Sleepy Hollow and Planet of the Apes were the one-two punch that pretty much TKO-ed Burton out of my favor.

the worst thing about the fudderwacken is EVERYTHING

the constant back and forth confused me, still the idea of the film is awful, Burton or no
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 16 March 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of liked Sleepy Hollow, but Apes was awful.
Apes was okay, I enjoyed it enough while watching it but have zero desire to ever see it again

i don't understand why Hollywood launched 900 "dark reinterpretation of a fairytale" tv shows and movies before a single one succeeded. Sure, it's a logical follow up to hit superhero and vampire movies, but it really does seem like a thousand ships were launched before we'd ok'd a single one. Unless Alice counts.

Oh, god, I did see Planet of the Apes. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

lol never realized two of his movies are "Johnny Depp IS Ed..."

I saw Big Fish, too! Obviously I have repressed all memory of having seen these movies why because they are terrible.

Gonna start working on my fantastical script for Edison because seriously how could Tim and Johnny resist

I don't remember Sleepy Hollow, does anyone care to say more about it, pro or con?Planet of the Apes was so awful.I didn't see AIW.
― MrDasher, Friday, 16 March 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
I think I still own Big Fish, I bought it at one of those Blockbuster sales where you could buy DVDs for like $2. Still overpaid by about $3, imho.
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 16 March 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
Sleepy Hollow had Johnny Depp doing a Doctor Who impersonation and was chock full of comedy decapitations; it was great!

comedy decapitations
yes, this is pretty much what I remember
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 16 March 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
also Christina Ricci making like zero impact as the love interest
― thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Friday, 16 March 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
oh no, Tim Burton had an idea for a movie that he is no longer attached to, the future is so bleak now
2012 is a bittersweet year

btw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure > Batman Returns > Batman

Sleepy Hollow was the last time Burton made a movie that I didn't find outright offensive. "Doctor Who impersonation and was chock full of comedy decapitations; it was great!" is about right.

OMG thanking Abbbottt for that clip. That's one of my favorite trex trax and I have NEVER seen that particular Bolan look. O_O

Yeah, no kidding! Pee-Wee was Burton hitting his apex right out of the gate.
I wish I could find a clip of Christopher Walken going "RAAR!" like a scaaaary monster. That's the thing I remember most from Sleepy Hollow.

DJP I AM SO GOING TO FLAG POST YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT THE FUDDERWACKEN GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL
Depp has some really funny beats in that trailer, but the 70's joeks are definitely, definitely played out.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
Apes was kind of worth it for the art direction. I'll never see Big Fish because the Spaulding Gray thing freaks me out.
― Axolotl with an Atlatl (Jon Lewis), Friday, 16 March 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
Big Fish is gorgeous. I love it.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea about the Spalding Gray connection until just now.

(which was mostly just two hours of Tim Burton urinating on Lewis Carroll's corpse).

Yeah, the "Fudderwacken" scene just ratchets it up to defecation for the finale.

Got to say this looks ok!
I got a sort of Wes Anderson vibe from bits of it.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 16 March 2012 16:52 (twelve years ago) link
If Big Fish hadn't finished Spaulding the fudderwacken would have.

grr Burton's Alice in Wonderland just makes me ANGRY

I got over the Depp/Bonham-Carter/Burton triangle a long time ago (I think the last thing I saw was Willy Wonka), but this looks positively awesome. Will see!
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 16 March 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
I hear Burton was going to remake Charlie's Angels with dead corpse ladies that shoot tiger claws from their anuses when they laugh but then he decided instead to save the world by Destroying Alice in Wonderland and leaving the charming spot it once occupied in the collective mind with a substance fouler than any the universe has ever knowed

this will probably be cheesy and awful but I'm inclined to give it a chance since the source material really wasn't that great (unlike Burton's other depp abominations, charlie and the chocolate factory and alice in wonderland) to begin with.
as for mirror, mirror: I think taht will be good. I like Tarsem. It's certainly more promising than the other Snow White movie which would have me believe that Kristin Stewart is prettier than Charlize Theron.

Man...if Mirror, Mirror looks good to you, it's probably long past time for your cataract checkup.

I have a 5 1/2 year old so it looks good in that context (ie: movie I can take him to and not want to cut my head off)

― the kids of boris midney high (get bent), Friday, 16 March 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno, maybe it'll be good and just has a lousy trailer. wouldn't be the first time. but like i said, the "dude from the past cannot comprehend our modern doodads" humor is plaaaaaaayed and seemed really stale to me.
― the kids of boris midney high (get bent), Friday, 16 March 2012 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
at least the good thing about it being set in the '70s is there won't be any iphone joeks.
