I have been ...Hey, it is good to hear from you man! I have been watching more of Tim Burto films (e.g. Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Sweeney Todd), there is a retrospective going on at the Lightbox and I get compt tickets as I work there (yeah!), and there is this real anger and social critic element to them, similar to the works of John Waters and George Romero. Reading the above mentioned books changed how I perceived his films as it becomes clear that the characters in his films are autobiographical in terms of feelings, mannerism and personality. While his animation background and drawings are a springboard for the mise-en-sence he would try transplant to his films, which is important to his creative process. That is why I think the show is important, though I also have a few complaints about it. Yeah, the name change, I did the transition really poorly, I kind-of just changed it, did not warn any readers, and my viewer count went from around 100 to 4. Yikes! Anyways, if you are ever in the city or if you need a place to crash, let me know.David D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14646599764019358808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552793787451945445.post-6507386194757195752010-12-04T14:35:22.449-06:002010-12-04T14:35:22.449-06:00Tim Burton is the only film maker you mentioned on...Tim Burton is the only film maker you mentioned on a previous post that I didn't think should be considered an important director like the Coens or Tarantino. I think the point where I realized this was seeing his exhibit at the MOMA. Maybe I would of enjoyed it more had I seen it at the Lightbox but I felt that the exhibit had no place in the MOMA and was disappointed with their curators. <br /><br />Only thing I really liked was seeing his first drawings. <br /><br />Futhermore, kinda bummed you changed the name of the blog haha.Y.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05947123961138735112noreply@blogger.com
