Tim Burton

people assume this guy to be an amazing director and I enjoy his movies as much as the next half deranged person but honestly, with the exception of Nightmare before Christmas, and a few others, nothing he's done is original. he takes movies or other things people have done and remakes them.

    Everything today is a remake of something. Wether its movie ideas taken from a book or video games based on movies. Either way, TB will always have his twisted vision. Thats what makes him and his art unique.

    He is one of my favorite artists/ directors ever ..... I think he is brilliant. He even makes his re-makes his own, one of my favorites is his Alice & Wonderland.. I adore it. His work is always distinct and recognizable, love his style.

    I just read today there is talk of a Beetlejuice sequel/remake. Hollywood is definitely running out of ideas. I don't believe I saw all of "Nightmare" and the previews for "Alice" spooked me a bit! Obviously, not in a scary way, the characters just creeped me out.

    YOU DO NOT REMAKE CLASSICS! it's 100% wrong.

    as for Alice, my dad hates that story cuz it's disturbing. I loved it though, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter was perfect, but Sweeney Todd was my favorite Burton/Depp collab. I can't wait for Dark Shadows as well. Johnny finally playing a vampire.
