there are few who’d deny, at what he does he is the best

The extensive exhibition on the work of film mastermind Tim Burton has been open at the MOMA for a couple of weeks now, and it’s giving this Boston girl yet another excuse to head to NYC over winter break. He’s captivated my imagination since the first time I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas as a little girl at my uncle’s house, and just in case you haven’t heard… Burton has (once again) collaborated with the beautiful and eccentric (Bellatrix!) Helena Bonham Carter and (surprise) Johnny Depp, as well as Anne Hathaway, to bring us his version of Alice in Wonderland. You can watch the trailer here. I sense that we should expect a splattering of Big Fish-style, enchanting scenery and Depp’s Willy Wonka-perfected strangeness that makes him all the more delicious (see him as the Mad Hatter below) even when covered in eighteen pounds of stage makeup… Anyway, how about we schedule a Mill field trip for March 5, 2010?
