Also, those high heels would NOT be staying on. At least, not on every woman. Unless my experience with my shoes not all being perfectly fitted is outside the norm. (And that's why my heels are usually Mary Janes or t-straps -- they stay on that way.)

And I'm amused that I had to whitefont all the shoe stuff so as to not give hints about that picture.

Tim Burton: How did it all go so wrong so fast?

Hmmm. There are parts of that article I agree with, but the writer thinks Big Fish is a bad movie, which is such an utterly wrongheaded statement that I am just sitting here sputtering.

Everyone knows I am a huge Tim Burton fangirl, but I admit he's made some crap. I don't think I'm ever going to get over my sense of betrayal about Alice In Wonderland. But Dark Shadows was fun (and far less "zany" than I had feared), and Frankenweenie is note-perfect.

He lost me there, too. He clearly doesn't like Southern gothic magical realism, but that doesn't make it bad. I love that movie.

It's my favorite Tim Burton movie, even over Beetlejuice. I don't watch it very often because I sob all the way through it (and I haven't tried to watch it at all since my mom passed away), but I do feel it's Burton's best work.

The fairy tale/tall tale feel of it is just perfect.

I did not know what to expect when I first saw Big Fish, but after 15 minutes, I just ran with it.

I'm not a person who naturally embraces magical realism (most times I have to be sold on it), and I was taken with Big Fish. I think you kind of have to be a Scrooge or have a contrarian personality to hate that movie.

Steph, given [link] I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Now, I go look.

hell yes, my shoes sometimes fall off walking, so the MINUTE I'd be airborne, neither shoe would be on.

Ahahahaha! Now I know why RDJ didn't look so tiny next to Hemsworth and Hiddleston.

hell yes,

That's why my fancy shoes have straps. Otherwise they flap around like they're beach flip-flops.

I wanted to like Big Fish, but I remember leaving the movie still angry at the dad.

But I liked all the fantasy stuff with Ewan McGreggor.
