I went to an opening-day late showing of that Alice movie. The entire crowd was packed with people who were obviously into various gothy-esque subcultures. Probably a third of the crowed had left by the middle of the movie. Ad-hoc riffing on the movie started among the entire crowd when we all realized what we were watching. And you could hear a pin drop during Johnny Depp's dance scene.
Yeah, trying to make the damn Mad Hatter to be Alice's love interest was astonishingly stupid and inappropriate. But Depp was a brand unto himself at that time, he could make a lot of demands.
Behold the horror. In the theatre it was totally silent during this. The whole crowd was looking at each other in "am I really seeing this?" incredulity.
