Yes, Tim Burton is undoubtedly a great producer. You know what though, he's an even better DIRECTOR. So long as he's not doing a big budget studio movie. Like Batman. Batman Returns. Mars Attacks. Planet of the Apes. Then he tends to suck. I much prefer his smaller, more personal feeling films. Ed Wood. Edward Scissorhands. Nightmare before Christmas. Big Fish.
He hasn't got what it takes to make a big flash movie. Well, a good one anyway.
A friend of mine relayed this to me: He once met Mr. Burton in person and asked "What happened with Batman?" Tim complained back "It was the suits". Hey, Tim
you were there, right, when the movie was being made? You cashed the checks? You WERE the fucking director, yeah? Take some responsibility, and stop doing big budget shit. It's not for you, mate.
I don't know why people defend the first "Batman". It's total shit. Doesn't hold up at all on any level.
And stop calling Tim Burton DARK, for fuck sakes. Bukowski is dark.
Burton is whimsical.
but what can you expect from this country of pussy-ass, mall-walking, fear of everything-having fucks.
Dark. Don't make me fucking laugh.
