Tim Burton's genius

[frumpcore bowso]

I hadn't really heard of him before the beginning of the year ( I know but I'm not a film buff) but then saw Sleepy Hollow and Big Fish, and they're just sooooooo cool! Also the book of the melancholy death of oyster boy is very funny but sick at the same time, but mostly funny!

You should see Ed Wood too, it's still great even though it doesn't have an Elfman soundtrack (they had a wee falling out). Plus it has Bill Murray in it.

Wow, I was just about to go and watch it when I read your post. How bizarre!

Also his book The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy and other stories. is brilliant. I wanted to use a couple in English but wasn't allowed.

i love tim burton.....i think i can safely say he is my favorite director

[Dashingmajor]

He is brilliant. He is the only person who made a Batman film, worthy of being a batman film. Those others are just plain shite.
Ed Wood is great, and so is edward scissor hands.
I liked Big Fish a lot too.
He seems to have the ability to tell great stories through film. There should be more directors like him.

Vincent, baby.

[RussellOrGoose]

I like the fact he can create different and unique worlds.Some films just look the same.But with a Tim Burton film you could walk in half way through one and just know by looking he was the director.
His take on Planet Of The Apes was amazing,better than the original.(everyone I talk to forgets he did that)

Hey there sports fans

I cant believe you jus knew about him!! when you see films as

Pee Wee's big adventure
BeetleJuice
Batman
Edward Scissorhands
Batman Returns
Ed Wood

then you'll be amazed. he is the best. anyone seen his lil poem book he made? I got it. it's amazing

{also his planet of the apes woz good but not better than the original in my opinion}
