Tim Burton to Receive the Golden Lion

in Venice. Lifetime Achievment, story here.

I like some of his work, but I have problems with most of the films as they seem to lose steam part way through. That said, Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood remain perennial favorites with me, as well as the feature that began it all, Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

So, go Tim. Sigh, Venice.....

Eh, Venice ain't all that nice. It's wet and kinda smells funky.

I've expounded at length in the past at my disappointment in Burton basically since the beginning of the 21st century. But when he was good, he was really good.

Of course, 48 seems a bit early to be bestowing a lifetime achievement award on anyone. Unless they too recognize that his best years are indeed behind him.

Actually, I am more interested in visiting the Veneto, but Venice will be nice to see (most beautiful opera house).

I think I like Venice more than I like Tim Burton, though I admittedly haven't smelled his funk.
