ed wood

i just watched ed wood for the first time; a time burton film which boasts such celebrity stars as bill murrary, johnny depp, SJP, patricia arquette, and jeffery jones. The film is about ed wood, a real life sci-fi/horror movie director/ screen writer/actor/producet/etc. who later achieved the title of ultimate 'bad' director of all time. The plot involves bela lugosi, vampira, orson wells, and transsexualism, among other things. it's amazing and i love it and it makes me a bit sad that the last burton film was a bit too hollywood for my taste and i miss the quirk and honesty of his older movies.

whoa.

rembember this guy? before johnny depp was the go-to guy for middle-aged sexually deprived moms and winona ryder was best known for stealing some clothes and boning everybody in the music industry?

they are now doing an australian ballet version of tim burton's edward scissorhands. methinks we have a winner. actually it will probably be horrible, but I would just go see it because I never really thought (if I thought about it, which I haven't) that the words "ballet" and "tim burton" would be in the same sentence.

Here are a couple key clips from the article (from thewest.co.au, an Australian newspaper):

"Sending expectations through the roof is the creator of Edward Scissorhands, British choreographer Matthew Bourne, whose revolutionary Swan Lake featuring a rugby scrum of feathered hunks had audiences gasping when it played in Perth last year."

"Traditionalists, however, continued to turn up their noses at Bourne’s shameless populism and trademark blurring of the lines between ballet and theatre. He calls it musical theatre while cynics have dubbed his productions 'dansicals'."

I think I love dansicals! also, how much fun could the set people have making those awesome suburban houses and how much fun could the costume people have making those asymetrical haircuts for the housewives? hipster haircuts everywhere, be jealous.
