Noel Neill and Jack Larson have made comments about the "double tap" suicide.<br /><br />Holy Scorsese! That would be a combo! I am actually curious to see his Frankenweenie movie coming up. I like Burton's style. I just don't care for overlaying that style on others' work.The Aardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425052822588090155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-9613360759173903062012-04-21T10:26:44.466-05:002012-04-21T10:26:44.466-05:00@Weatherly --- even worse than being "Scotty-...@Weatherly --- even worse than being "Scotty-ed" is what happened to people like George Reeves. <br /><br />(your comment to Jay): yeah, I suspect Burton gets weary of always being associated with a particular style of film. Alice In Wonderland looked as if he had slept all during the production. Frankly, I'd like to see Burton team up with someone like Quentin Tarentino . . . orMichael Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808166630399508232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-25874624811044091232012-04-21T00:10:47.499-05:002012-04-21T00:10:47.499-05:00@ Michael- Jonathan Frid is a classic and tragic c...@ Michael- Jonathan Frid is a classic and tragic case of an actor getting "Scotty-ed".
