Tim Burton should be everything that I love about films and then he killed Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks. Before he made me a hater, I'd seen Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands (both beautiful). And then I felt I couldn't watch any more of his films until last year when I channel-hopped into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and decided to give it five minutes. I love the original and was intrigued that he actually topped it. His version was superb. In the spirit of forgiveness I made it my business to watch the Corpse Bride. And it's just wonderful. If we can strike Mars Attacks from the record, Tim Burton is a genius. Deaddread, you're thinking of Sweeney Todd. But for me (and I haven't seen Sleepy Hollow) I really can't choose between Bride, Scissorhands and Charlie. Maybe Scissorhands for the snow. Maybe Charlie for the squirrels. And maybe the Corpse Bride for the lack of the happy ending and just how beautiful she was.
Either way, all credit for Tim Burton. Not many people turn me around after having offended me massively.
