The following College Humor video parodying the style of Tim Burton’s movies has been online for a few days now, but I can’t get it out of my head, especially after seeing his latest film, Alice in Wonderland, earlier this week (look for my review of the film tonight; the film is also the topic of the latest episode in our new podcast “Running Dialogue”, which should also be up sometime tonight). I like most of Burton’s filmography up through Big Fish (which is one of my all-time favorite movies). But the director’s work has increasingly become unintentional self-parody, which leads to this eviscerating parody CH did on the director and his not-so-secret formula. It’s pretty damn funny (especially when Danny Elfman lays out his “new” score for Burton’s next movie).
Check it out after the jump. Alice in Wonderland hits theaters in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D tomorrow, March 5th.

Wow, that is all so true. lol. Seriously Tim Burton needs to get over the goth phase, ever since he made Beetlejuice he’s become progressively worse. Big Fish was a great film though, I think it was his last good one so far.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when Charlie and the Chocolate Factory got such high ratings from critics, it was the worst piece of garbage I’ve seen in a long time and seemed to be flamboyantly off kilter just because it could. Lets not forget the terror Johnny Depp struck into the hearts of children on that day.
To be fair the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder was just as fucked up.

Still more creatively talented and successful than you'll ever be.
