I have always been said they never worked together more.<br /><br />And I'm probably alone here, but I am so. fucking. tired. of Johnny Depp. Tim Burton really needs to stop it, I don't even want to see his movies anymore because of it. (Helena Bonham Carter is a bit better, but still not really all that captivating - he only uses her because they're together, like the boring Lisa Marie). How much do you wanna bet Depp's Mad Hatter will be suspiciously similar to Willy Wonka? Ugh. So over it.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924416825035276697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-10520334028895921842009-06-24T08:00:41.596-04:002009-06-24T08:00:41.596-04:00Tiffini -- you're so right.

It's heavily flawed a lot of the time, but really I'll forgive him anything (except Planet of the Apes)...<br /><br />Also, I believe you could technically bump Christopher Lee up to 5 collaborations.

I find them both really one-note, and I'm getting sick of them being guaranteed a role in every new Tim Burton film. Sweeney Todd was probably the clinching factor in this opinion.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton anyway.

His only film that doesn't feel (for me, at least) formulaic and lifeless is "Corpse Bride".<br /><br />re: his regular actors, I agree Christina Ricci and Winona Ryder should get more roles, and that Sarah Jessica Parker was perfect in both her roles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-20360565513399198942009-06-22T19:15:35.901-04:002009-06-22T19:15:35.901-04:00Do we know how big Bonham Carter and Hathaway'...Do we know how big Bonham Carter and Hathaway's roles will be in this?DJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88405492591388844862009-06-22T19:13:39.329-04:002009-06-22T19:13:39.329-04:00To me, Johnny Depp looks strangely like Madonna in...To me, Johnny Depp looks strangely like Madonna in that picture!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-23122346485640028462009-06-22T18:24:15.216-04:002009-06-22T18:24:15.216-04:00These pix from Alice in Weirdland, I mean Wonderla...These pix from Alice in Weirdland, I mean Wonderland, make me more hungry than Charlie's chocolate factory!Jim Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18363395550258178842009-06-22T17:41:40.563-04:002009-06-22T17:41:40.563-04:00Nathaniel - Jeffrey Jones was in Sleepy Hollow as ...Nathaniel - Jeffrey Jones was in Sleepy Hollow as well so that makes 3 collaborations between him and Burton. "Their heads were not found at all."<br /><br />I'm going to reiterate what Seeking Amy and Fenix already said by hoping that Burton works with El Ricci again. That may just be my own Riccimania though. Miranda Richardson would be great to see again in one of his too. Although I wouldn't mind seeing him inject some fresh blood.

Either way, I feel there's something missing. I do realize, though, that this is one of those completely subjective things that have not rational/objective grounds.<br /><br />That said, I'd love to see more of Parker in more challenging movies, because I guess that getting her in that TV version of Women on the Verge would be too obvious. :)Iggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-78987366620716732022009-06-22T16:42:51.199-04:002009-06-22T16:42:51.199-04:00Speaking of great colloborations, Buffy lovers wil...Speaking of great colloborations, Buffy lovers will enjoy this.
