I knows this is off topic but any of you like bats?
Oh! Oh! OH!!!!!Also off-topic, but since it was brought up earlier in here...
Just read that Disney has bought the rights to another Neil Gaiman literary work titled The Graveyard Book and will develop into a stop-motion animated film directed by Henry Selick of Nightmare/Coraline fame.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disney do NOT interfere with this awesome story! Let Selick do it all himself!Oh! Oh! OH!!!!!
*swoon*
I collect Gaiman first editions. Loved the quiet weirdness of that one and have been impatiently awaiting a sequel, as the book's ending obviously implies. Selick on that one?? Woo HOOO!
Burton: loved the eye candy in "Sleepy Hollow", loved the outright insanity of "Batman." "Nightmare Before Xmas", while wonderful, was a bit of a letdown for me, especially when I learned that some of the visuals (such as leaves coming out of the patchwork girl's torn arm) were waaayy toned down to please Disney. It could have been (and ought to have been) much, much, MUCH darker. But yeah...love Burton...especially anything Burton/Depp/Elfman! I can't imagine a proper Burton film without Elfman's music. Catchy yet ethereal. Great stuff.
THANKYOU for the heads up, Ed!

The first two movies that were his doing had a style to them, and we probably wouldn't have had everyone's favorite Batman adaption, Batman TAS, if it wasn't for those films.I like Tim Burton mainly when he has original ideas. When he remakes other people's work I'm often disappointed. The only exception being his Batman films. I'll take them over Dark Knight any day, hehe.
