If you guys want to see Johnny and Tim at their indie best, it was "Ed Wood" one of my FAVE movies EVER! It was made in 1995 (?) awesome and hilarious movie. Lots of scenes are shot in downtown LA and Hollywood. I've been where they've been. *sigh* I've been thinking of doing a cosplay of Johnny as Ed Wood, as himself in drag, but since I am a girl, I would be dressed up as a guy, dressed up as a girl, but with a goatee. My lil bro said no one would get it, except for me. I think he's right.  It would be so funny if more people would get it. |
I had a hard time with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because I love Gene Wilder so much in the original. Also, it is my least favorite example of Burton's work (his film, right?). I liked the addition of the scenes with Wonka's father, but I wasn't blown away by anything involving the factory. The Oompa Loompa left me cold too.
I recently watched Ed Wood again and laughed myself silly. First time I have seen it since the original release and I had forgotten about Wood's cross dressing. Seeing Captain Jack Sparrow/Sweeney Todd in angora is so funny. Martin Landau is spectacular as Bella.
Were those scruffy Yorkies with the Chihuahuas when Wood goes to check on Bella at his home?
