Follow the white rabbit

We are at the dawn of the sammer summer movie season. With last year’s Avatar giving everyone a generous taste of the visual eye-nom that is 3D cinema, this season is sure to open in a big way with Tim Burton’s take of the classic Alice In Wonderland. The much-adpted series of novels by Lewis Caroll gets Burton’s creative stamp with his signature style of equal parts quirk and dark. Though this film is neither a squeel nor a re-imagining. Burton explains:

“The goal is to try to make it an engaging movie where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of Alice.”

The film stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Joining her are Burton usuals Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter as Madonna The Mad Hatter and The Red Queen respectively. The last Burton film I saw and really loved was Big Fish. If Tim makes Alice half as engaging as that film was, and in addition to what is no doubt to be stunning 3D imagery, we got ourselves a winner.

But enough schilling. Now for the reason I’m writing about this:

Mr. Well Connected Az has scored 4 of these snazzy limited-edition pocket watches and is giving one away everyweek. Only catch is to blog about it. Easy as pie. Having this watch will sure beat lugging around this wooden sun dial everywhere. Future stares will be of envy, not of suspicion. Bottom line: everyone wins. But whoever gets the watch wins just a little bit more.
