i never thought i would see a thread anywhere in my lifetime where one person - let alone a bunch - used the words :

"i was dissapointed by the oompa-loompas"

:D

Batman Begins
Cinderella Man
Haute Tension
The Machinist
Sin City

just my opinions

them oompa's had me shakin my ass in my seat.

Tim Burton has lost all his talent. Now he is just a hack remaking movies for money. Defend him all you want. I hate Burton and wanna punch him in the face.

saw it today - i enjoyed it but it wasnt as good as the origional.

everyone thought that this one would be darker - but it wasnt. (quite the opposite)

Gene Wilder made a fine Willy Wonka ... he was always on the ball... on top of everyone ..

Depp played it as the confused manchild with fatherhood issues ...
And then that had to be explored (boring all of the kids in the theatre)

I did like the oompa loompas - i liked the different spin on each song ..


but yeah i agree ... Tim Burton isnt 'tim burton' anymore.

Did you guys see the trailer for Corpse Bride, Tim Burton used the same music from NIghtmare befor Christmas. I dont think this Corpse Bride movie will be all that hot.

I doubt the music in the movie will be "what's this?" from NBC. lots of movies use different music in the trailer than they do in the final movie. Lemony Snickett's trailer (and many others) also use music from NBC. Corpse Bride will rule. it doesn't matter how trendy or whatever it turns out to be, it's a stop motion animation feature about a guy who accidentally marries a corpse. it can't be bad.

most trailors now feature well known music from other films for the purposes of association.

It is supposed to appeal to you on the grounds that you liked the movie it came from origionally.
in this sense it was a no brainer - both burton animated films - same style ..etc ..
the music invokes Nightmare Before Christmas and layers it on the movie you're watching the ad for..

so by assiciation - you'll like it too and want to see it ...based on how you felt about the origional..

Remaking Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is blasphemy.

They should have done Willy Wonka and the Great Glass Elevator.
