hype? we've both seen the proof in the poodin'. beetlejuice is no fluff. that's a solid story and fantastically delivered. besides all that, though, i feel the pt anderson love. but, i'd love to see burton's version more. maybe if he'd adapted american mcgee's 'alice in wonderland'. then, of course, there's marilynn manson's proposed directorial debut regarding lewis carroll's life...

but, give me a break, tim burton is a rock star. you'd love to be involved with the maestro...

well, to be fair, his version is more of a melding of the two stories. alice is returned to wonderland, after her initial visit, to save the place from the red queen. that's why she's older. and, while i understand the style over substance argument, he's made too many masterpieces to be maligned: frankenweenie, beetlejuice, scissorhands, batman (i'll argue till the day i die that it's the greatest comic book movie ever made, given the time and place it was made in and it's influence on every other comic film made after), ed wood (brilliant. seen it like thirty times.), nightmare before christmas, sleepy hollow (gets better with each viewing), the list goes on. he's misfired, for sure, but give credit where it's due. who else even approaches his style? i'd rather watch his worst film than some filmmakers best films. and, c'mon, who better to bring 'alice in wonderland' to the screen? i'm excited...
