I liked Dark Shadows -- the opening with Nights in White Satin is inspired... I had a moment there. I liked The Nightmare Before Christmas (which Burton wrote, but didn't' direct)... but after Edward... punch my mouth off, but I don't think Burton has captured the magic again. It's too bad, I'll keep coming back to Burton to see if he rides the wave again, but I haven't seen it yet.
I want to see Burton direct Willy Wonka and the Great Space Elevator.

I didn't like Dark Shadows because the ending felt so anticlimatic. Also the "humor" was lost on me, and I know vampires have to feed on blood to live but I actually felt bad for a lot of the victims that Depp's character killed because many of them were innocent and didn't deserve it. Like those construction workers building a new McDonalds who unearthed his coffin or those happy hippies who were just hanging out and being nice to him.
But I guess that's vampires for you.
