I agree.

I feel like I was just slightly too young to experience that era firsthand. So Tim Burton always had this aura and legend around him where everyone thought he was brilliant, and he was a geek messiah, and Nightmare Before Christmas was a holiday classic, but I couldn't really see for myself why everyone thought those things. So it was always just sorta weird.

He didn't direct Nightmare Before Christmas.

DA

He wrote it though. Are you being contrary on purpose?

I think the last Tim Burton movie I saw was Sleepy Hollow, which I've seen numerous times, actually. But nothing after that piqued my interest.

I can't stand A Nightmare Before Christmas and don't understand why it's his classic.

Beetlejuice is fantastic, but I think my favorite will always be Edward Scissorhands because he just mercilessly skewers Baby Boomer conformity culture in that one.

If I were to springboard off this with my own secret, it would be that I loved Johnny Depp in every Burton role through Sleepy Hollow. I don't get the criticism that he plays the same characters in every role. All of his weirdos have a subtly different approach IMO.

I don't know.

There were some actors that surprised me in some roles, yes, and I liked a bunch of his early movies, but it seemed like after the first few feature length movies, he had to have someone in the cast from an earlier one. I mean, it's not just Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter or both, but Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, Dumbo) or Paul Reubens (Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Batman Returns, Nightmare Before Christmas) or Jack Nicholson (Batman, Mars Attacks!) or Sarah Jessica Parker (Ed Wood, Mars Attacks!).

Danny DeVito.

I miss Michael McDowell. AIDS took too many brilliant people way too soon.

Oh, I didn't know that's how he died. That's really sad. His mystery novels were great fun, and he was a terrific storyteller.

Honestly, I agree so much. I'm not exactly sure when things went sideways- if it was everyones jump to make his ideals CGI perfect, or if everyone just went to far because they thought they should... Either way, I adore his old movies, and I really wish his newer ones hadn't lost that appeal.
