Again, it's the sum of its parts and not the whole thing that I love about it. It's not a story with a beginning, middle and end like "The Wizard of Oz" which I much more prefer. Still, there's something about the madness of it all which, I guess, is the same reason why I like Jim's script for "Rhinegold".
I've been wanting to see a legitimate horror version of "Alice" for years and American McGee's brilliant game is as close as it has come.
