You've seen the static images, now enjoy the pictures in motion! Yes, it's the preview for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, and you know what? It looks pretty cool. It'd probably work better with "Wake Up!" as the background music, but you can't have everything.

I was flipping around the TV last weekend and came upon Tim Burton's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, which I had never seen before. Apart from an unfortunate, tacked-on backstory, it was pretty goddamn great, and it got me to thinking that Johnny Depp may be the most underrated actor to have achieved star status in his generation. I mean, can you think of anyone else with Depp's box office success and marquee name who takes so many chances and so clearly delights in just being weird when the role calls for it? You probably can; that's why we have a comments section. But where's his Oscar? Anyway, he and Burton are teaming up again for a new version of Alice In Wonderland. USA Today has the first released images, and, whatever, I thought they were cool. Have a look.
