How horrible our Christmas will be!

This week is Tim Burton's "classic" The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have yet to see this (before this post) and have always wondered what drew in all of the punk and goth kids to this movie. I remember seeing a making of on HBO before this came out and was really interested in the process of how it was filmed (stop motion) but didn't have a desire to see it. Well before I attempt to delve in to this movie a little bit here is a trailer for your viewing pleasure...



This might come to a shock to some people but after seeing this movie i am rather indifferent towards it. If you didn't know what this movie was about here ya go, Bored and unhappy with the life of being "The Pumpkin King" Jack Skellington of Halloween Town, Jack sets out to find something exciting. Jack discovers "Christmas Town" and takes it upon himself to take over the duties of Santa to deliver toys across the world to children. (credit to IMDb) I was a little bummed out that this movie isn't even feature length with a run time of only 76 minutes. I'm not really sure what all to say without bashing this movie but, I didn't care for it at all. So the only thing that I really liked in this movie would be the soundtrack. The story was really predictable and I could almost tell what the fate of all the characters were (a lot like when I saw Corpse Bride). That's all I really want to say about this mediocre movie, I guess I can still show you some interesting scenes...

I loved the detail in the "art".


The holiday crossroads.


Jack's Christmas experiments.


The black light was interesting effect, it added to the psychedelic feel.


Zero is the new Rudolph.


Christmas turns evil!


Halloween Town gets a little taste of the real Christmas.
