Today is the Birthday of Tim Burton.....!!!
He has made more than a few of my favorite Films...
Beetleuice was a favorite ... Great "Fun" movie...
His version of Mars Attacks was truly Enjoyable... "Ack,Ack Nakk...!!!"
And the first two Batman films.... We thoroughly enjoyed...
And even in the early 80's the studio had decided that "Jack" was to be "The Joker"....
And a completely "new look" for the Penguin.....
He has tried to "distance" himself from his version of Dark Shadows...
some great performances, but the "magic" of the original show was "Lost" in this film...
That was a "story-line" that he did not "get" ,... So he made his Own version of how he "perceived the Story concept... ... And Not doing this Great series "Justice"...
And of course "Sweeney Todd"... a favorite Villain of mine since early childhood (we had read the mid 1800's version as a child... and loved him and the "Meat Pie Lady"...
and "Halloween Town"....
one of my favorite scenes... "and what did Santa bring You...??"
Even the Wonderful "stop-motion" animated ..."Nightmare Before Christmas"...!!!
Just checked "Stats"... and a cool Number (for All-Time" views) 777,777....!!!
