Nordling Interviews TIM BURTON?!?!?! Mondo Bizarro!

2nd? by chickychow	Feb 10th, 2006 04:17:36 PM
if not, fuck you too.
great interview by Atomik Steve	Feb 10th, 2006 04:23:19 PM
i like conversation-type interviews as opposed to reading a set list of questions. i think you got some good reactions and thoughts out of him. good job!
Good Job! by Josh Town	Feb 10th, 2006 04:26:12 PM
Tim Burton is a film God!! Nordling is a fan...I give him all the respect in the world for "sucking his balls". With that said, I think he composed a really good interview. Great stuff!!
So... by IAmLegolas	Feb 10th, 2006 04:43:26 PM
... you didn't want to ask him why he's been floundering since SLEEPY HOLLOW ... or why his commentaries are so boring and dead air filled that he has to be paired up with someone interesting (Paul Reubens on PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE saved his ass) or has to have it edited down to the good bits and sprinkled out along the course of the movie? (more recent DVD releases)... or if the reason CORPSE BRIDE rang hollow for a lot of people is maybe because Henry Selick was missing? *** Tim jumped the shark when he tossed Lisa Marie aside for Helena Boham Carter. (boy... I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm just all about the scathing posts today. Thank god it's Friday)
Tim Burton's next remake: The Three Amigos by strongbadmonkey	Feb 10th, 2006 04:52:06 PM

CORPSE BRIDE has an awful ending... by beamish13	Feb 10th, 2006 04:54:20 PM
Anyone over the age of 5 could see it coming a mile away. Elfman didn't get nominated this time around because, frankly, his work just wasn't up to snuff. I do love him and Burton, though, and I even own a conceptual piece Burton did for Disney's BLACK CAULDRON (now there's a film that needs to be revisited on DVD).
No need to worry, Nordling... by Koola_Norway	Feb 10th, 2006 04:59:14 PM
...you did great!
Yeah, it was a softball interview but so what? by JohnGalt2005	Feb 10th, 2006 05:03:52 PM
Burton is an interesting guy and he doesn't let those compliments go to his head (too much). I was surprised that Nordling didn't ask about Depp's performance in CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY? Or has that horse been beaten to death? Anyway, maybe I'll go rent CORPSE BRIDE...
Nice by bigj3rk	Feb 10th, 2006 05:17:01 PM
He says nice a lot, I hate that word.
Hopefully there'll be one? by quadrupletree	Feb 10th, 2006 05:22:23 PM
That's kind of a strange answer...
Sweet Interview by jimmy_009	Feb 10th, 2006 05:24:00 PM
Burton is great
Karloff? Sidekick? by 3 Bag Enema	Feb 10th, 2006 05:27:52 PM
FUCK YOU!!!
Nice read by Archduke_Chocula	Feb 10th, 2006 05:31:52 PM
Having just watched Corpse Bride again and prepping for movie night with Mars Attacks! I enjoyed that greatly.
That was ISF World Championship material... by HogCholera	Feb 10th, 2006 05:34:32 PM
but yeah, good job.
Nice job, Nordling. by MasterWhedon	Feb 10th, 2006 05:52:07 PM

Good interview... by dr_buggerlugs	Feb 10th, 2006 06:00:02 PM
...and good to see yet another filmmaker throw in his two cents about the turnaround on dvd releases and the emphasis (or lack of) on cinema.
Nightmare before Christmas score...... by Orionsangels	Feb 10th, 2006 08:29:29 PM
Is used for trailers way too much and will be for years to come. If you make a wacky horror movie or black comedy, get ready they're gonna use that music. Danny Elfman deserves more.
Too bad we didn't get to hear Burton's dirty joke... by Chief Redcock	Feb 10th, 2006 09:16:25 PM
Bet it would've been weird as bugfuck.
Great interview Nordling by Screaming Brain	Feb 10th, 2006 09:57:57 PM

NORDLING INTERVIEWED TIM BURTON WITH MY PENIS by ErnieAnderson	Feb 10th, 2006 09:59:24 PM
Since he couldn't afford a microphone. Someone get this poor bastard a paycheck so he can interview celebrities with his own penis instead of a stunt cock! NORDLING, YOU ARE A SEXY BITCH!
How can he not ask about "Edward Penishands"? by fiester	Feb 10th, 2006 10:27:02 PM
What a missed opportunity.
He didn't ask about how Burton felt about Batman Begins by Neo Zeed	Feb 11th, 2006 12:42:42 AM
C'mon dude!!
I was waiting for 1 question: what went wrong on APES? by Spacesheik	Feb 11th, 2006 03:01:16 AM
you didnt ask it mate
I'm happy for you, Nordling. by CoursinLarry	Feb 11th, 2006 05:43:20 AM
If I got to talk to Tim Burton, I bet it would go something like that. Maybe I would have talked more about Ed Wood. Fuck. That movie's amazing.

