I told my Mai I would take her. I'm afraid there's going to be a slew loud and annoying of Hot Topic 14 year olds there and I'm going to have to control myself. Try and resit the urge to not yell at them or threaten them. Mai doesn't like it when I do that :lol:

Maybe if they did more original music in the trailers, unlike the same **** that was in Nightmare.
TNBC music is good. D: But I do agree, it needs more original music.

Sounded like Addams Family music to me...

I'll see this. I'm a big Johnny Depp fan as well as a fan of TNBC. I could go either way on Burton, but if it's an original from him then it's more or less going to be a good film.

I only hope they aren't going to introduce dubbed version in my country - that'd be horrible :dead:

I don't understand the sudden surge of interest in TNBC. I remember when I was about 8, my sister, cousin and I used to pretend we were Lock, Shock, and Barrel. We even made a walking bathtub out of a cardboard box. Then the movie just disappeared as far as I can ever remember. Why the big explosion all of a sudden?
Two words: Hot Topic.

I'll be seeing the Corpse Bride whenever I can, in a couple months or so. I don't think I could drag my hubs out to it for love or money though.

I'm looking forward to this too, it looks great! I agree with comments on using music from The Nightmare Before Christmas for the promo though, I love the music but am sick of hearing used to promote Burton's animated films.

I just heard some of the music from the movie and...eh its ok but not Spectacular. Then again my expectations were pretty low.

I know now that im going to be dragged to see the movie by my GF...even though she knows i hate Burton for what he tried to do to superman

09-14-2005, 08:09 AM

And that would be?

There was this huge controversy where Nick cage was set to play supes and Burton was going to direct. and Burton began changing the whole set-up of the story. Jon Peters and Burton formed a "Dream Team"

When superman returned from the dead, he couldn't fly and drove around in a car. HE CAUGHT BULLETS IN HIS TEETH and became a mixture of Crow/Batman with a pinch of superman.

Yeah, I remember reading that, man that wouldn't have been pretty.

As for the "Corps Bride", not really something I'm into, I liked TNBC when I was younger, It doesn't have the same effect on me now, so maybe I'll catch it when it's on STARZ in a year.

This movie sucked...hard...

The music was bad. The lyrics to that already bad music were even worse. The movie was too damn short. It had plot holes that I can't believe they got away with. And, to top it all off, it's going to revive the "goth kid" movement, and I hate the goths as much as I hate the "emo-****".

ZariusTwo

09-24-2005, 10:33 PM

I'm dead. "Chocolate Factory" had some better semblence of post-modernism to it, even if it can't top the original, this tried to be "NBC", and failed miserably, definatly one for the livejournal hot topic deadweights.

Peanut

09-25-2005, 08:02 PM

I saw it tonight. It wasn't all that great. It was no TNBC, that's for sure. All besides one song was pretty bad. I thought the plot was pretty weak too. For the most part, anyways. It was decent, I guess.

Not around here -_- It's popular and "cool" in Cali.

I wish the kids around here would grow up past the age of 15 so Hot Topic won't be "cool" anymore. I'm sick of seeing it and it's embarrassing just to walk in front of it. I'm also tired of people thinking I'm one of them. I make it a point not to buy my clothes in stores for a reason. I don't want to seem like I'm copying anyone and I don't want anyone copying me. So I buy all my clothes online and get all my shirts and sweaters at concerts. That way even if they want the stuff I have they can't get it because the concert was one night only. And the sites I get stuff from no one knows about but me.

It's awesome going to school and being the only one to have on what you do everyday. And knowing that not one other person even owns the same stuff. I've never once seen someone at my school with the same clothes that I wear. And I'd love to keep it that way.They already try to copy me by dyeing their hair red. I was the first one to do it*And everyone knows it* so I guess I atleast have that on them.

Hot Topic is the "in" thing here. I see little girls around the ages of 14 and 15 wearing Slipknot shirts and huge ass leather bondage pants. I mean, it's Florida. It's kind of hot to be goth here.

But yeah, I say we commit mass emo genocide. This ****'s gone on for way too long. Bring me the head of Chris Carrabba. After that, cut the throats and black the eyes of Hawthorne Heights. And then do something really violent yet creative with the Used.

Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't even that amazing of a movie. Why is there a god damn cult following behind it?

Its' the "greatest" in your eyes because Hot Topic sell it on thier shirts every week, its' only the "greatest" because the characters dress and speak enchanted Papa Roach, it is not Gone With The Wind, or Bridge On The River Kwai, Kramer vs Kramer, or Educating Rita, its' an hour and a half decent freaking Disney movie

Cerpin Taxt

09-25-2005, 10:26 PM

it is not Gone With The Wind, or Bridge Of The River Kwai, Kramer vs Kramer, or Educating Rita

All four of those movies are generally accepted as the best movies ever because everyone else has generally accepted them as the best movies ever. It follows the long trend of that, when someone says that something is awesome, someone else agrees, and it keeps repeating that way. However, I beg to differ. The AFI can suck it (not the punk/goth band, you silly goth kids).

It's like Stairway to Heaven. It's not even close to being the best song ever. It's just so hyped up that everyone likes it because everyone likes it.

While we're at it, (and everyone is going to open a gallon of haterade on me for this) the Godfather Trilogy and Scarface can piss off as well

If I shared that rationality, I'd have easily have called The Incredibles, and half of Pixars' bollocks, oscar worthy, when in fact I only like three of thier movies, so my opinion on those films being excellent stands

Bollocks? You must be from England. Not that anything is wrong with England. I like The Libertines, Blur, Radiohead, Danger Mouse, etc.

But yeah. They're highly overrated. The Oscars overlook great films each year and praise crappy ones. I mean, Gladiator won best picture. It wasn't even decent. Halle Berry won best actress for ****ing Billy Bob Thorton in a bad movie (which was a publicity stunt because the Academy wanted to be racially equal). Don't even mention the Oscars. The Oscars are just there to sell more DVDs.

And let's add 8 1/2 to the list. When I was sober, I didn't care for the movie. When I got really baked and watched it, I had a better understanding of it, but still didn't really care for it.

Yeah, those things are everywhere. I wonder why though. They seem to be a bit too fragile for me.

Anyhow. Movie... Now, I am a fan of Burton's way of making movies. Dark and twisted. TNBC was good, but not spectacular. And when I looked at the Corpse Bride, it didn't exactly say "You gotta see me". It was more like "Hoorah, done before and still good". So, if I go and see it, I need an excuse (not necessarily a good one, but an excuse) to do so.

Cerpin Taxt

09-25-2005, 10:58 PM

I hate product placements. When I saw "Red Eye", there were too many product placements for Starbucks. Which pisses me off since, well, I work at Starbucks, and they were saying everything by brand name. I went to the movies to get away from Lattes, Mochas and everything else for a while. WHY MUST THEY TORMENT ME!?

I never see any Ipod Product Placements (or none that I remember). I'm probobly too busy listening to my ipod.

You know what I've come to notice? I realize that the same influence and opinions and personalities of the "emo-kids" and "goth-types" mimic those that criticize and ridicule them. It seems to me that people are quick to comment on their way of thinking with their opinions, and feel completely dignified with those comments, as much as they are with theirs. If you think on both sides of the coin, you might see that.

Good movie. Not great. Did it have bad moments? Sure. Did it have plot holes? Of course.

My sentiments exactly. This movie had its good moments as well as its bad, just like every other movie. It was like TNBC in animation, style, and atmosphere, but it was deeper and a bit darker.

I was entertained, and to me, that's all that matters.
