Tim Burton!

[Hel]

This is a little random but...isn't he awesome? He's fricking made of awesome! Don't even SAY he's not made of awesome.

Sorry, I'm a very big fan and wondered if my fellow Nerdfighters were too? If so, what are your favourite films of his?

Mine are: Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, NBC, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...
I just realised that I'm gonna end up listing every one of his films.
Heh.

For our birthday (twins), we decided to rent Ed Wood (because who doesn't love watching a crossing-dressing, eccentric movie director fail miserably--but with such optimism--at his job?) My bestfriend ended up falling alseep halfway through the movie (despite her love for Johnny Depp). The next morning she was like "that was the worst movie ever." My response: "It was suppose to be. It was suppose to be horrible because Wood was such a bad director."

Actually, I thought it was good; great even when compared to Blood Rayne, Blood and Chocolate (the movie, not the book), Gabriel.

Oh, I know I actually love that movie cos the awfulness makes me laugh.

I think its a good movie.

If you thought it was good, you need to rent Ed Wood: Look Back in Angora. Its not by Tim Burton...but it's the 'True Story of Hollywoods Most Eccentric Filmmaker.' and is quite entertaining. I died of laughter during it, too.

seen sweeney todd too many times. have now perfected my timing so as to turn away exactly as he cuts their throats.

Absolutly. My favorite director of all times. (Loves Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands) :D

Tim Burton is definately made of awesome.

Although I am ashamed to say it, one of my favourite films by him is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I think that is because it was the first film by him I saw, and I just love the whole story of it. Oddly enough, I went to see it for my sister's birthday, and the choice was CATCF or Corpse Bride (Which I love as well.) My all time favourite has to be Vincent though (it's the short film on the NBC DVD.)

The only thing that annoys me about him (and it is in no way his fault) is that everyone at my school 'loves' him either because 1. He created Nightmare Before Christmas or 2. A lot of his films have Johnny Depp in them. One of my 'friends' created a fan group for him on Bebo that just consisted of pictures of Johnny Depp.

[Hel]

Ugh, I hate that too! It's so annoying when people only watch his films for Johnny Depp. It's like 'no you do NOT love Tim Burton films you're a friggin' teenie after Johnny Depp'.

I think he's amazing, he's just brilliant. So imagintative, all his films are different and a bit out there, plus he must be chums with johnny depp by now which makes him even cooler. :P

[SecretCousinAngel]

yes he is genius cinema director... he is indeed made of awesome

[Jenn]

Absolutely. My fav Tim Burton film is Beetlejuice. Classic ;)
Big Fish is my next favorite.
I just looked over at my movies and I realized I own an awful lot of his movies.
...But I'm not complaining. They're awesome movies!

[Evelyne]

God, I forgot about Beetlejuice. That was in the top five of my childhood favourites.

[Lauren M.]

Beetlejuice freaks me out.

I mean, I've seen scarier...but it...AHHH.

I like it though.
