The Loyal Subjects of The White Queen
The Loyal Subjects of The Red Queen
The Disloyal Subjects of The Mad Hatter

I wouldn’t be suprised if The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) beats The Jew Hunter (Christoph Waltz), Nero (Eric Bana) and Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) in the villain category.

I also wouldn’t be suprised if Zoe lost to Anne Hathaway!

Firstly, in a way, because the Disney tween/teen crowd now know who Mia Wasikowska is, they will vote for her.

Secondly during last year’s MTV awards the Disney tween/teen crowd had three big campaigns going simultainiously (Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale). This year the same crowd who got those three loonies nominated (with one of them winning) could unite as one giant force and start voting for Mia Wasikowska, knowing that she was in the Disney produced, Tim Burton directed Alice in Wonderland.

Why? 2 words: Mia Wasikowska

Last year 3 of the Best female breakout nominees were Disney Hoes (Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and eventual winnner Ashley Tisdale).

This year there are none shortlisted, however the same demo who voted for those 3 punks may start voting for Mia Wasikowska, knowing that she was involved with a certain Tim Burton movie released by Walt Disney Pictures.

1. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto will probably split the Star Trek vote

2. Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms will probably split the Hangover vote

3. Rob Coddry and Clark Duke will probably split the Hot Tub Time Machine vote

4. Anthony Mackie and Jeremy Renner will probably split the Hurt Locker vote.

5. During awards season Christoph Waltz was winning awards left right and centre, for portraying The Jew Hunter. The most feared villain since Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker.

Also dont forget that despite Eric Bana’s performance I do think Nero was not a particlarly great villain.

As I said in earlier I did give the film an 8 out of 10, one thing I cannot forgive the writers for in this film is destroying Vulcan.

1. Christoph Waltz is hard to beat

2. All the Johnny Depp fans will be voting in their billions for Helena Bonham Carter

Been away from the threads for a bit so it’s good to see you (post-wise) again. Took your advice and checked out the Siskel-Ebert thread, and WOW!

Brought a tear to my eye, watching you crack skulls like that, bro! I’m so proud of you! High five!

Remember, Siskel gave thumbs down to TMP while Ebert gave it thumbs up. I agree with Siskel, and disagree with Ebert, and I think Ebert is inconsistent as a critic. Just compare his Star Trek review to his Avatar review and ask yourself if he’s really being a fair judge of both movies.

And when you wrote in the other thread:

“I have no pride to injure. I believe all of the entertainment industry to be a distraction from things that are truly important.”

It’s just good to see that said by someone amidst all that stuff. I actually went out there to be a screenwriter when I was 18, and coming from NYC with how I grew up I just could not adapt to the illusory nature of that world. I ended up joining the Marines and then getting lost in college philosophy afterward, consistent with my own personal search for truth and knowledge.

I’m glad that you’ve found a way to cope. If you can’t stay grounded in the real world I don’t see how any of that crap would be worth it, because the price really is your soul and integrity.

So bravo, compagno. Bravo.

And looking forward to this culture war mention. Are you about to pull a Jerry Maguire? Or smash some idols?
