actually I've never seen a bad Tim Burton movie (with the lone exception of Planet of the Apes). I love everything he's done. Big Fish was hilarious and original (I could have done with less of the 'present' and more of the 'past' scenes)

I bought Ed Wood when it FINALLY came out a month or so ago and its genius, I've watched it about 12 times since I got it. Martin Landau def deserved the Oscar and Bill Murray is great as always when he plays a supporting role (he kind of sucks lately in main char roles, although he was good in Rushmore)

A really good Burton site:

I'm another Burton-Elfman fan. This looks good and disturbing. I know the author of Charley wasn't happy with the Wilder movie, so thats half an indorsement right there. Danny Elfman has to get some credit for these movies too. Sleepy Hallow and Nightmare Before Christmas rely on the music for so much.

Did he do the "Batman" films? Batman would have slapped him upside the head for those, but he would have had to wait for me to finish first.

On the other hand, this film may be ideal for Burton. You need to view his work without any previous expectations. He does has an amazing sense of creativity. It just needs to be applied to the right project.

Baring any obscene behavior or language in this film, I'll probably go see it. If it's suitable, I'll even take the kids. Rold Dalh has always been a favorite of mine, and should be a great subject for Burton. I think they see the world the same way.
