Jackson even admitted to borrowing the "Proudfeet!" scene as a conscious homage to this movie. As much as I love the first two Lord of the Rings films (and they are perfect), the Bakshi version is weird and atmospheric and charming and thoroughly entertaining.

Alice belongs in a real Britain surrounded by good English trees and gardens and rivers and mock turtles, not some barren CGI wasteland.

why is this happening? Through the Looking Glass was my favorite novel growing up, it's so dreamy and elegaic and sad, and why is this happening???

*tears*

I love the idea of an Agent Carter or Doctor Who crossover bond. How about Eddie Redmayne as a cute sort of dorky Bond?

I remember the days when the Killers were rumored to be working on a Bond song and the world was golden.

any of you regular AV Club commenters on Twitter? we should be Twitter friends

it really was brilliant. between that and the crushing disappointment of the Golden Compass movie, I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that all my favorite series will be better on TV.

If you ever travel back in time, don't step on anything! Even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine.
