Thread title sucks

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Boy am I relieved. I didn't want to see Johnny Depp in the next Batman movie.

 

[Amir0x]

I take it threads like these are now freely creatable?

The pope is dead
...on the inside with the latest rejection of pro-life legislation.
*article snip*

Killer whale eats a baby
...sized seal.
*youtube link*

Cure for cancer found
...to be really hard to make.
*blasphemous picture of cancer patient without any hair*

no, but you have to give it up occasionally for the really brilliant uses of the technique, particularly in regards to the timing and difficulty of execution

 

[Kreed]

Well that was disappointing. At least the responses to the OP are entertaining.

 

[JzeroT1437]

Am I the only one that finds Burton's style a mockery of itself at this point? It's almost self-satire.

 

[Shalashaska]

I've always loved this gif. Where the hell is it from?

*shrug*

I just grabbed it from somewhere else.

 

[jman2050]

Well done.

 

[Dan]

Burton sucks.

Burton + partially mo-capped + 3D = so much suckage

 

[PhoenixDark]

Depp is overrated anyways. And Burton stinks 95% of the time, so they can have eachother.

Didn't you like Speed Racer? I don't think I care for your opinion kthnx

 

[nitewulf]

now thats just naughty.

OMG BURTON AND DEPP?

I HEAR RUMOURS THAT HELENDA BONHAM CARTER MAY BE INVOLVED!!!

aaaaaahahahahahahaha...

anyway, this should be fucking awesome.

Indeed I did PD. You think Forrest Gump is the greatest film ever made, so you not caring for my opinions means Im doing something right.

21 Jumpstreet? I guess.

[rollingstart]

Reading Tim Burton made my heart skip a beat. That would be the worst thing ever.

 

[Rorschach]

If Scullibundo got banned for that AVATAR thread, I think this also deserves a ban.

His thread was funny, though. Everyone laughed. This one is trying way too hard. I think the other ban was just due to duckroll wanting to use his "clever" title edit.

From the GAF thread about 21 Jump Street.

And I just read my tarot deck and get the feeling that someone may be wearing black and white stripes at some point.

Do I really look like a guy with a plan? I just DO things.

Actually my favorite film is To Kill a Mockingbird, and Forrest Gump isn't in my top ten. I may love Forrest Gump, but at least I don't love Speed Racer!

Burton is one of my favorite directors. I thought his Chocolate Factory remake was horrible, and Corpse Bride was a colossal disappointment but I loved Sweeny Todd

 

[Cornballer]

You son of a bitch!

 

[Solo]

Give us your thesis on Unforgiven, PD. NeoGAF is ready!

 

[Lord Helmet]

Deliciously evil! :lol

Nice

To Kill a Mockingbird = <3

What did you think of Ed Wood? Personally, that's my favorite Burton and Depp film.

 

[jenov4]

FUCK YOU OP

THIS!

 

[Greatness Gone]

This is interesting. The Mad Hatter was absolutely ridiculous, so Depp will be interesting in this role.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Okay, that's great and all, but where the fuck is news on the Dark Shadows movie?

 

[Prince of Space]

:lol :lol @ people actually falling for the thread title. TDK's still fresh on everyone's mind; do you REALLY think the next movie would be far enough in development as to announce casting? Come on, GAF.

 

[CajoleJuice]

That's what I was trying to imply! I also did state it outright a few posts back.

 

[Flow]

That was a good one.

 

[AmishNazi]

I'm tired of the Burton + Depp team up. Alone and separate I like them just together they're getting old. Burton asks for the same things from Johnny and Johnny gives almost the same character each time.

 

[Socreges]

oh come on, your fucking self. do you REALLY think the instant people see that thread title and click on the thread they necessarily rebuke what they've read? after some processing, sure, but i for a moment though it might be true - especially since the thread was 2 pages long and not even closed.

Then those people aren't following this forum's guidelines of reading the original post before posting.

Reason it isn't closed is because there is actual discussion here once the dust settles. The stars were aligned and in Dark Knight fever it would have been foolish not to.

This is why I'm excited for him in this role. This character is crazy and unintelligible. Psychotic, even. This might break away from the samey-ness of Depp/Burton team ups.

?? what? i know why it isn't closed, and don't think it should be. mildly clever, some people appreciated it. my point is that the fact that it reached 2 pages lent the title credibility that it wouldn't otherwise deserve.

Well, you arent that alone. I've gotten a bit tired of his "one trick pony" directorial style. Its all starting to look the same at this point.

[Mike Works]

hilarious thread title :lol

 

[Ether_Snake]

Why must Johny Depp pretty much always play the same snobbish over-acting characters now? And he always makes the same fucking wide-open eyes "Surprised" expression.

 

[Sanjuro]

Well, you arent that alone. I've gotten a bit tired of his "one trick pony" directorial style. Its all starting to look the same at this point.

I would disagree. They certainly have a distinct feel to them, but you cannot say his films of late look the same. In his older pieces pre-Ed Wood I would agree a bit. Planet of the Apes / Sweeney Todd/ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / Big Fish? I can't say any of those look the same at all.

Now you're just being a dick.

Not at all. Just responding to an upset internet man. To come in here and actually be angry due to not reading the OP is the equivalent of stopping at every cell phone store on your way home from work advertising "FREE PHONES" and becoming visibly upset each time.

 

[Greatness Gone]

The only time Burton has been in the wrong with directing was with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Depp was a smug bitch, not Willy Wonka. In fact, everybody was a smug bitch, even Charlie.

And the Oompa Loompas? :lol

 

[RevenantKioku]

I dunno, after reading the actual book, I liked Burton's movie more than the older one. But then again I have no taste.

 

[neptunes]

burton and depp?

who would have guessed?

 

[Socreges]

thisisneogafdude.gif

yeah i dont know why i responded so seriously. been a rough day, i guess. still, your post is pretty dickish

Same washed out 3-strip color blue filter cinematography, same Elfman scoring, more actors from his "stable" of actors. The stories may be different but they're all directed basically the same. There is nothing wrong with the "Burton" style. I'm just tired of it. Seeing his name attached to a project isn't going to make me dismiss it but its not going to be a motivating factor either.

 

[Masked Man]

I've always loved Alice in Wonderland. Didn't know Burton was going to helm a new version, so I guess I'll have to see it.

And, while I did enjoy the clever title, does this thread really need to exist? After all, wouldn't it be more newsworthy if Burton were filming a movie without Depp? ;P

 

[Zeliard]

I'm tired of the Burton + Depp team up. Alone and separate I like them just together they're getting old. Burton asks for the same things from Johnny and Johnny gives almost the same character each time.

The Mad Hatter is completely batshit insane. There's no way that it will be similar to the other characters.

Can't wait to see Depp in this role.

This is why I'm excited for him in this role. This character is crazy and unintelligible. Psychotic, even. This might break away from the samey-ness of Depp/Burton team ups.

Exactly.
