To all the people raising swords and pistols at the mere mention of Tim Burton's name...
A message from Chris:
Hes not that bad. So he's not a groundbreaking genius who makes unforgettably deep characters. Hs stuff is gorgeous, and at the very least it's damn fine fairy-tale style material. He may not generate oscar-winning, mindfucking depth in his films, but they're pretty, fun, and iconic in their own way. Who here can say, all emo hot-topic jizz aside, that they completely hate Edward Scissorhands? Does it deserve an Oscar? Who gives a fuck. It's a beautiful little fairytale with great visuals and awesome music.
I don't mean that in a Michael Bay kind of way. I'm not saying that if it's pretty and colorful it's worth seeing - example: Batman and Robin. That all 'round sucked huge walrus penor. I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong with relying on a visual element as long as it doesn't overtake the story. Edward Scissorhands could have been written as a children's book. All of Burton's movies could, and that's just fine with me. Not all directors can be Stanley Kubrick or the Cohen Brothers. And if that's the only kind of shit you like, then you are a closedminded idiot and need to stop being an elitist cockfuck.
Burton's movies are movies everyone can understand, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
