[MarkWaldorf]

[Shaun]

bit crap.

[xDramatick]

I love this <3

[Ramsay]

she used to be cool and punk
now shes **** and barbie:(

[Stu]

I think Simon Amstell nailed it on that episode of Buzzcocks.

Something to the effect of 'Look at me! I'm Avril Lavigne and I'm real and angry unlike all those fake popstars! Oh wait ... look! I'm Avril Lavigne! Here's a song about girlfriends! Look at my tits!'.

Not really. I'm not a huge Avril fan but she's not acting angry or whatever, and she never really has.

[Nicky.]

The MSN sound in the middle sure makes it original! haha Xx

[Nicky.]

Oh, there's 2! How awesome of her! xD

Nahh, I love the song <3 :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

That girl has done such a 180 on her image it's crazy.

[Arneldo]

yuck



this.

[Stu]

Oh come on. She's done a complete 180 to flog more records to the same kind of twelve year old girls who think wearing black armbands and carrrying a Robert Paterson sketch pad makes you deep and edgy.

I'm not saying she was never pop, mind you. Even the first album was still Punk Lite filtered through pop sensibilities.

Is this for the new Alice in Wonderland movie? If so it's been killed already. Awful song.

[Stu]

Oh god. I hope not.

And yes, the song can lick the **** from my boots.

[InOne]

It would take away the whole trippy effect that i'm hoping the movie will have. The Disney version got it spot on.

[Twilight]

UMG this movie soundtrack is gonna be epic
I love this And i can't wait to hear All Time Low's song for the movie to

Christ. I didn't realise the movie was getting a fag rock compilation to go along with it. I hope it's for promotional purposes and none of it makes it to the actual cut of the movie? It would completely ruin the experience. You can tell a lot of it is to appeal to the ~whacky scene kids who are going to show up on the movies opening day.

Nononononononno. WHAT THE ****.

The more I see and hear of this movie, the less interested I am. Alice is meant to be a surreal, beautiful yet disturbing fairytale. I watched the trailer for the third time the other night and noticed how much CGI and special effects were used. I dunno, I just think all this Hollywood crap is ruining the magic.

[InOne]

So Tim Burton murdered Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now doing the same with Alice In Wonderland all with Depp by his side. Great.

[Stu]

That was quick.
The ice may be painful, BUT ONLY LOVE WILL BREAK MY TEENAGE HEART :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:.

Chances are it won't. Films like these always release two soundtracks, one will consist of the instrumentals and music from the actual film itself and the other will be an 'inpsired by....' album which this will be. Thee worst that'll come from it is that a few of these songs will make it on to the end credits.

[Twilight]

Oh i love this site and its music snobs

[Stu]

Oh i love this site and its music snobs
I wasn't aware that 3OH!3 not being suitable for inclusion anywhere in or around the Alice In Wonderland universe was akin to being a music snob.

[Enid]

Oh i love this site and its music snobs
It's about producing a fitting soundtrack.

Stop being so defensive all the time.

[InOne]

You should read 'Catcher in the Rye' or 'The Perks of being a Wallflower' they're all about teen angst. I know how hard it is for teens these days, all drama and misery. ;)

Yeah, true. Still, shame to see what should be such good intellectual property get stapled to a mass market cash in of a soundtrack that bears it's name. Hollywood I guess.

I'm surprised Linkin Park aren't on the list. They will play prostitute to anything in order to get another generic single out.

[InOne]

Sort of gone off the whole Depp Burton team lately. Been hit and miss the last few years.

Check out Kerli, I think she'll fit perfectly tbh.
Her music's quite quirky.

I agree. Nothing like the old days. Just quit while your ahead.

The horse may not be dead, but I'm tired of watching it get flogged.

If Tim were to end up at the helm of a movie about The Royal Family, Helena Bonham Carter would probably end up as Diana somehow. Depp of course being the perfect candidate to bring out the dark and sinister side of the Queen.

[Vicky.]

she used to be cool and punk
now shes **** and barbie:(

Agreed.

Loved her older stuff/look.

