Tim Burton to ‘reimagine’ ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN.

I’ll allow it: “Tim Burton has found his next film project with a reimagining of the classic 1958 movie Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.” My wife points out that ‘reimagining’ usually means ‘everything except the title will be changed,’ but I dunno. Tim Burton’s MARS ATTACKS! was fun, although apparently the only people who thought so were me, and the cast. This could be fun, too, especially since the original was apparently more complex than I realized.

Guess we’ll see.

Tim Burton looking to make THE ADDAMS FAMILY series.

Tim.

Tim Burton is looking to make the move into TV is a live-action series adaption of The Addams Family. This would be Burton’s first big live-action TV series, and he is currently negotiating to direct all of the episodes and executive produce the show.

Why are you doing this, Tim? What is your victory condition here, Tim? How do you intend to bear up under the weight of previous television shows and movies here, Tim? – Bear in mind that I can readily believe that you have answers to these questions, Tim. I am merely concerned that you may have not asked these questions beforehand, and that would be sad.

Tim Burton’s Dumbo.

Did that get your attention? – Because it certainly got mine. As did the possible cast: Will Smith as… no, not the elephant; as the Good Dad; and Tom Hanks as the villain.  Which I must admit: I have no idea who that would be, because we didn’t watch Disney movies growing up and I’ve been hit or miss with filling in the gaps.  All I really know about Dumbo is that the elephant can eventually fly and that there are crows in it, including one with a supremely unfortunate name. I’m going to enjoy watching Disney finesse that one away, let me tell you.

Looking for some good spooky movies for my kids.

This is maybe the first year that both kids are really grooving on the subject of Halloween: the eldest wanted to make sure that he was in on decorating the lawn and the youngest actually expressed an opinion on his costume. So, of course, it’s time to get them properly indoctrinated and so forth. They are both below the age of ten, I’m looking more for spooky than scary, and of course I’m going to show them The Nightmare Before Christmas as soon as my wife and I decide that they can handle it.  The very question! What’s the point of Halloween if I can’t show them Tim Burton’s best movie ever? Continue reading Looking for some good spooky movies for my kids.

…And *another* trailer: “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.”

I. Am. So. THERE.

Tim Burton, of course. OF COURSE.  And, yes, I’m aware that this is what X-Men would look like if Tim Burton did it. Tell me that you wouldn’t watch a Tim Burton X-Men movie.  Tell me.
