I remember keeping up with this a little (mostly on newsgroups) in the 90's. Excited then, now I'm excited it never happened. Long read but the pics and skimming some quotes will be enough to make you fall out of your chair

Never been a fan of Tim Burton. Hated his take on Batman. Christopher Nolan kicked his ass on that front. I laugh every time someone talks about burton being a great filmmaker.

But even with that in mind, my word those pics and that script are even worse than I could possibly have imagined.

I, for one, would have LOVED to have seen that movie. Not because I think it would be good or anything, but rather that it would be soooo bad that you just can't help but watch and laugh. That has some level of entertainment value.

Remember Mystery Science Theater 3k? This is the kind of movies that got blasted.

Nightmare before Christmas was awesome when I was a kid.

I wouldn't say he is or in anyone like Nolan's league but Big Fish and Beetlejuice are great movies

His style overshadows the actual material but there are some very solid productions in his career's work.

      Holy poo, App State is 5-7 and in a bowl game. LOL! The dozens in attendance look thrilled to be there. Attendance is so light half the players' parents didn't even bother.

      I have said that about Morgan in his playing days looking at facing Bryce, he would be licking his chops. To present a case for Dan having some sanity. I mean no way a real player would fear him, right? But I am not sure any more.

      Bryce missed a number of opportunities yesterday. There were guys open but he had either already moved on from them or never even got to them in the progression. He doesn't have a guy right now that he trusts. It was TMac earlier in the season, but he and TMac are not on the same page all the time, and Coker is actually the best WR on the team right now. I know that hurts some feelings, but it's true. The oline got their lunch money taken all day. It was really bad. In both the run game and the pass game. You could see when the QB lost all confidence in them and that mental clock started to shorten. But as a QB you have to push through that and stand in the pocket, go through your progressions, and deliver an accurate ball on time.  But yeah, my biggest take away is that this offense lacks speed and a true playmaker. A couple of solid guys but no true playmaker. As much as BY checked down to RBs, they couldn't make a guy miss in one one opportunities. And they weren't even LBs. They were DBs. You have to make that guy miss.  If they're serious about winning right now and not about player development, then Jimmy Horn needs to take XLs snaps. They only put him in to influence the deep safety with fly routes - XL can do that. Jimmy can run a lot more of the route tree than XL right now. Also Etienne needs to play more snaps. If BY is gonna be a checkdown king, then they need someone that can actually do something with the ball in space. Interior oline is weak. They aren't very consistent getting to the second level. Outside runs are this team's bread and butter. Gotta embrace that.
