Tim Burton's latest movie looks amazing!

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Legend Daniel Day Lewis, Legend Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judy Dench, Goldie Hawn's daughter, Fergie  :lol:, and Miss Sophia Loren.

I hate musicals, but Legend Day Lewis and Legend Kidman will get me front seat, opening night for this one.
Sweet fucking Jesus.  Lewis, Kidman and Dench?  That's a frontal assault on the Academy.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You do know he is not the director of that film right?  He is just the producer so it really is not a Tim Burton movie.

Legend Nicole Kidman

The only thing legendary about Nicole Kidman is how any picture she is associated with is a sure thing failure at the box office.  A botox injected, wooden, stunned actress who is guaranteed poison for a film's success.

Well she is just doing voice acting here so her botox effect will be minimized.

It wouldn't be the first time Tim Burton is credited with a movie he just produced, just like "Nightmare before Christmas".

Habs, have you seen Séraphine?  Yolande Moreau should be a early contender for the best actress HABSY.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
