ALICE IN WONDERLAND

I saw Woody Allen and Mia Farrow walking along a NYC sidewalk last Friday in a strange dream. Woody was walking so fast that Mia could not keep up. After he crossed a street corner well ahead of her and disappeared into the crowd, she noticed that I was about ready to start my sidewalk performance, once Jeff Goldblum was done with his own one man play in the same space. So she came over and said hello. Shortly thereafter, Goldblum's sidewalk play ended very dramatically, with him laying face down next to a smashed HEINEKEN bottle. Then he got up and walked away without saying a word.

Scanning the NYT Sunday inside SAFEWAY, I found a rare copy of Woody's 1990 Alice in Wonderland comedy entitled ALICE, on half-off close-out for only $2. Depicting Mia on the box watching the same thing that Jennifer Garner is watching in her AMERICAN GRAFFITI sock hop portrait. Seen at:

The story kicks into gear when a wealthy and culturally hypnotized Alice goes to an Asian doctor from the Yellow Sea region in Obama's Chinatown to find a drastic cure to why "I spend hours trying to hold onto my youth..." That involves her confusion about role playing the REV.17 whore, as the film cuts to various prophetic images of black Malcolm X Obama [New Orleans jazz] figures; confirmed by a 1961 bottle of bloody red wine under an illuminating display of crystal lights.

In the climax, the doctor goes off to study some miraculous new cures in the newly discovered lost Israelite scrolls found in THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. While the men folk who look like the future Al Franken senator continue to chase after the hypnotic whore of Babylon.

The last shot shows a completely changed woman. Who spends her time now helping friends, family, and others, like Sandra Bullock, and having swinging threesomes. While others are left to joke about some 40+ gal named Gloria Phillips, whose changed face looks so young now that they can't recognize her anymore.
