NEW shemp!  As I ride in on my high horse, I believe you have misconstrued my "masses as asses" commentary.  If you reread the comment you will see that I am directing this missive as a belief Burton ("he") must think that the public, including his fans, are all morons.

We of dtheatre are not.  The public at large is.  As Sting so profoundly sings,"Men go crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one."  Burton doesn't seem to be responding.

NEW Shemp, you are at a serious disadvantage having not seen POTA so it is going to be difficult for you to be subjective.  Being an "outsider"  is the only thing you definately got right.  Check POTA out if you can without any predilections (if you can at this point) and tell me this is the Burton of yore.

It's not.  It looks like Burton and it smells like Burton, but it's become that exact same crap you claim Hollywood keeps shoveling out.  And that hurts us, his fans, bad.  Very bad.  Because now Burton has joined, for now, the ranks of those filmakers that make that exact "tripe" you are complaining about.

PS.  Register.  It's free and it  takes 30 seconds.  It will also keep you from getting your tail slapped everytime for being such a crummy speller.  (Well, it won't, but we might be less forgiving...)
