Tim Burton turned 51 today. He is a film director and producer, a writer, an artist, and I must say, quite a brilliant and highly imaginative fellow. Some of my favorite films of his are Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, and Corpse Bride, his short films Vincent and Frankenweenie, and his series about the character Stain Boy. He is responsible for pretty much turning my life around and being the reason that I want to become a film director today. I love his movies because they are strange and funny in a dark sort of way, and I can always relate and connect emotionally to them. He also brought the strange to the mainstream in his filmmaking, as his films are very popular and have many devoted fans such as myself. The things that I particularly admire about him as a director are his attention to detail and quality, and his personal attachment to the movies he makes. He always makes movies that mean something to him, and he approaches them as art, not just a way to make money. (Though he makes plenty of that.) He is a role model and idol to me. I owe him a lot. Thank you, Tim. And Happy Birthday.

If you liked those movies, I'm sure you will enjoy his other ones. Always nice to meet a fellow Tim Burton fan!

I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan! Tim Burton's movie of Alice In Wonderland is coming out in March and it stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. It looks really good! I also love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but some people don't appreciate it.

I know! I didn't know what that was all about.

 

  Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Alice in Wonderland...I think the Mad Hatter fits Johnny don't you think?

 

Johnny Depp is my favourite actor of all time EVER! If they don't give him an Oscar soon, I'm gonna complain! He is an AMAZING actor.

 

So far my favourite Tim Burton movie is Corpse Bride...which Johnny Depp is the voice of Victor, which makes it the best! lol....and you'll notice I said so far....he'll come out with better ones.

Re: Happy Birthday Tim Burton!
Yeah, I think the Mad Hatter is perfect for Johnny, and he always makes his characters completely original, so it's exciting to see what he will do next. He REALLY deserves an Oscar, but he hasn't gotten an Oscar yet because he picks such strange and non-mainstream movies to be in. He's been nominated for 3 Oscars so far, most recently for Sweeney Todd... which in my opinion he should have won.

I saw Corpse Bride two days ago! I love that movie. Tim and Johnny's other three movies together (besides the ones you mentioned) are Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd. I like them all, but the latter two are a bit bloody, if you don't like that type of thing.

Oh dude! He totally should have received that Oscar for it! That royally ticked me off!

 

He certainly does and I like that about Johnny. He's different and strives to be that way. I like people who are different than everybody else which is another reason why I LOVE Tim Burton's movies.

I also love people who are different. It's especially nice to see people from the movie industry that are different, since a lot of movies nowadays are all the same.

Re: Happy Birthday Tim Burton!
Yeah I know. And they all have one thing in common: Let's come up with the dumbest plot out there and call it a comedy.

 

I love originality which is why Johnny Depp's my favourite actor, Tim Burton one of my favourite directors and Michael Jackson is my favourite singer.  They are all different and unique which is cool.
