Long time No Blog! Crazy Wonderland Adventure!
Hello my CRAZIES!
Here is a bit of a rant along with some adventures from my weekend!
A few weekends ago you may have heard I filmed a music video! It's actually for my band! Here are a few clues as to how it will look! Thanks to Rob and Jordan for these hints!

FRIDAY
Had a great night introducing my high school friends Katie and Ashley to my fav band ever DODGER!

Even ASHES came out with her girlfriends to check em out!
ROCK til YOU DROP!
SATURDAY
As you may know I've been looking forward to Alice in Wonderland since last year! One of my favorite stories of all time! I love a lot of Tim Burton's films and Johnny Depp is usually amazing! Originally I wanted to see the midnight screening Thursday night... but work in the studio went late so I left it to Saturday.

As most of you probably did, because it seemed like EVERYONE was at the theater that day! I went to one theater at 4 to catch the 5 o'clock show. SOLD OUT, 7 o'clock sold out too! So we left for another theater, same deal... ugh, so I bought for 10 o'clock and decided to see The Crazies in the mean time. GREAT MOVIE!
I love Zombie movies!
OK now here goes the RANT!
So I'm still stoked to see Alice, so we ran out before the credits rolled on the Crazies.. and ran in to get a seat. We find two empty seats, cool. Then the girl two seats away from us says she's saving them for her friends. There were no jackets on the seats and by this time practically all the seats in the theater are filling up. I understand saving seats if you claim them, leave your jacket and get a friend to save it for you, but saving seven seats in a sold out theater with no evidence that they've even arrived yet is ridiculous.
I feel for this girl cause her friends are probably gonna show up and be mad at her, but you should think about that before you offer to save seats. I paid the same amount as everyone else I've been in this theater for 6 hrs. I deserve to be able to sit in a seat that appears empty!
So a few nasty comments get cast our way, whatever. The girl's friends arrive 20min later all pissed because they're seats weren't saved. She leaves in a huff and next thing we know Mr. movie usher comes in telling us we have to leave the theater! So we paid the same amount, waited the same length as anyone else, paid for another movie ticket, just so we could see this movie and you're making us leave. Gr!
Now who's to say that anybody going to a packed movie theater can't go up to a person of authority and "claim" they were in these seats when they never even were. Where does it stop? can you save an entire row? and entire theater worth of seats!?

So he escorts us out of the theater (totally embarrassing) and to make things worse, all her friends clap as we leave!
We get our money back but still wasted an entire 6 hrs of out day trying to see a movie. So we ask for a manager hoping to see some kind of policy about saving seats. Which we never got, she wanted to resolve our issue by giving us free passes to the 10:40 show, which I'm glad she did or I would start throwing popcorn around.
So after all this, I see the movie and I'm so disappointed!
I agree with a lot of reviews I've read. Helena Bonham Carter.. probably the best part of the movie. She was funny and great as the red Queen. But the creepiness that I thought Tim would be brilliant at has all been very childproofed. I'm sure kids will love it, but the cartoon version was scarier! The movie moved way too fast... I love how originally Alice was on a journey of her own, questioning everything around her and commenting on how odd it all was... she would talk to herself and get frightened when she lost her way. This Alice felt like she was told exactly what she has to do, no surprises. BORING! A lot of the imaging was cool but it'd could've been done 10X better! And didn't the ending feel like Shrek?! with the dancing?! ugh and my fav Johnny Depp did not nail this character at all. :(
SUNDAY
I totally chilled the whole day even though I was going to try and record. I could get the movie theater debacle out of my head! I took a look online and the general consensus is, proper movie theater etiquette is saving the seat on either side of you, nothing more. and that's only if the people you are saving the seats for have their tickets already. We were definatley not treated fairly especially since mr. movie usher never let us explain our side of the story. What do you guys think? have you ever been in a similar situation?
