Tim Burton Lover


I, as many know, am a huge fan of almost any movie with Tim Burton's name attached to it. I own multiple DVD's with his name on the cover, such as; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Beetlejuice, and probably a few others. To me, Tim Burton is a great director an producer. He takes a shy, pale, outsider, and shows how cruel the world can be to someone just because they are different.

With strong Gothic themes, and very dark humor, I am probably that annoying person you hear laughing when Johnny Depp is slitting throats of his multiple victims.

But, although I am a huge fan of his movies an animation's, I must agree with many critics and say that his new art exhibit is rather suckish. When brought to life, his creations are unique and genius. But on a blank canvas, they are rather amateur, and are to reminisce of Edward Gorey and Ralph Steadman. Not to say that all of his drawings were not original, many original sketches from movies like Edward Scissor Hands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, that are rather interesting, but more for a fan of his movies, and not the average art conasewerw.
