Alice in Wonderland is opening in theatres in Singapore very soon, but is facing a bit of trouble elsewhere. Cinema group Odeon has said that it”ll boycott the film at its cinemas in Britain, Ireland and Italy in protest plans for an early release date on DVD.

Usually, a studio releases the DVD for a big blockbuster 17 weeks after its opening. But Disney is planning to cut it down to 12 weeks in Alice’s case. Of course, this is gonna hurt its theatrical run. The group had invested a lot of money in 3D technology in its theaters and it feels that Disney’s move undermines their efforts. The group also fears that the 12 week run could become commonplace.

But is boycotting the film and banning it a good move? I doubt it. This could face a lot of repercussions, with piracy being one of them.

Me, I’m just eagerly waiting for the film. I’ve always loved the Mad Hatter. Who can forget the tea party scene? And he has some of the quirkiest lines in the book. I can’t wait to see what Johnny Depp has done with the character.

“ The world is meaningless, there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose. All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well. Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to “find yourself”, you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, “This is who I make myself”.
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, “Fuck You!”. Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free.

Lucas wanted David Lynch to direct Return of the Jedi

So, he took me upstairs and he showed me these things called Wookiees. And now this headache is getting stronger.

Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Martin on Charlie Rose

“ When people ask me how do you make it in show business or whatever, what I always tell them — And nobody ever takes note of it ‘cuz it’s not the answer they wanted to hear. What they want to hear is here’s how you get an agent, here’s how you write a script, here’s how you do this — But I always say, “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” If somebody’s thinking, “How can I be really good?”, people are going to come to you. It’s much easier doing it that way than going to cocktail parties.

— Steve Martin

I found 3 abandoned hamsters and took them home. I was never a big fan of rodents, but these things are adorable as hell. So yes, I’m a 26 year old man with hamsters. I don’t quite know how to feel about that.
