You. MORON. The only even vague similarity of the two was the style of the characters. Completely different storyline, as well as characters. Dont get me wrong, TNBC was the better movie, but Corpse Bride was most definitley unique and awesome.

And yes cacahuate, Jhonen is better.

Merkava:
Not a moron; just a person who understands the nature of Burton fans enough to piss them off just the right way.

Still, Corpse Bride was a pretty lame movie. There haven't been many times where I've walked out of a theater thinking "what was the point of that"?

Honestly, the plot had no real point. I had no emotional attachment to anyone in that movie, and everything was predictable. I wouldn't use predictable as a critique if Tim Burton and the movie weren't so praised for being so original and inventive. Sorry, but I was bored throughout the whole movie. Mabe people should watch some real brilliant and inventive movies like Memento. Damn that movie was awesome. <3

I'm convinced Elfman is far more talented, though. I'm biased towards musical artists :) He's done a lot more than just movies...hell, everyone's heard something from him, even if they don't realize it.

Slightly off topic, but seriously, guys, go get an Oingo Boing record (Elfman's band in the 80's, for you people who suck).


Either way, I'm pretty burned out with Burton. I fucking love Beetlejuice though. That movie wins. Corpse bride though? Just kinda meh. The ending bugged me ("Wait, she turned into butterflies? What is this scenester/emo bullshit?" was my first reaction).

Memento was super awesome.

and Jhonen Vasquez FTW. JTHM rocks out.

I'm doing an auteur theory project on him.
He rocks.
While working on the fox of the hand he actually went insane and bit people.
Man he's great.

i love tim burton.  yeah sideways, you're right.  i'm no movie buff, thus i can't say whether he's a genius or a fuckwad.  but some of my favorite movies are burton/depp collaborations.  charlie and the chocolate factory and edward scissorhands?  marvellous!

and then of course i loved both nightmare before christmas and big fish.

if you want to say i have horrible taste in films, you're probably right.  i am a huge fab of napoleon dynamite, after all. ;)  but the one who sounds like an indie kid here is you.  you are being elitist about movies/directors the same way scenesters are about music/bands.

if me being a burton fan makes you think lesser of my intelligence, then so be it.  that's more your problem than mine.