"The thing to me is that for animated films, the meticulous nature of hand-drawn and stop-motion, brings more weight to what you're seeing, as opposed to computer animation which feels rushed for me." ---- Dude, if you don't think computer animation is pain-staking and meticulous, you've not got a clue what you're talking about. Good interview though.
Lol, 3 Bag Enema by raw_bean	Feb 11th, 2006 08:51:41 AM
Karloff doesn't deserve to smell my shit!!
Great interview! by Dolph	Feb 11th, 2006 10:15:11 AM
I, too, would have liked his opinion on Batman Begins...oh, and to know why he never works with Keaton anymore (I really miss him in quality movies). Still, good job!
traditional vs. Computer by isNegative	Feb 11th, 2006 10:24:31 AM
Having worked in both mediums, I have to agree with raw_bean with computer animation being painstaking and meticulous as well... I just think that it's a little easier for it to be rushed or made more polished looking compared to traditional animation... as for the interview, I'd be lying if I said I could do any better... although I would have tried squeezing in a tasteful question about Planet of the Apes...
'The last real AMERICAN communal experience" by half vader	Feb 11th, 2006 11:56:43 PM
Oh for crying out loud. Get over yourself - from the the rest of the (non-jingoistic) world._______________________B TW, Corpse Bride WAS filmed digitally, with Nikon digital SLRs. At least Burton was being intelligent in saying match the medium to the message. I guess he kept quiet about Corpse Bride there because he thought it'd throw you for a loop. Although, I'm glad you did an honest interview, and didn't 'play the game' apart from the sycophantic stuff. Good work mate, just don't let your head run away with you!
YOU!!! by Dmann	Feb 12th, 2006 01:49:25 AM
YOU MY BOY NORD!!!
Baseball is another American communal experience. by Lenny Nero	Feb 12th, 2006 03:19:59 PM
And there, you can actually interact.
Cool cool. by Jaka	Feb 12th, 2006 04:03:00 PM
I'll give the interview a "good". Not quite a great because personally, I'd like to have fealt a little more push for info on future projects. But in the context it was given, as a person interviewing someone whose work they are clearly a fan of, it was quite good. On TB; I like his films - but I haven't loved one in quite a while. I do like that all his films are "Tim Burton" films - but I just think that recently they've been missing a bit of the magic they had at the beginning. A lot of his more recent films to me come across one of two ways; like he's searching, or coasting. I hope he continues to find films that inspire him though. Because he's definitely a unique voice in cinema.
10 year old's opinion .. by Thing-Fish	Feb 12th, 2006 09:27:57 PM
My partner's 10-year old daughter has declared Tim Burton to be the greatest movie director - she thinks he's even better than Jackson or Lucas, her other favorites. She's a cool kid.
Why Does This Remind Me of Chris Farley on SNL? by hipcheck13	Feb 13th, 2006 09:11:28 AM
"Uh...remember that time in 'Nightmare Before Christmas' when the guy in the potato sack tortured Santa?" "Yes, Nordling, I remember." "Uh...that was cool!"
Not bad by SLEAZY DINOSAUR	Feb 13th, 2006 10:24:04 AM
But a comic fan doing the interview, it would have been great if you had asked him if he's ever seen An Evening With Kevin Smith. Of course he probably would have hung up, so you would need to wait until the end of the interview.
Oh like any of you would have asked Tim Burton.... by www.valiens.com	Feb 13th, 2006 02:28:21 PM
Why certain movies suck while you're sitting across from him. Stop lyin'!
Burton always make the same film over and over by chien_sale	Feb 15th, 2006 02:15:20 AM
He should do original material ans get away from Elfman and the same designs for a while.
Get It Right!! by JaPra	Feb 17th, 2006 09:55:13 PM
Now, this is sort of crazy. Nordling did you actually forget what's happening at the box office and fail to realize WHY theater attendance is going down??? DVDs aren't a bad thing, they're coming out faster because money is being lost in theaters. Why is money being lost in theaters?? Anyone know boys and girls??? BECAUSE FUCKING TICKET PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING!!! Ticket prices and now commercials, the theater going experience is not what it's used to be and it's steadily declining. How could Nordling and Burton not have known that?? Ah well...
didja like corpse bride? by purplewarrior	Feb 20th, 2006 01:09:29 PM
Thank for for gushing over it. I would never have guessed you liked it so much. No Seriously...I can't think of better questions to ask him...Seriously.. you suck
