He's One Quirky Guy

i enjoyed myself so much at the tim burton's exhibition today. i went for the exhibition not knowing anything about him, besides knowing that he's the director of alice in wonderland. heard his name numerous times, and i know that he's definitely one big shot in the movie industry. since holidays are here, i decided to go check out his exhibition at federation square. mind you, there was a 35 minute queue on a tuesday morning. this is how great he is. he's a real talent. no regrets going, and i found myself a new idol. :)

sadly, we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition. i totally agree with that idea as allowing people to snap photos of his work will just lower himself. rachel, kimmy and i were blown away with his masterpieces. from sketching to movie production, everything was just awesome. i wish i could buy some of his drawings and hang them in my room or future house. his work displayed is so HIM. drawings, sculptures, movies and story lines were all so weird, sad, spooky. but the funny thing is, the majority of us out there do appreciate his work.

after today, i found out that he actually directed so many movies. 1982 Vincent, 1984 Frankenweenie, 1985 Pee-wee's Big Adventure, 1988 Beetlejuice, 1989 Batman, 1990 Edward Scissorhands, 1992 Batman Returns, 1994 Ed Wood, 1996 Mars Attacks, 1999 Sleepy Hollow, 2001 Planet of the Apes, 2003 Big Fish, 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory & Corpse Bride, 2007 Sweeney Todd, 2010 Alice in Wonderland.

can't believe i've only watched 2 of his productions. what have i been doing? adrienne's going to pass me Edward Scissorhands tomorrow, and i shall slowly start finding and watching the rest. and its always glad to know that he has upcoming productions. 2011 Dark Shadows, 2012 Frankenweenie, 2013 Maleficent, 2014 The Addams Family. :)

i couldn't leave federation square without a souvenir, so i got myself a post card and a tim burton's tragic thought journal. love the cover of it as it has colourful lights. everything about him is just so ____. is there even a word to describe his character? sad, lonely childhood are the words that occur to me when looking at his work. also, i guess his love life proves the point that love is fated, since his wife is Helena Bonham Carter. so compatible.

everyone in melbourne should go for this exhibition.
