YOU'RE LATE FOR TEA!

Today started amazingly, as I briefly "spoke" to Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko director) on twitter. I say "spoke" as I tweeted him and he replied, so it wasn't exactly a conversation, but I was close to screaming like a 12 year old girl nonetheless. This is due to the fact that Donnie Darko is my favourite movie, which based on the amount of movies I like is saying something.

My puppy, Merlin, was at the vet's yesterday to have some strange lump removed from his chest. He's home and fine, save for a massive Frankenstein wound held together by large cross-stitching. He looks insanely cool just now; I would perhaps be pushed as far as "badass".

This afternoon I went to see Alice in Wonderland with Danny and Lou. After last week's fiasco, we all got in for free, and the movie was excellent. When she first gets into Wonderland it is very odd, and it all becomes a bit of a sensory overload, but after the first few scenes, it levels out, and it gets back to Tim Burton goodness; bizzare yet emotionally deep characters, fun storyline, and bizzare colourful imagery (sometimes surprisingly macarbre for a Disney film). The 3D was excellent, and the cast was fantastic; Mia Wasikovska plays Alice very well (and is STUNNING), and Johnny Depp, just for a change, steals the show as the Mad Hatter, along with his hilarious sidekick; a Scottish mad march hare. I completely understand that it has a very acquired taste, meaning a lot of people I know will flatly hate it. All three of us enjoyed it greatly though, and I give it 9/10.

The one thing that really bugged me in the cinema was people talking throughout the film. You've paid just under a tenner, so why the hell are you nattering through the ENTIRE film?

Anyhow, we then went to Pizza Hut for what we thought would be a simple takeaway, but we ended up waiting for well over half an hour for a single Margherita Pizza. Oh well, it was lovely, so worth the wait I guess.

I got home in time to watch last night's Lost repeated, which was very interesting.I love Lost, and the fact that we're halfway through the last ever series is both exciting in the sense that everything will be resolved (I hope), but also quite a shame in the sense that there will be no more Lost.
