Burton
Every Christmas I try and break out Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before X-Mas” and live in its ecstasy. And I was planning on just posting its trailer right now, as it’s obvious how much its aesthetics have not only affected everything I’ve done artistically since, including the graphics seen in Clan’s February relaunch, but also what it’s obviously meant to Pete. But while searching for the trailer, I saw these two upcoming clips. First up, the Burton produced “9” - which looks pretty stellar.
And secondly, “Coraline,” which will be a 3-D release in February 2009, and I think I could line up right now
in anticipation.
So the plan was to stick to nostalgia with “Nightmare Before Christmas,” but I’ve realized the future looksÂ
even brighter. Something to think about for all of us really.
While we’re on the subject of movies, look for my Top 10 Movies List this weekend, as it will actually be my
15th year of compiling this list - and I’m stoked this year to be able to publish it here for you all. Merry
Christmas, people.
