moonshine

Me and Disney go way back. The earliest memory I have is from 1992 when me and my sister were home sick and my mom bought us The Little Mermaid. We lay on the couches in the living room and ate pancakes with sugar and jam while we watched it. I still have that vhs-copy today and I still watch it every now and then.
Another memory I have is of Alice in Wonderland. It went on TV some time in the early 1990's and we taped it. For more than 15 years I had this taped version in English without at least the first ten minutes of the movie. I never saw how she fell down the hole, or how she ended up in a big bottle in the middle of the ocean. It didn't make the movie less good though, a child doesn't really need a beginning. Last year I bought the version on dvd and for the first time ever I got to see the first part of the movie. The funny thing about me and these movies are that I want to see them dubbed. I want to see the characters speak Swedish. Except with Alice in Wonderland. I grew up with the English version so I can't stand the Swedish one. The mind works in curious ways.

In 2005 I got tickets to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the cinema. Me, my sister and one of her friends went to see it and on the way there my ex-boyfriend passed me. He didn't stop to say hello, in fact, I don't think he realised it was me, but then he turned around and stared. I suppose I looked better that year than the year before. Anyway, the movie is directed by Tim Burton and with Tim Burton, you never really know what you're gonna get. Though between you and me - I didn't really know what Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was really about.

Tonight I went to see Alice in Wonderland - once again with my sister. I didn't know what to expect so I wasn't disappointed. The only thing that really annoyed the hell out of me was how they kept calling the Chesire cat "Chessur".
