Warning: Corporate Evil Ahead! But Lovely Corporate Evil

It's a fine thing when an anarchist (but one a little too old for Utopian visions) pitches in to promote a movie from a monster corporation, but I'm not an iconoclast. Sure, I live in the middle of a terrible empire, but perhaps that's part of the greatness of its culture, and I'll never sacrifice beauty to moralism.

That said, I'll post some recently-released images from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Yes, that's even a link to the newly-launched official site!

There's a lack of depth to the USA's culture lately, and its productions seem to say little more than "this is a marketable thing, this is how I make my living," so I'm not getting myself too worked up about the movie. I have no taste for a core of conservative blandness, especially in ostensibly fanciful productions.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the Disney company's movie treatments of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and cultural affiliation, even if individualist and perverse, makes seeing a new treatment of Lewis Carroll's books an obligation.
