yes, I have seen that, its also an extra on the TNBC dvd. Have you ever read the Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Tales? I know where your going with the Vincent thing, I've also seen/read almost everything both Burton and Selick have done, separately I mean, and when I look back at TNBC I don't necessarily see either one more than the other, their styles meld pretty well, hence why it worked so well, but I give the credit to Selick over Burton for taking a concept and story and creating a good movie. Good visuals do not always equal good movies. I sometimes think Burton might make a better script writer/producer/cinematographer over director.

Omgoodness, of coursee I've read Oyster Boy. What kind of Burton fan do you take me for? @.@ (<3) Have you seen Frankenweenie or the Faerie Tale Theatre episode of Aladdin? Both of those, Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands I was all over as a child before I even knew they were directed by the same person.
But, I don't really know what's going on in this conversation/demi-argument. You've acknowledged that it's a half-and-half contribution from Selick and Burton. That's all I said in my first statement, that it's a Burton film as well. Movies are collaborative works, I wouldn't say it's more so one person's film than the others, especially in the case of TNBC. |

Last week I watched my probably sickest movie yet:
deadgirl We were all speechless when watching it. Recommendation for anyone who wants to see a horror movie with a moral approach that hurts you in your stomach.

ugh, that movie was so boring to watch and utterly non-shocking that I didn't even finish it. if you want something that actually has an emotional punch and isn't nearly as offensive in its stupidity and handles the subject matter of sexuality better, I'd recommend Antichrist by Lars von Trier.

I just watched "John and Mary". I didn't even know about it before, but it's got 2 years post-Graduate Dustin Hoffman 1 year post-Rosemary's Baby Mia Farrow together -- and they're perfectly charming.
It reminded me a lottt of Brief Encounter. Except it's 60 NYC instead of 30s England, and the characters are complete topsy-turvy. But in any case it's a lovely movie and highly recommended. |

Finally saw El Topo on DVD. Some might find the trailer on YouTube disturbing.
