Deathly Hallows joke!
Dec. 7th, 2010 09:40 pm Told you guys I would draw one!
I know the books kinda explain a bit more why Harry follows the creepy historian and the light, but jeesus, the movie makes it seem like his idea is less logical and he's got an unhealthy obsession with the "follow the leader" game. I mean, if Ron suddenly re-appeared with no warning, despite him saving my ass from freezing water I would you know... CHECK if it was REALLY HIM. Voldemort didn't order people to kill Harry after all, just bring him back. You'd think, as a former brewer of Polyjuice potion he'd be an itty bitty more careful.
Regardless... Good movie. I just like how movie!Harry is 100% more reckless then book!Harry, who already kinda was.
In other news, there's a Tim Burton exhibit going around in Canada that includes multiple drawings. Some are from old Disney projects (Black Cauldron concept art?), others for his main films... others are just crazy ideas. It's currently open at the TIFF Lightbox Gallery in Toronto. Those who can, please go for me! :D I really like the sample drawings i've seen :
Burton also seems to be riding on a strange project, allied with Montréal filmmakers, he seems to be trying to piece together a movie from... twitter suggestions! Burton suggested a premise and other people are adding to the story. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Burton. But i,m a little puzzled by his latest movies. And also by him using the same idea that generated the dreaded "Snakes on a plane" (Yes, the movie's scenario was built from internet suggestions). So I wonder where he's going with that.
I have a strange love/hate relationship with Burton's work. I adore some of his work and am truly puzzled by others. I don't know if the guy is just out of ideas, or if he just likes different types of ideas, or if he's just doing it for the fame and fortune. Not to mention, the more I read about the works I DO like, the more I realize many of the ideas poured into the work are not directly from him per say, but from his team. It's odd. But i'm kinda glad his drawings are being exhibited. That's one thing that will never change with him - he's definitely a visual master. When he comes to visuals and colors, he's very creative.
However, I gotta say, I hate how Hot Topic decided to make a whole bunch of mechandise with Tim Burton stuff on it. Yeah, it fits the perky goth subculture, but something hurts the goth in me when I see kids dressing as vampires with alice in Wonderland t-shirts. Gah.
