Debbie’s own filters are coming through on this. It was very good and used typical literary archetypes.

Good old Debbie, once again proving she didn’t actually see the movie, she might have sat in the theater but the brain was elsewhere.

I never thought the original Alice tale was 'charming'.

I can see the anti-greed theme in Avatar.
I can see the anti-war theme in Green Zone.

I can’t see the far-fetched attempt to tear down Alice as a feministic movie. This is Tim Burton we are talking about here. He didn’t want to re-do the same story. He wanted to throw twists in the movie like he always does. Feminism is not one of them.

Oh, please Debbie. One can find “hidden” messages in anything.

So is Debbie saying that she is for forced marriages of the sort that Alice was facing? How is that any different than Islam? Would she prefer if Alice surrendered to the marriage and stayed in the background like a good woman while the men handled the finances?

It was a fine movie based on a book, not a great movie, but an enjoyable one nonetheless.

Dweeby Schyster is a closet EMOcrat. She finds slights where none exist.

That’s weird. I read the whole Schlussel column, and she wasn’t able to work in a slam of Sarah Palin in the whole thing.

The only “Alice” thing that makes sense:

If you’re planning to see Disney’s new version of “Alice in Wonderland,” know that it really isn’t Alice in Wonderland at all. It’s Gloria (Steinem) and Betty (Friedan) and Susan (Sarandon) in a high tech, souped up, feminist wonderland. It’s like NOW (the National Organization for Women) invaded a kids’ flick and turned it into a horror movie. There’s nothing wondrous or wonderful about it. It’s dumbed down baloney.

Having seen Alice in Wonderland and having personally experienced the knee-jerk vitriol of Debbie Schlussel, I've got to say that the above is more about Debbie using the movie to vault off of than it is about the movie.
