Im telling you watch from hell and sleepy hollow back to back, if you compare the creepiness factor between the two burtons style just seems so childish, at least to me anyways. i just got tired of all the buildings with impossible proportions and all the goofy "pumpkin king" style scarecrows.
and fuck man i love elfman as much as the next rabid horror fan but if i have to hear the london boys choir one more fucking time im going to lose it. seriously im not seeing anything new from either both elfman or burton, and seeing that i do feel that both of these men are quite gifted, that kinda bothers me.

I find it impossible to argue with you. Not because i 100% agree, but i do for the most part, and you listed Ridley Scott as one of the greatest all time directors, so to me, you are a saint. He has done plenty that i wouldnt watch, but what would the world be without alien? Or even blackhawk down?
