Big "freaking" Fish

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Wow, I saw this movie yesterday and all I have to say is wow. Tim Burton is a damn near genius. The story, characters, plot, everything about this movie is excellent. Everything about it is just so touching. Every character is somehow either fun or just so touching. And the one person's wife is french, and cute. So I guess I won't be so hard on the french as much.

But overall, great film. Everyone should see it. And I mean everyone. That includes Entropy, 42, Tage, Fell, SE, Brenna, MoD, etc, etc, Jeffe, and so on.

I plan too, I understand its about telling stories and beliving in your loved ones. My kind of movie.

From the first time I saw the trailer for this, I wanted to see it.  Looks amazing.  I was annoyed it went into limited release for so long before coming out here.  Haven't see it yet, though--will have to go next week.

I haven't even heard of it before. Talk to me goose

The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

[Entsuropi]

Eh. I'm not gonna watch a movie without comedy, gunfire, or all of the above.

[EUOL]

What about strangeness?  This is, after all, Tim Burton we're talking about.  The movie is bound to be a little bit abnormal.  

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Yeah, just look what he did to Batman

[Entsuropi]

Tim burton, tim burton...

Nope, I dont think I've watched one of his movies.

[Spriggan]

edward scissorhands
first two batman movies
the planet of the apes remake
nightmare before christmass
sleepy hollow

to name a few.

If you haven't seen the Nightmare Before Christmas, you should run out and rent it.  

And Sprig, you forgot the paramount Tim Burton film: Beetlejuice.  A true classic.

And, of course, there's always Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.  He also did Mars Attacks, but that one's a little less popular.

[Entsuropi]

Hmm. I love sleepy hollow, the batman movies were trash, planet of the apes was average. I saw beetlejuice when i was 10 or something, been wanting to watch it again ever since.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I can't believe *anyone* can rate PotA average when he calls the original Batman "trash." I mean, yeah, it's not hte greatest, but Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton both did pretty incredible jobs. And Burton didn't screw it up that bad. THere's a couple things I didn't like, but over all it was pretty solid.

[EUOL]

I really liked the original Batman--and I think Burton added a lot to the feel of the movie.  PotA is, in my opinion, his weakest movie.  

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, come to think of it. It's Batman Returns that I have my qualms with. And really, I don't have that many for that. It's when you get to the third one (that I don't believe Burton worked on) that they started really doing lame things like gang fights in dayglow paint.
