It's the classic remakes I think he goes a bit overboard with. Too drawn out. Though the standout to his recent crop of pix has to be Helen B. Carter. She is truly one of the most underrated actresses. Though lately she's been just relegated to a Depp punchline partner. How sad is that?Copyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339752422561039109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-13445699364037666032010-03-08T07:26:46.122-06:002010-03-08T07:26:46.122-06:00Other than Edward Scissorhands and Beetle Juice, I...Other than Edward Scissorhands and Beetle Juice, I never really paid much attention to Tim Burton and now the hubs wants to see this in 3D. So not looking forward to it.

Brian Fuller made another show that aired for less than one season on Fox back in like 2003(?) called "Wonderfalls" - it features one or two of the same actors, there are a few references and inside jokes embedded in Pushing Daises, and although ENTIRELY different in plot and visuals and writing style, it still has the same quirky feel and the same type of humor. So fantastic. If you haven't seen it, please check it out.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169659895652699244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-63714478727179745452010-03-07T12:00:41.451-06:002010-03-07T12:00:41.451-06:00I just found your comment on my photoblog...Good t...I just found your comment on my photoblog...Good thing I look at my Blogger dashboard once in a while. I thought I recognized your name, but after following the link to your profile, I knew where I'd seen you before: Cal's!<br /><br />I like Tim Burton well enough, but I'm not a huge buff or anything. I am very curious about his version of Alice, though, because I am a fan of that story and have been since I was a child. I think Burton's style would work well with Carroll's vision. Of course I live in the boonies, so seeing this any time soon is not going to happen.Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-42811338167759820372010-03-07T10:48:53.284-06:002010-03-07T10:48:53.284-06:00The second I saw the trailer for AiWL, all I could...The second I saw the trailer for AiWL, all I could think was "God damnit, not again.."

Tim Burton, unfortunately, has been trying to 'out-Burton' himself with every movie he makes. Fortunately for him, most of the worst movies that he puts out are better than most of the best movies from other directors.... I'll keep giving him a chance.California Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09105598836618841680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-76640704410384037752010-03-06T11:23:09.072-06:002010-03-06T11:23:09.072-06:00Hi TS,

I did not read I Am Legend but I too thought the movie was crap. <br /><br />Speaking of sequels that are better. I thought Mission:Impossible was great and so was the third but the second one sucked. Maybe that wasn't the best comparison. <br /><br />I'm a big fan of Chuck Palahniuk. You should read Fight Club and Choke. Choke as a movie wasn't that good.Powdered Toast Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195170076576384695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-28747098985324241332010-03-06T02:44:26.952-06:002010-03-06T02:44:26.952-06:00I have to say I am have enjoyed almost all of Tim ...I have to say I am have enjoyed almost all of Tim Burton's movies. I really liked Sweeney Todd and I too have to admit I really liked Big Fish. <br /><br />As for I am Legend, my wife loved it. I thought it was good but thought the alternate ending was way better then the original. I wouldn't mind seeing the second if the story is well written.<br /><br />Speaking of Sequels that may or may not be better then the original did anyone see the special on Sci-Fi a while back called Tin Man which was a sequel to The Wizard of Oz? I actually really liked it and would recommend it to fans of the original, but want a darker tale.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455193265889351170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-63389558102083015222010-03-05T20:19:42.617-06:002010-03-05T20:19:42.617-06:00I like Tim Burton but I'm not a big Alice fan....I like Tim Burton but I'm not a big Alice fan... so I don't know what to expect. I'll be waiting for the dvd.<br /><br />I didn't read I Am Legend but one of my friends explained the difference to me and it totally changed my perspective. I didn't really like the movie to start with, but after hearing how vastly it differed from the book... even more disappointing...Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843060336452856402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-30288430157744809892010-03-05T19:55:04.481-06:002010-03-05T19:55:04.481-06:00I haven't read "I am Legend" but I a...I haven't read "I am Legend" but I am going to have to now. <br /><br />I love Tim Burton and while I enjoyed "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" I do feel it was a disappointment and I feel that "Alice" is going to be the exact same. But I have to cop to loving "Big Fish" my dad is a huge story teller (and a very good one) and the film was visually beautiful, so it would have been hard for me not to like it.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169659895652699244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-11709468840713199102010-03-05T19:46:50.026-06:002010-03-05T19:46:50.026-06:00"I am Legend" has a special place in my ..."I am Legend" has a special place in my heart. I read it one summer after I read the 'Godfather' by Mario Puzo. I was all of 11 and both were books my mother thought wasn't good for me to read because they would introduce me to 'adult' themes. I think it was at that moment that I became a rebel like Johnny Yuma was a rebel and we all know what a rebel Johnny Yuma was.<br /><br />Speaking of books made into movies, I read a terrific article in EMPIRE magazine about Alejandro Jadorowsky's attempts to make DUNE with people like Salvador Dali involved. Giger, Mobeus...would have been a hell of a trip. DUNE is my favorite book and while I have only seen a couple of Jadorowsky's films (he's batshit crazy) I would have loved to see what he did with the material.Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661166796814911221.post-41213042904270052382010-03-05T17:44:26.607-06:002010-03-05T17:44:26.607-06:00I am a Burton fan through and through.

I am looking forward to "Alice" mainly because the only adaptation of the book (I did my thesis on) I liked was a made for TV mini series in the 80s starring Roddy McDowel as the white rabbit. I wish I had more info on that. I am "curiouser and curioser" about what Burton will do with the film. <br /><br />I too read "I am Legend" and found the film to be typical Hollywood fare. Mehhhhhhhh. It is sad too because the novel is extraordinary to say the least. <br />Great post... I am long windedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
