Dude, I love cheesy romantic comedies, and this was awesome.

Is TH still maintaining this? I was looking forward to having my name mentioned for the first time in forever this week.

If not, I totally get it--it's a massive undertaking.

Burton has done more than two animated movies. Frankenweenie sucked, but it counts.

Also, he didn't direct Nightmare Before Christmas. He just took credit for it.

He's made some really good movies, but he's made a lot of derivative schlock as well.

Tim Burton is alright, i honestly don't get why ppl love Nightmare before christmas so much cause aside from the characters design i don't see what's so special about that movie but i do love Pee wee's big adventure and Edward scissor hands.

Disney on the other made such amazing animated movies that it made japan go "HOLY SH*T" cause in a way, it was Disney that first legitimized animation as a respected source for good storytelling. They made movies that parents could enjoy AND could be proud to show to their kids despite the movies being racist and hiding subliminal messages in them.

That's all kind of badass imo, that's selling you magic in a bottle while giving you the middle finger.

i know this doesn't prove Disney films are better than Tim Burton's but i think it proves how historically significant they were.

I am. I'm just trying to get my own journals sorted first. I thought I would get back to it yesterday, but I ended up being too tired.

And as for Mondo, I'm assuming this is a shoe-in for your special?

How come you haven't been doing updates for a while?

Trollheart · 12-16-2015, 01:23 PM

Too busy with other stuff. Keep meaning to get back to it, but haven't managed it so far. Might be the new year before I get my **** together.

Trollheart · 01-28-2016, 01:21 PM

For many years --- well, months, I walked on paths about which I will not speak. But now, finally, after all this time, I have returned!

I'll be honest: I seriously thought this post would be one advising you all that I could no longer do this update, that it would have to be left aside. But then I thought about it some more and decided just to get it done. And so I have.

So expect the first update of 2016 on Sunday, though as you can imagine, there's a huge backlog for me to get through, so I hope you'll all bear with me while I take the time to catch up.

On sunday? perfect. It will be like reading the sunday paper.
