I'm a huge fan of this movie and I'd say it's not really funny at all. Or at least Jack Nicholson is not funny at all. This scene donesn't feel very Tim Burton. It feels like they were trying to keep as much footage of Jack in the movie as possible and that's not how you make a funny/good movie. This might be the only movie where he's one of the worst things about it.

Here was a funny exchange from Wil's autograph lineup from that Sunday.

Female Fan (to Wil): Hi, sorry, I know you are famous, but I don't know who you are. (Holds out her hand.)
Wil: (stares at her for a few seconds)... Hi, I am LaVar Burton.
LaVar (nearby to Wil): What?!
Wil: Yeah, I did Reading Rainbow for kids back in the 80s and 90s.

Fricken' hilarious.

This doesn't look like it even honors the original. I'm just down on Burton. He used to make great movies. It bums me out to see him follow the career path of Sting and George Lucas. >> ^Boise_Lib:

This looks awful.

My view is probably distorted by my love of the original soap-opera.
We used to never miss an episode (or the herbal enhancements we chose) after school.

Loved Levar Burton's follow-up comment.



And Wil Wheaton's brutal selfless honesty.

TB really... REALLY likes Johnny Depp doesn't he?
Man. I long for the days of Beetlejuice!


Michael Keaton as Willy Wonka? Couldn't have been any worse than Depp.

Looks like another crappy remake by Tim Burton. Ruined Planet of the Apes. Ruined Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ruined Alice in Wonderland. Next…

I really don't think he ruined Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was very close to the characters and storyline of the book, the first one was more an adaptation


Yeah, I enjoyed the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. They're both enjoyable

Exactly what I was thinking until 0:38, then it started looking fun >> ^kir_mokum:
this looks atrocious. burton is a one trick pony and a hack.


did you have a stroke at 0:38?

Yeah, I agree.. I can't tell if this is good or not. I also can't figure out how this ties in with the old soap opera. ...having just typed that, I remember now the show came back to TV more recently for a brief run. Was that any good? Was it a comedy...?

Last Tim Burton movie that I enjoyed was Sleepy Hollow. Though I never saw Big Fish (looked neat).

Last original film Tim Burton directed? Seriously, what was it? Beetlejuice?

This one does look awful, but it looks trailer awful. You know, when they have a trailer that looks like every other rubbish trailer and doesn't really represent the film?
