corpse bridezilla

so i've loved tim burton and his movies for as long as i can remember. he has always been my favourite director, from the first time i ever layed eyes on beetlejuice.

for decades he's been dazzling audiences with his dark flicks who always have a comic twist! he's a director who enjoys the macabre and is delighted to delve deep into the supernatural with his gothic images and halloween twists. "corpse bride" marks burton's second release this year (the first being ofcourse the trippy "charlie and the chocolate factory") and his second stop-motion full-length animated feature film, the first being "the nightmare before christmas".

i think one of the main things i enjoy so much about his work is first and foremost his imagination; why just look at some of his ideas! edward scissorhands (un-fuckin' believable movie...hands down one of my most favourite!) to beetlejuice (beyond creative) to the tear-filled "big fish" (cried my eyes out) to "peewee's big adventure" to "sleepy hollow" to "ed wood".

his movies are known for their ability to create highly imaginative worlds that surround the characters in his stories, each one unique!

he has a vision that knows no bounds, and it almost seems like there's nothing he can't create. tim burton has never done something simply to impress critics, his work is for himself and no one else! we're just the ones who love it!!



the other thing i enjoy about this talented man, is the fact that he's not afraid to be morbidly weird. why just look at what he did with the "batman" story. while i totally fell in love with the newer batman flick, what tim did with the first two i thought was amazing. they will always be the best of the dark knight legacy.

so "corpse bride" begins this weekend, and i know i'm not alone when i say just how excited i am! carrying on in the dark romantic tradition of other classic tim burton films like edward scissorhands and the nightmare before christmas, it tells the tale of of victor, a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious corpse bride, while his real bride waits in the land of the living. while his time spent in the underworld proves to be more than exciting, he learns that there's nothing in this world or the next that can supposedly keep him from the woman he loves.

it's being advertised at a tale of optimism, romance, and the afterlife in classic tim burton style! starring the voices of johnny depp (a burton fave) and helena bonham carter, it's sure to be a winner!

check it out, yo!
