This particular spot doesn't have any major spoilers in it, so I
recommend it to you.

Last night, I sat through an entire crap-filled hour of Friends and Jesse.
There wasn't single "Spotlight Show" commercial. Instead, I get a plethora of
previews for the almost blasphemous adaption of _Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland_.
Question:
Where was this crazy promo? Should I have endured Veronica's Closet as well?

Hmmm. I was pretty sure it was on during Frasier, cause I don't watch V's
Closet and I saw it. Then again, maybe I was fastforwarding through that
show to get to ER. But I still think it might of been like at the end of
Frasier or something...

will air, maybe Newsradio will get a commerical during it or on Monday during
Suddenly Susan or whatever movie of the week NBC is airing. I can't believe we
are finally the "spotlight show of the week" what an honor. this is so much
better than being #10 on Entertainment weekly's list.

the only show that i watched from beginning to end was friends...i had the tv
on during the other three (before setting a tape for er, when i realized that
there was no way i was making it thru it!) and it came on during that time. i
heard the beginning of the ad and ran to the tv. so, maybe it wasn't on during
frasier, but it was on!

Guilty as charged, Your Honor. But hey... at least I warn YOU all
when there's a big nasty spoiler in the promos!

Not at all. It's a show that my bosses find particularly funny
and/or memorable...

Eh? The producer's made a point of being very faithful to the
original text.... maybe a bit -too- much so for viewability. (Is that
a word?) I liked it a good deal...

In general, I'm opposed to screen adaptions of such books. I hate the 1939
"Wizard of Oz" and there's nothing that will change that fact for me.
In the case of Sunday's "Alice," I disagree with sandwiching of the plot within
a story of stagefright - if one wants to be faithful to the original text, why
not *be* faithful? IMHO, as well, the directing was poor and I just couldn't
stand the stylization of the filming. The pastel landscape seemed more suited
to a high-budget-high-concept sneaker commercial, and as a whole the version
was more like a showcase for nifty special effects and casting than tribute to
Lewis Carroll's work.
The book is so verbally based that it just doesn't translate well besides,
especially when the translation bombards one with techniques that are
irritating even in high-budget-high-concept sneaker commercials.

I agree with all of your post re: NBC's Alice, but let me add that there's a
marvelous, charming version of "Alice in Wonderland", done sometime in the 80's
for the stage that they used to show on Great Performances on PBS, that was
very faithful, offering no extraneous plot and keeping with the surrealistic
flow of the original text. It starred Kate Burton who was marvelous as Alice,
Austin Pendleton as a hilariously deadpan White Rabbit, Nathan Lane as a very
wet mouse, Andre Gregory as an irritable Mad Hatter, Colleen Dewhurst as a
regal, diva-esque Red Queen, Richard Burton in a moving performance as the
White Knight, Maureen Stapleton as a grandmotherly/completely loony White
Queen, and, my favorite, Donald O'Conner as the Mock Turtle. I could watch that
part over and over.
It starred a bunch of other great people too but I don't really remember their
names. <g>
I'm babbling now. You didn't ask for a video review. But there it is.
(Okay, I *DO* have Alice fever lately. So? So what?)

And would this work of Lewis Carroll's be the countless nude photgraphs he took
of underage girls? (I'd love to see the network television take on THAT.)
Busy as hell... just starting to catch up with two weeks of posts...
