One time I tried to draw the Jub-Jub Bird, but it looked like Big Bird on acid

Saw Alice in Wonderland today, and it was pretty good.  Not astoundingly great, but worth seeing in the theatre.  But there was one thing that bugged me: they kept referring to the monster as "the Jabberwocky."  Am I crazy or should it be "Jabberwock"?  "Jabberwocky" is the name of the poem, as in "of or relating to the Jabberwock."  The creature is called "the Jabberwock" twice in the text.  That is its name.  Otherwise, it's like spying the bird from Poe's poem and saying, "Look!  It's the The Raven!"

SOMEBODY BACK ME UP HERE.  LET'S WRITE A MILDLY DISPLEASED LETTER.

I'm with you. -_- That is massively annoying.

Ha ha, it's okay. We can all be big nerds together!

You're right. It should be the Jabberwock. And incidentally, actually typing that gave me the creeps. There was a tv adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, and that thing scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a kid.

Haven't seen the film yet. I want to perv over watch Johnny Depp, but haven't gotten around to it yet. :)

Perving over Johnny Depp is a bit... er... difficult in this one. But he's still amazing!

That, sounds like a challenge.

:D

I totally just showed this entry to someone sitting beside me and said, "Do you see this? This is one of my favorite people EVER. And this is why."

(Don't worry, I'm not on a subway, the person currently beside me actually knows me.)

(Probably be funnier if it was on a subway.)

Yeah, my first thought was, "Hope she knows whoever's sitting next to her..." ;o)
