That Burton didn't get an Best Director nomination at the Oscars for Ed Wood or a Best Original Screenplay nomination for The Nightmare Before Christmas always pissed me off, but neither ever particularly surprised me (he actually may not have written the screenplay for The Nightmare Before Christmas, but whoever DID write it certainly deserved some recognition). Oh, and why is there a very tiny smiley face at the bottom of the AFoR page? Has that always been there, or is my OCD acting up and I should immediately contact my doctor for tasty, tasty anti-psychotics?

It is the grimmest, yet most simultaneously awesome musical you'll ever see. Musicals don't usually transfer between the stage and screen very well (The Producers when they put it back in theatres, Legally Blonde, The Wedding Singer), but sometimes you get a gem like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or Xanadu (trust me, it's camptastic), and it all works out. BTW, if you're ever in NY, go see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It's an awesome time. I haven’t seen this yet, but we watched a taping of a stage production in my acting class at school.
