maybe for a few years, yes. or at least a restraining order from Depp.

He was miscast in the last two Burtons but he seems fine for the Mad Hatter (if obvious).

What did he do?

We liked Sweeney Todd.

If we ban Tim Burton, how will Helena Bonham Carter get work?

Maybe by having a part in a tiny, nearly invisible movie franchise called Harry Potter?

I know, I wreck everything.

Anyway it's probably easier to just not see his movies than to prevent him making them. His stuff is taking on a dreadful sort of sameness, though.

I really enjoyed his take on the Chocolate Factory, although I don't have the same connection to the original (or Wilder's Wonka) that most people seem to do. Depp was a bit overly creepy, though.

I didn't mind the new Chocolate Factory either. Although I've been waiting for decades for someone to make the sequel so I can see some Vermicious Knids.

That may be, but only because we're comparing his work to his work. I think he will be remembered as a truly creative artist in film.

Fair cop.

I'm probably best ignored anyway; my favorite Burton movie is Pee Wee's Big Adventure. So it's all been downhill for the last twenty-five years!

I've got no real beef with Burton, but I'm pretty ambivalent to this whole Alice in Wonderland thing.

Maybe she'd get more work, not less, eh? EH? Fight Club plus marrying Burton pretty much sealed the typecasting deal.

This is why you're not allowed to Saturday morning spoonfest anymore.

And I've got no problem with Burton making films, even though none of them have interested me since Big Fish.

He needs to team up with better writers. His last few projects have been soulless.

Sweeney Todd's writing is strong IMO. Alice was awful.

Yes, Alice was quite horrible. I hated it. I mean, it's Alice and Wonderland. It's supposed to be like a crazy, non-nonsensical drug trip, not a Lord of the Rings-style, self-serious war epic, which is exactly what it turned into by the end. When you have the Mad Hatter fighting people on a battlefield with a broadsword, you know you've gone terribly wrong.
