Thank You Tim Burton

[Untilteld]

He brought us such classics as Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, this is just a thread with discussions of all Tim Burton movies.

If there is thread like this already feel free to close.

 

[U.S War Machine]

I would like to thank Burton for Nightmare Before Christmas

 

[xwolverine2]

[Darthphere]

Id like to thank Tim Burton for making those crappy Batman movies.

 

[Speedball]

Thank you Tim Burton.
Thanks for making two stupid Batman films and ruining on of the best films of all time-Planet of the Apes.

 

[Gamma Ray]

I'd like to thank Tim Burton for taking a crap and naming it Planet of the Apes.

 

[DOG LIPS]

Hooray!

 

[Addendum]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure rules!

 

[Darthphere]

That **** owned at the box office yo!

Pee Wee's Big Adventure rules!

Ok that one does, And Beetlejuice was my favorite movie when I was a kid. He has made more good movies than bad ones, it's jus tthe bad ones that really get to me.

 

[Dr. Fate]

While I'd like to thank Tim Burton for the hilarious Beetle-Juice, I'd also like to ask him why there hasn't been a special edition DVD of Beetle-Juice. I mean, this film did so much for his career, it seems a shame that he hasn't gone back to do some kind of retrospective on it.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i want to thank him for making batman and batman returns, especially returns, what a great film.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah penguins with rockets on their backs is awesome......wait, its not.

 

[Speedball]

Yeah, that one was pretty dumb, and that is not how i see Gotham now.

No one has said "I'd hit it." yet. The Hype is slipping into the nothingness!

OMG!

I CAN SEE THE ANTI-MONITOR!

I'd like to thank him for some of the most amazing pieces of cinema I've seen in my life. I can forgive him for Planet Of The Apes (which I have not seen, and don't plan doing so), because everything else I've seen from him has immensely entertained me.

LOL! It was on today.
I like the beginning, and the End is just mindblowing(After he leaves for home), but the middle was just...Blah.

Mars Attacks! is the nineties version of Poseidon Adventure.
All these big actors, dying left and right. I just wish i could see what happened after the film, like is Natalie Portman the new leader of the free world.
My only problem is that he never follows through with the stories, it's always a story that is told in one film. I wanna see what happens to the guy in Planet of the Apes, I wanna see what happened to Lydia and Beetlejuice.

I liked Batman. That's really the only thing he's ever put it out that I've been interested by.

There's supposedly a Beetlejuice 2 in the works. Keaton is trying to ger Burton to give in and make it.

I'd like to thank Tim Burton for making some great movies.
Some movies (like Planet of The Apes, etc.) were really bad, but forgivable.

It could be argued that Burton is very hit-or miss, but that could easily be said of any filmmaker. As Sidney J. Furie once said - "Filmmakers are like gunslingers, and you don't win every duel."

 

[Super Flight]

Edward scissorhands and nightmare before christmas and Big Fish were amazing, thanks for making those tim! great films!

Same with Oliver Stone. He can make some really great films (JFK) and then move onto mediocre-to-downright poor films (Alexander).

I'd like to thank him for introducing Johnny Depp to stardom, I know Johnny did stuff before that but his first collaberation with Tim made him big. Ed Wood was a classic, along with TNBC, Edward Scissorhands, and Beetle-juice of course. Remember guys you can talk about his movies in the works and stuff in here too, anything Tim Burton. Anyone hear about Barber Shop Of Horrors, where Johnny Depp plays a barber who slits the necks of his customers. I believe it's still in the works.
