And yes, I know they're married. It still annoys me cuz when I hear Tim Burton I know her name will follow shortly.

...they are? Well that figures.

I can't believe I didn't know that until now, though :doh:

Ahem. "Family" reunions featuring Christina Ricci and Wionna Rider. Michael Keaton will be there as well but no-one will acknowledge him.

Ah, Lisa Marie. They were never married though (although, technically neither are Tim and Helena)

And yeah, I don't think Lisa Marie has done poo poo since Tim broke up with her. Edit: Her first movie since Planet of the Apes will be Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem. Went from Kid Friend Fake Goth to R-Rate Fake Goth.

She was the martian woman escort in Mars Attack! If that movie was to be done now HBC would be her role.

One can hardly ignore the Taoist implications of "Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

One of the better jokes in Life's Too Short (the new Ricky Gervais show) came when Gervais and Johnny Depp were arguing.

Depp: "I'm in the new movie by Tim Burton. And guess who my leading lady is?"
Gervais: "Helena Bonham Carter?"
Depp: [shocked pause] "How did you know? Who told you?"
Gervais: "Um...shot in the dark."

Maybe Burton actually has no interest in working with Depp and Carter but they always annoy him into it like children.

Carter/Depp: Tim, make another weird dark movie and cast us in it!
Burton: I'm actually interested in this light-hearted Will Ferell piece and thi-
Carter/Depp: TTTTTIIIIIIMMMMMM!!!!!!
Burtin: Uhh. Fine.

This allows Depp and Carter to carry on their torrid extramarital affair discreetly. I mean, they must spend A LOT of time together while Tim is doing director stuff.

So Johnny Depp is kinda dense I guess? You'd think he'd notice after a while that every time he's doing a movie with Tim he ends up talking to Helena for a few months.

The character posters are even worse. What really bugs me is that the characters in the actual film, besides Depp of course, don't really look like typical Burton characters. The posters make them look that way, and it's loving cheap and lovely.

The colors are also horrendous.

kiimo, sorry if that was your work. If it wasn't, please inform someone at WB that they done hosed up. (I get the feeling Warner Brothers doesn't give a poo poo about this film either way though)

It was not, it was done by another team.

However this film is based on a long-running British soap opera that Depp is a huge fan of.

I haven't seen it but I hear it is pretty good and has a distinct campy tone and that is what they're trying to get across.

I've seen it and I'm into the movie when I watch the trailer. I think it's giving me Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks! vibes, which is a good thing. However, those posters are pretty awful and clearly a product of the Alice/Chocolate Factory era Burton.

I don't know what this means. There are hundreds and hundreds of different comps and many many directions that they go, then meeting after meeting happens and the production team along with the executives choose which direction they want to go and then they cut and paste and spice and dice.

If there is any connection to those films it is probably due to the taste of the filmmakers, not any kind of direct correlation to past films. I also should remind everyone that these are designed to be one-sheet size and there is a big difference when you view it that way as opposed to your screen.

I'm not really defending it because I don't really like this very much, I'm just saying what happens.

I don't believe Dark Shadows was British.

Anyway, that the marketing only kicked off less than two months before release tells me something went very, very wrong, though I have no idea if it's the film itself.

kiimo
Jul 24, 2003

Yeah I just went over and asked, someone said it was British and they are wrong and just made me wrong. So gently caress you, coworker.

quote:

Dark Shadows is an American-produced gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966 to April 2, 1971. The show was created by Dan Curtis. The story bible, which was written by Art Wallace, does not mention any supernatural elements. It was unprecedented in daytime television when ghosts were introduced about six months after it began.

The series became hugely popular when vampire Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) appeared a year into its run. Dark Shadows also featured werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small company of actors each played many roles (as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor). Major writers besides Art Wallace included Malcolm Marmorstein, Sam Hall, Gordon Russell, and Violet Welles.

Dark Shadows was distinguished by its vividly melodramatic performances, atmospheric interiors, memorable storylines, numerous dramatic plot twists, an unusually adventurous music score, and a broad and epic cosmos of characters and heroic adventures. Now regarded as something of a camp classic, it continues to enjoy an intense cult following. Although the original series ran for only five years, its scheduling as a daily daytime drama allowed it to amass more single episodes during its run (1,225) than most other science-fiction/fantasy genre series produced for English-language television, including Doctor Who and the entire Star Trek television franchise. Only the paranormal soap opera Passions, with a total of 2,231 episodes, has more.

I doubt Tim Burton cares enough about the movie posters to make sure they perfectly represent his movie.

That's what I mean though. They look like the recent taste of the filmmaker and it makes sense to make them look like that--Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland both made a lot of money. Unfortunately they both suck, and so do those posters. They have the bright hair/pale face thing going on that Depp had in Alice, but for all of the characters. Unless they're going for some '70s pop-art vibe, but even then it comes off as pretty garish.

Even if he didn't, they're created with the knowledge that Burton has an image and an audience that they want to sell this film to. In my opinion, the posters look like they're very much in the vein of current-Burton, which to me is a bad thing. The trailer gives me early-Burton vibes, which is why I like it.
