Tim Burton's Secret Formula
Because making fun of Tim Burton hasn't gotten old yet but his movies sure have, the latest original video from CollegeHumor reveals the "spooky" auteur's secret formula.
As his budgets grow more massive alongside his ego, his films have just gotten more and more insular and Tim Burton-y, never really pushing the director beyond his comfort level.
You really have to wonder how a genuinely interesting director has devolved so deeply into self-parody. Maybe the bored yes-men in this video aren't all that far from the truth!
This video's single flaw is that the Burton character isn't creepy enough! His whole aesthetic seems cribbed from his own wardrobe, hairstyles, and weird, creepy grin.
