I'm selling out, but not as badly as Tim Burton

When I say
Tim Burton.
What comes to your mind? I think of a dishevelled has-been who's in desperate need of a new hairstyle and a retirement plan.
Scribbles of emo stick figures in love should be reserved for people under 14. Or rather, they should be reserved for Myspace layouts of "sC3n3 quEEns xx *".
Do you know what I mean, folks? Is anyone else simply sick to death of this guy's unoriginal films?
Nightmare Before Christmas was fine. It was fine until it was whored out by Claire's and Hot Topic and every other fucking store on the planet.
Every other movie can be described in one sentence: Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp and any other greasy, slimy, creepy, 'alternative' people he could round up and give a goth makeover.

There's a difference between having a distinct style and beating an idea 'till it's fucking dead. Look at director Wes Anderson. He, along with tons of other directors, have a certain style and quirks that set them apart from others. However, it doesn't have much to do with the plot or idea. Who wants to make a variation of the SAME movie five hundred times?
You guessed it.
Tim Burton.
I especially take offense to his remakes (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland) because they were once well-written books and equally well-done movies that needed no remastering or new special effects. I'm sad to say I wasted $10 on Alice in Wonderland, because I'm a huge fan of the book and the original Disney cartoon. To this day, that is my biggest regret, contributing to the huge, douchey sell out of a person that is Tim Burton.
In fact, I can tell by the small groups forming on Facebook (to which I belong) many people agree with me. In one group, a person stated: "Screw Tim Burton and that whole emo, mallgoth, "I think halloween and christmas should be made into one holiday," I'm dark and brooding because I shop at hot topic crap."

Basically, it's safe to say, Burton, that there are better ways to deal with your immense man crush on Johnny Depp.

By the way, I'm going to finish this post by whoring myself to you by proposing you visit my other website/social networking schuff.
I will be offended if you don't click on the following links:
