Wagon full of knives.

Jet Bin Fever - 2012-09-26 It used to be the thing for a tinker to go around sharpening knives. You could make a modest living that way.

Not the sort of menacing exit he was hoping for.

I was delighted and horrified the day I learned that line was only a snippet from a full poem.
"They stole little Bridget for seven years long"
"When she came down again all her friends were gone"
"They took her lightly back between the night & morrow"
"They thought she was fast asleep, but she was dead with sorrow"
"They have kept her ever since deep within the lake"
"On a bed of flag leaves watching 'til she wake"

Please take notes Mr. Burton.

dairyqueenlatifah - 2012-09-26 I assume it's the same idea in the movie, television, and video game industries, that we must remake EVERYTHING because it's almost guaranteed profit with very little required in the way of creativity. Nothing can be left as it is, we need to shine it up with new actors and resell it to a new generation!
Giving it that Hot Topic flair only adds to the profit margin, and no one is quite as good at adding said Hot Topic flair as Mr. Burton, my friends, as the live-action Alice in Wonderland proved a couple years ago, by becoming one of the highest grossing films of all time. Hell, now he's down to remaking his own films in the same fashion. (Frankenweenie anyone?)
I'm sure before we all kick the bucket we'll see The Wizard of Oz follow the same fate. You know Mr. Burton, Mr. Depp and Mrs. Carter are dying for it. You just know it.

Binro the Heretic - 2012-09-27 It is possible to do good remakes. I mean, we have John Carpenter's "The Thing" and "Casino Royale" which kicked all kinds of ass.
I think the main problems are the studio turning it into a money grab and/or the director turning it into a big monument to their ego.

I used to be really afraid of this as a kid, but it still doesn't compare in creepy to the tunnel scene.
