What does "down the rabbit hole" mean to you?


edit: I can see my original post can be grossly misconstrued. I actually didn't realize Ainarikki was making an AIW reference with that. Stupid of me.

I do believe this person is quoting from the movie as Alice does elude to a party.   :-P

They took "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" and kinda meshed them together. Also, the jabberwocky wasn't as awesome as it was in my imagination, which was a huge disappointment. It was basically a dragon. I was fairly unimpressed. The only thing I liked was Johnny Depp's interpretation of the Mad Hatter, which was awesome. But everything else sucked. His acting ending up carrying most of the film.

I haven't seen it but I would have to agree that Johnny Depp's ability to take on any role would basically carry just about any movie to the end.  I am going to go see it simply because Depp is in it.

My favourite adaptation is not a movie, but a song.

Remember what the Dormouse said: "Feed your head."

(Except he didn't actually say that, but we know he probably thought it.)

I think the only reason I liked Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was for the pig... Pigs are so cute.

In the right context they certainly are

You mention it now and again.

My grandfather lived in pre-revolutionary Ukraine. I don't think he was actually Ukrainian, however, but maybe something rubbed off on him.

Welcome!

Haven't seen it yet. AIW and Through The Looking Glass are my favourite books, but everyone kind of talked me out of the new movie.
I might see it someday.

Really? Those 2 books are your favourite books? Of all books ever written? Those 2?

Not just among your favorites, but actually your very very favorites?

Well, I just thought it was interesting. I mean, here you go through life having 2 books as your favourite books, and one day you mosey around the Geekery and suddenly BLAMMO! There's a thread where people are talking about YOUR favourite 2 BOOKS!

What are the odds?

Pretty trippy indeed.

Tell me pandaberry do you enjoy the War and Peace by Dostoyevsky series?

Oh no, I'm sorry. I had my fill of Vampires back in Junior High and High School. Don't particularly care for War and Peace by Dostoyevsky.
