Mumbler! MUMBLER! I can't hear anything you're saying.

Signs that Tim Burton is loosing his edge:

(1) He remakes Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the
only redeeming quality of which is its inclusion of Johnny Depp.

Let’s be honest with ourselves folks, Johnny Depp saved that movie from being another lame remake. But I did like it. It had a darker feel and a more interesting story. And Johnny Depp.

Anything would be better than those damn Oompa Loompa songs in the original. They freaked me the fuck out! They were like little orange midget demons chanting satantic verse!

(2) He remakes A Nightmare Before Christmas and calls it Corpse Bride.

Com’n! You’re breaking my balls here, Burton! Plot of this movie: Some dude inadvertently marries a corpse—macabre hilarity ensues. Has Tim Burton been taking his creative cues from Nick Wauson?!?
I'm not even sure Johnny Depp can save this one.

This is what happens when good directors stop taking drugs. See George Lucas for further reference.
