Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Tough to go wrong there.

15. I just saw it myself and I have to say...

as much as I love Rickman's voice, I can't say much about his singing voice.

He's still a great actor though. Truly horrible in that movie. :P

*edit* I mean, he makes his character truly horrible. He's great. :P

4. I loved it...
of course i watched it when my whole city was taken over by "Deppsomania"...
they filmed a portion of "Public Enemies" here in April, traffic was a bitch because most of Main St. was closed...
sometimes I ramble, sorry;)

6. rambling is perfectly fine
You could get away with anything in my book. If I had a book...

That must have been exciting having it filmed there. Depp is a bad man, I love his work. :)

8. Hey neighbor
the bad new is that traffic is still a bitch because of Ohio St. I live west of the river and forget the bridge is closed and end up taking really awkward and lengthy ways to the east side.

10. You have to love summer in WI...
and I know I will sound like a dumbass, but which side is west of the river? I have never been able to master the concept of direction;)

14. Once again
It seems I am in the minority, finding it a shit movie. I thought every aspect of it was truly terrible, from the acting, the Gothic feel, the music, the horrible CG blood, and the Depp-mania. It felt like Harry Potter meets Pirates of the Caribbean in A Nightmare Before Christmas. And it just was not a worthwhile movie - for $7.50 for a ticket or 700 megabytes.

16. I just saw it, and when it finished and the credits started rolling
my only response was, "So they went with an upbeat ending then." :P

... you'll get the joke once you see it.
