    I know, I'm just giving you a hard time I was raised to view just about everything as a joke

    Is Tim Burton trying to suggest mercury induced insanity and Madonna-esque make-up equates with kilt wear? We need to know.

    Ya know, I've seen all the trailers and I never noticed until I read this post. Now, I definitely recall Depp in a kilt. Anyways, I hardly notice things like that anymore. I was talking to a customer at work the other day for about 30 minutes before I realized she looked like she fell face first into a tackle box.

    at first I thought that was an insult, it took me a bit too long for it to click that you meant you didn't realize the person was into the peircing fun. Old age must be creeping up on me fast this week.

    Is that it?? I just thought she meant that the customer had had some kind of accident.

    Sorry. I didn't realize how abstract that comment was. She had several facial piercings. "Oddballs" don't phase me a bit. It's like the Shallow Hal effect. Ya know, where he saw past outer appearances? Kilts just don't register, unless the man's wearing a really nice sporran or pin.

    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 noticed he spoke in a Scottish accent whenever he was talking about battle, rebellion, and the Queen of Hearts...

    he based his accent on Rab C Nesbitt apparently he was told to view the show by his voice coach Gerry Grennell to get the scots voice for the character
