By the way, when I mention blockbusters I'm not taking the piss. Local video shops are extremely sketchy with their video selections, whereas Blockbusters have that extensive 'world movie' section...which does have a slightly poncey name...

Also, they have a great selection of porn spoofs. 'Illegally Buxom Blonde', 'Interview with a Sexy Vampire', haven't seen any of them yet, but you've got to have goals in life.

Ooh. Mine's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Or Edward Scissorhands, or.. Beetlejuice. See the pattern? All Tim Burton! I love that man.

No, I have not yet seen the Corpse Bride. But I sure as hell want to.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favorites also. Still Tim Burton.

Good. Tim Burton is a good choice. Consistent craziness. There were some bits in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which left me a bit dazed and confused, probably because I thought that as he had to follow an already well-known story he'd stick more to the plot and it would end up being a bit more sane than his other movies. Did he do that? Not a bit of it! It was the most perplexing cinema experience I've had in a long, long time, possibly ever.

Bizarre. Yes. Genius? Yes too!

For crazy storytelling the Coen brothers are also good. 'O Brother Where Art Thou' is brilliant - of course those convicts know how to sing! Why wouldn't they!