Indeed, I probably prefer Depp in the films without Burton directing. From Hell, Fear and Loathing, Blow.

[Vicky.]

When does this film come out anyways? Anyone know?

[Smithy]

March

Cheers...I have a feeling its going to be awful...

[Twilight]

I can't wait for it<3

[Tom4784]

I'll have to respectfully disagree about Tim Burton and his team, I thought Sweeney Todd was excellent and Big Fish was endearing. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was....unfortunate.... But I think the new Alice looks great. He uses Helena and Johnny a lot in his films but that's because they suit the feel he tries to go for.

On the issue of the soundtracks, it's common practice really and for me personally it's more about the film that what merchandise will come from it.

[InOne]

I didn't say all his newer films were bad. And Depp and Helena are excellent actors, but as Stu was saying, it does not always gel right, and they can't be used in any old format.

[Shaun]

The only two artists I really like from that soundtrack list are The All-American Rejects and Franz Ferdinand - but to be honest...

take a look at the last Johnny Depp/Tim Burton jerk-fest. Willy Wonka. That was all kinds of ****, and were you really expecting anything different from this? Let's face it, it'll be a hit with 15 year old girls who think that just because Depp can walk a bit weirdly, he has depth and charm.

I predict it'll be ****.

[InOne]

Yep, dunno why Disney are killing a classic by re-writing it in a totally pointless way.

That's the thing. No matter how good the film will turn out to be it's going to inevitably attract a gaggle of generic suburban scene kids with self imposed life problems and yearning to be different and noticed through the mediums of combining various glossy colours in their outfits and being 'random' in a desperate plea for any sort of attention. The cinemas will be like a ****ing Oli Sykes lookalike convention. Hundreds of people trying to be different and yet all looking the exact same.

God, I really hate kids.

[Shaun]

I'm only really interested in it because of Alan Rickman and Stephen Fry's involvement. I do like Helena Bonham-Carter too, but she too falls under the "omg i have weird hair loooook" category.

[Stu]

She does a cracking Bellatrix Lestrange and Marla Singer. Not nuts about her apart from that.

[Tom4784]

I never said you were and I agree, Burton at his best only works in certain formats and CATCF wasn't one of them :laugh:

Ironically Burton's version is meant to be more true to the original book in aesthetics and tone then the original animation. the news has been good as well from what I've heard of previews and such.

It might not be as good as the hype surrounding it but I'll be surprised if it turns out as bad as Charlie was.

That's why you go to the cinemas during the week when they're at school :laugh:

The trailer I saw was about Alice going back to Wonderland and the queen had taken over the whole kingdom or something :S

[Shaun]

Being dragged to see CATCF 5 times didn't help my fondness for Burton :( and as for Depp...well...I hated the last two Pirates movies. But he did SOME good stuff [fear and loathing / once upon a time in mexico / that one with cristina ricci as the gypsy]

The story is set like a sequel but I did say that it was the tone and aesthetic that was more true to the source material. The only thing that disappoints me was that when it was being made I was expecting it to be more darker really.

[Beastie]

Erm the song is okay. It might be a "grower".

Indeed, one for the kiddies really. Kinda like the way they killed 'The Magic Roundabout'

[Stu]

In the sense that a tumor grows, yes.

I dunno It's too early to count it out, if they made it too dark then it wouldn't be true to the spirit of the story either. As long as it stays true to feel and spirit of the book then I think it'll be good.

Well can't deny it's a good cast, so may pull it off I guess.

[GypsyGoth]

I like it a lot. I don't love it yet the way I do some of her songs, but yea it's pretty good.

[GhettoSuperstar]

'The Best Damn Thing' is one of my favourite albums ever.

But that was ****ing painful on my ears. She needs to tone it down.

[Enid]

I was expecting it to be a much darker film as well.

Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria:_The_Visions_of_Lewis_Carroll) sounds interesting. I'm sure Manson would pull that sort of thing off wonderfully.

[CaraRawr]

ummmmmm

[Callum]

I really like it actually. Love Avril.

[MrGaryy]

From what I hear, Avril's song WILL feature in the actual movie but the rest is just the score.
