At this point, I seriously wonder if Tim Burton just runs his movie through a run-macro program:

PERIOD SETTING AND/OR BASED ON PREEXISTING WORK, Y/N = REGARDLESS, FILTER THROUGH SPOOKY GOTHIC VISUALS + DRUG-INDUCED ANIMATION
CAST = JOHNNY DEPP + DISTURBINGLY PALE WAIF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY FIT ON NOT, + LISA MARIE HAHAHAHA SORRY HELENA BONHAM CARTER
SOUNDTRACK = DANNY ELFMAN DOING THE MERRY-GO-ROUND-FROM-HELL MUSIC YET AGAIN

That's...above your usual capslock quota. I'm impressed.

It was meant to convey automated macro-speak rather than rage. :)

Helena Bonham Carter looks like a ball-jointed doll in that trailer. And not in the good way, either.

Burton ... kinda does that to his Women Of Choice, doesn't he?

[kali921]

...Point. But she looks particularly balljointian here - and worse, the CGI makes her alien forehead look like it's full of Jell-O. That shit is moving.

CGI has basically unleashed Burton to make real people into what he's probably wanted to make them look like all along.

[kali921]

To be fair to the industry the world over and all, hasn't CGI done that to ALL directors and visual effects people?

[box_in_the_box]

Yes, which is kind of my point - when the technology grows advanced enough that it allows you to literally imprint your own imagination directly onto the screen, with almost nothing lost in translation, then the resultant fault lies not in the stars CGI, but in the selves of those who use it.
