TETRO sounds less like a movie than a video game.

My own indifference to the GODFATHER films (I haven't seen #3, admittedly) is due almost entirely to indifference to any gangster film made since the 1930s (and I'm not terribly keen on most of those). For the same reason there's quite a few of Scorcese's films I haven't seen either, and I like those I have seen better than any that I've seen of Coppola's. So count me among those who don't "get" the GODFATHER films. I do recall being quite impressed with APOLCALYPSE NOW, but it's been something like 30 years since I saw it, so I don't know how I'd feel about it now. I have found that the Coppola films that impress me on first viewing don't do so on a second one... though I haven't exactly isolated why.

My better half is a theatre prof/costume designer. I remember telling her about the wacky costumes of the final, 1841, parallel time story from 1971. So we watched a few episodes. One of her comments about the late Keith Prentice's Morgan Collins still makes me smile.

It's interesting to me, anyway. I shall never quite out grow my DS addiction. Or my hots for Sir Christopher at his snarling best.

You say "Wicked" , like it's a bad thing.

Not sure if I find it especially interesting, but a.) I've nothing against it, and b.) I'm sick of seeing MR. HUSH on the main page,

Hey, it's a Tim Burton movie. It could be a remake of RAMBO III and I'd be there.

And so would Christopher Lee...

In the case of the last, it may in part be a case of preserving domestic tranquility -- though, as opposed to Nanette Newman or Rebecca Pidgeon, I don't object here.

I think it's less that than Carter being ideally suited for the kinds of female characters Burton generally has in his pictures. I mean, as far as I know, he's not married to Johnny Depp and they've worked together a fair bit. HBC hasn't struck me as miscast in any Burton pictures yet.

I'm not wholly convinced of that.

Whether he's married to Depp and/or Carter, neither has exactly served him ill.
I was merely noting that Burton Does have a rep company of sorts... most directors do as far as that goes.

Especially after the "cure". Less hopeful.

It HAS to be better than the TV show.

I guess it's become an insignia that Depp wears clown white for a Tim Burton film.
>>It HAS to be better than the TV show.<<
This does not look promising however.

It's one still. It means very little.

I wonder if it's makeup that allows them to do something with the lighting or color. Perhaps it will have all the color leeched out like in other Burton films.

It might end up better than the soap, but probably not better than HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, which still holds up pretty well for all its economy.

Based on the synopsis, it's going to try to cram about two years of the original show's story into a two-hour film.
