No, it'll do gangbusters. People loved Alice in Wonderland, and this looks like more of that, and they're throwing the name around a bunch as well to get people to realize the connection. It's going to be huge.

I was under the impression that the main -really, only- reason "Alice" made a mint was because it was the first major 3D release in the immediate wake of "Avatar" and there wasn't much else in theaters at the time?

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

Not at all. It was because of Tim Burton, and college kids wanting to do drugs and go and see it. Also Hot Topic.

And as pointed out the last time Alice in Wonderland was brought up, it made its money back in Japan alone.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Disney even positioned it in the same weekend that Alice opened, I think. They are certainly hoping for repeat success, and they'll market the hell out of it to the Alice in Wonderland crowd.

Stay tuned for a Hot Topic exclusive CD with hits from Kerli and Avril Lavigne!

As a college kid, the only reason I was on drugs when I saw it was because I knew it was garbage and couldn't bear to see it otherwise

I was in college when it came out and someone at the school even organized buses to take kids to the midnight premiere at the local theater. The tickets were crazy discounted too. The only reason I didn't go was I didn't have any weed and neither did the friends who wanted me to go.

I get the feeling the Alice in Wonderland crowd are also big fans of Wicked, and that leads me to believe they might avoid this on the "It's not Wicked" principle.

I think she looks pretty good there, my only concern is they seem to be trying to make her "sexy" since it's Mila Kunis.

Is that Mila Kunis? Face looks more like Rachel Weisz to me.

Everybody seems so sure of it. Is it something that leaked? I figured one of the two witches that aren't clearly Glinda could be it, but I thought Rachel had just as much a chance of being the Wicked Witch as Kunis.

If she wears a low-cut top, guys aren't going to get their gaze as high as her face.

For witch confusion, I believe Weisz plays wicked witch of the east AKA the one that gets pancaked by Dorothy. I assume Kunis will be playing witch of the west.

According to Whedon Kevin was just a normal looking guy who would then eviscerate people with his bare hands.

It featured in the elevator scene coupled with probably the biggest solitary pool of blood. I think that was enough angry molesting.
