It pains me to say this, but Burton needs to be stopped. Rather, needs to have been stopped. I'll give him Sleepy Hollow, while not brilliant at least it was enjoyable. And I see that he did a short based on Stainboy, one of the characters from his uber-cool, Shell Silverstein meets Poe poetry collection The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. Gotta get my hands on that and check it out.
But Planet of the Apes? Big Fish? Charlie and the Pointless Backstory? Even Corpse Bride which, while beautiful, was, like Big Fish, disappointingly one-dimensional in the story and character departments.
Yeah, definitely wish he'd have hung up the hat in the new millenium.
