I ADORE Burton... BEFORE the year 2000. Y2K just messed him up. He no longer creates his own material. I think he's fallen victim to his money and notoriety as the "creepy remake guy". And it's really very sad. All his movies before 2000 were fantastic. Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands are two of my favorite movies of all time. PeeWee's Big Adventure is hilarious and brilliant, as is Beetlejuice. Lately, though, I've been immensely disappointed in him, and maybe even a bit annoyed. It hurts me to say this, but it's what I think.
