Dark Shadows by Tim Burton: dear God.....

[Dr.Mirakle32]

This movie could seriously go either way. I just hope that's vampire sunscreen.

Why would anyone think that's supposed to be sunscreen? Have you not seen any of Burton's recent movies? Willy Wonka & Mad Hatter are also that pale white for ____s sake.

I dunno. It's not sunscreen. You can see in the pics that there's darker shading on his cheeks suggesting it's make-up.

Exactly. And like I pointed out last night, that's the same makeup scheme (white w/ dark shading on cheeks ) he had on his face in ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Maybe Burton feels that if he turns Johnny into Elijah Wood again, there's something less pedo about him whacking to Johnny vs. him whacking to Elijah?

I'm beginning to wonder if Burton's thinking is something along the lines of "Let's see if people will still throw money at me if I go BEYOND STUPID!"

I'm not the freak who had the Joker fanboy sploogefest here. It was someone else with claims of greatness who couldn't deal with the reality check. While I liked TDK, I despise the Joker aspect of it now thanks to the Ledger nut hickey leeches who'd give anything to suck the stains out of his dead, soiled chonies. When I look at that role, I see something there that works in Nolan's universe (and only in that universe). I see a good actor who had fun with a great part. Case closed. I don't see God's gift to cinema, I don't see anything original, and I guarangoddamtee I don't see anything Oscar worthy.

Edit: Now to get back on topic, the comparison to Joker has me worried. I didn't like Nolan's and I don't like this. And if this means we get to look forward to a bunch of borderline gay emo fanboys with identity crises latching onto Depp's Barnabas like he's the Jesus ____ing Christ of horror, then that doubles my desire to see this locked in the colon of Hollywood for the rest of eternity.

LOL, chonies. Bonus points for saying that NAM.

Verily, thou has spoken.

Except for the Alice part. I liked that movie. It was fun. The only TB movie I have seen that I didn't like was PotA.

Big Fish sucked.
Willy Wonka was no Willy Wonka.
Corpse Bride was a retread.
PofTA was just plain ____.
Alice was a lesson in just cause you can doesn't mean you should.

Ledger never impressed me as an actor until TDK.

I know this will get ridiculed but he was good in 10 Things I hate about you and Brokeback Mountain.

Actually, NAM, I just want you to get it right. I splooge over Depp, not Ledger. The rest I really don't care about.

You're not a girl?

Woah, woah, woah, hold on. Wait a minute. You mean to tell me, after all this time that Rzeznikk is a dude?

I always assumed that Rzeznikk's avatar was a picture of herself, er, himself. So all this time I've been fapping to the cleavage and posts of a man?

I think he took that guy's wallet.

This thread is gay. Un-PC ftw!

Yup!

Difabio is definitely gay. It's in the name.

My name is pronounced, Dee-Fay-Bee-O, DeeFayBeeO, DiFabio. Not Dee-Fabio or Die-Fabio as in Fabio the gay, butter, model guy.

Huh, I had no idea.

America is gay for sushi all of a sudden. How did that happen?

Uh-uh.

Wishful thinking on my part.

I'm beginning to wonder if Burton's thinking is something along the lines of "Let's see if people will still throw money at me if I go BEYOND STUPID!"

That's called Planet of the Apes.

Big Fish sucked.
Willy Wonka was no Willy Wonka.

I like Big Fish, but I'm getting old so ya gotta cut me some slack. Nostalgia and all.
And I actually like Deep Roy as all of the Oompa Loompas in TBs Wonka, so I'll forgive him that hot mess.

Otherwise, I'm with ya, bub.

Willy Wonka is a classic that shouldn't of even been considered for a remake, just considering a remake was the begining for a fail.

You kind of have to have aging parents and kids of your own to appreciate Big Fish for the beautiful movie it is.

There are things about Gene Wilder's Charlie and the Choco that I like better than Depp's Willy Wonka, but conversely there are also things I like better about Depp's than the Wilder version. I can appreciate each one on it's own merits without letting easy nostalgia or internet fanboy hyperbole cloud my judgement.

See, I think Big Fish is fine with all of the Ewan MacGregor stuff. But I still don't see where the hostility/drama comes from Billy Crudup's character towards Albert Finney's father character. I enjoyed all of the tall tales but the real life stuff fell flat/sappy to me. And I am a father and also a sucker for this type of material. But this just didn't work for me.

Burton's already screwing with the plot. Dr. Hoffman is the family's live in psychiatrist in his "vision" instead of a blood specialist. I'm sorry---but its not sounding/looking very good for this film. I was excited when I first heard the news. But my excitement has been replaced with dread.
