I guess my question is this: When will Tim Burton stop re-making movies that were good to begin with, only he has decided that they ought to be scarier and weirder and appeal more to the 17-year-old Hot Topic set than they previously did? And perhaps more importantly, when will Johnny Depp stop accepting Tim Burton’s demands that he play the crazier-than-you-ever-imagined leads in these unnecessary remakes?
Here are more suggestions of stories Tim Burton could creepify in the next ten years: “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” “The Phantom Toll Booth,” “The Twitches,” “Sideways Stories from Wayside School,” “The Velveteen Rabbit.”
