New trailer for Alice: Madness Returns

Here's the third trailer for American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns (it ends fairly gory). It has a nice look, but I sure hope it's got a lot less jumping than the last game.

Alice in Wonderland-themed party invitation

Jag Nagra:

After a life-long dream of my best friend, we decided to throw a Wonderland-inspired Mad Tea Party. Sent out first, was the “You are cordially invited” set. No specific event details were given at that point.

A few weeks later, the 11″x 17″ “Calling Card” was mailed to each guest in a mailing tube (return address from Wonderland, of course). On the bottom of the poster was the riddle, “Why is the Raven like a Writing Desk?” and each person was given a specific time for when they’d be phoned and asked for their answer to the riddle. When the answer was given, the guest was told more event details.

A week later, “Drink Me” glass bottles were hand delivered to each guests’ front door, and the specific event details were rolled up and placed inside the bottles.

Link roundup

1. Secret Cinema tickets go on sale tomorrow.

2. Knave of Hearts concept art from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie.

3. Drew Magary's latest NFL preview column made me laugh out loud repeatedly. But the column's tremendously offensive, so I'm not going to say which parts were funny. Also, I learned something:

I worked in an office last week, and this office had an editing bay with a program that allowed you to search the closed captioning on any television show that has aired within the past 60 days or so. So if you enter any word or phrase, like "angry pirate," the program will find every mention of that phrase and compile all the video segments together for you. This is what "The Daily Show" uses any time they stitch together 56 reporters all using the exact same political talking point.

I felt like an idiot when they showed me this program, because I had always assumed that the "Daily Show" had found those clips manually, that they employed some poor group of hipster interns who had to sit there all goddamn day watching cable news, trying to sift out any common sound bites, then rewind through hours of tape to put the clip montage together.

Harajuku Girl dolls, an Alice-eque heroine, and monstrous desserts star in Mizna Wada's "Yummy Haunts" show at Gallery Nucleus. Below are afew of my favorites:



















Junko Mizuno also has several new creations in the show, but they're a little too disturbingly sexual (think Takashi Murakami) for me to post.
