PEATS! Wow. | Shocking that teenagers wouldn't want to wear traditional kilts just like the ones their grandfathers are wearing.  |

I'm only surprised they're not directly selling Depp's get up from the movie. Yet.

Those Hot Topic/Tripp kilts have been around a long time, and have been the subject of multiple threads, some of which have devolved into unpleasantness. (Use the search feature to find them.) May I suggest we stay on the subject of the movie in this thread?
Best regards,
Jake

Saw the movie 3-28, loved the Mad Hatter in a kilt, loved the tartan!

Did you notice that Depp's Mad Hatter kept switching back and forth between two voices/accents? A soft feminine English accent and a deeper Scottish accent. Very strange... but the character is mad, after all.

I saw it yesterday. Depp did a good job as the slightly off-kilter Hatter.
Of course, I also liked Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat and Paul Whitehouse as the March Hare (Welsh rabbit?).
Now the main question is - has anyone identified the Mad Hatter's tartan yet? Reddish-brown with blue, possibly something weathered? Anyone?

I think it was the best movie Glasgow accent I've heard since Leonidas said "This is Sparta!"
