Well, I love Nightmare but I think it's almost like comparing apples and oranges. This has a dark edge to it, but it's really more of a lighthearted fairytale--a love story and almost slapstick comedy at times.
I will say the music in this one was still entertaining but not nearly as catchy as the Nightmare refrains. And it's not really long enough to get attached to the characters as much as you do Jack & Sally--but there are some memorable minor characters in Corpse Bride that I hope Burton returns to someday!
it's funny you should say that--good point... My friend actually had to leave her DVD with me and I think I had it for a couple of months before i finally broke down and watched it. And I still had no idea what I was getting into, I just wanted to return it!
hey, thanks very much. i just picked up another--a coffee table book with photos from the family's private collection--by george perry. (also there's a big festival in dean's hometown this weekend that i considered attending but decided not to drive the 11 hours...)
Well, as with any subculture, I think people just find themselves drawn in and settle into a particular facet... but if you really want a site that speaks in generalities, this one is decent.
You are so onto me! I *JUST* caught Eternal Sunshine and A Very Long Engagement , and I'm afraid both are going to bump their way onto this list. Am I that predictable?! jk
Hey, I just finished Rule of Four and am wondering what you thought of it... and also how you thought it compared to Brown's Da Vinci Code--haven't read that yet. Thanks!
well i too think that's a funny part, but i happen to love the band they're listening to: belle & sebastian. however, i laughed because *no one else i know* likes them!
see the very first comment on this list for my shawshank response... for reservoir dogs, well, im just not into watching people be tortured--call me crazy. ;)
i've loved lili since i saw her in "i shot andy warhol," and of course she was fabulous in "say anything," mrs. parker," and "pecker." but she's also hit the big time with me for being in my fave show, "six feet under." can the girl do any wrong?

I'm pretty sure #14 is Keane, "Somewhere Only We Know"

Okay, I'm not sure how many people have even seen this movie, but my money is on Permanent Record.
Thanks for your encouragement, boys... I have been a tad lazy lately--just putting them up there for memory's sake. But I promise I'll get back to em.
Yup.

Wow that was an excellent link! Thanks ever so much for that amusement...
Favorite Bowie album... I think it always comes back to Hunky Dory for me. How bout you?
