of Alice.

[silently-forgot.livejournal.com]

haha the alice/white queen vibes were so femslashy that i had to start a comm. (http://community.livejournal.com/alicexwqueen) Just thought you'd be interested lol.
