Right after we had 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', we have 'The Corpse Bride'. Starring Johnny Depp. I'm not exactly sure what this movie is about yet, but I'm betting it's like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Tell me what you think.

[Golden Djinn13]

I think its about a guy who somehow is forced to marry this dead girl, and hes trying to escape.

[Yuki]

n.nV yeah, there was a special on this in March, but I completely forgot about this movie until yesterday when I saw the commercial. I also think part of it is that they think he's dead.

[Golden Djinn13]

This movie looks kind of like Burtons other movie....Nightmare Before Christmas.

[Yuki]

>.>;; I wonder what I put in the intro...I really cannot wait for this movie...I'm itching to see it...

[Golden Djinn13]

I can see that you like dark movies ( freak -_- )

n.nVV not my fault..I just like them (and you calling me a freak is a compliment)

[Golden Djinn13]

Whatever you say, Princess Mango. Anyway, have you found a trailer for this movie?

[Yuki]

Yes, I have. Eugine found it for me on MSN.

[Golden Djinn13]

Could you post a link, i'm to lazy to search for myself -_-

[Yuki]

XD Princess Mango will find you a link

[Izar]

A guy marries a dead girl... That's all I've heard, saw the trailor twice. I don't think it's gunna be all that good though.

I saw a really long preview when I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From what I can tell, there's an arranged marriage between Depp's character and some girl, but he freaks out at the last minute and runs away into the woods, where hw trips up and accidentally puts the wedding ring on the finger of an arm that happens to be sticking up from the ground. The corpse bride comes up and is all like "we're married now!" and then a bunch of stuff happens. also, a lot of the people from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are in this movie too; Tim Burton directs it, Depp plays the groom, and the actress who played Charlie's mother does the voice of the corpse bride. overall, it looks really weird, but it should be interesting (in a really weird kind of way)

[Yuki]

That's what I love about Tim Burton's films. They're weird, but they're still awesome. Nightmare before Christmas was the same way with Sally and her...umm...puzzle body ._....anyways, his movies are always on the disturbing side. He thinks "outside" the box ^_^

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

It does look uniquely interesting as it sounds. But I don't believe I'll get to see it anytime soon; I'm not a fan of such semi-goth/punk/fantasy movies like this.

[Yuki]

^_^ you peoples never giving anything new a shot. For all you know it could be the best movie you've ever seen...

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

I know that, but, I haven't really gotten to see the Chocolate Factory, so I'm pretty sure I won't see Corpse Bride. It's just that ... I don't have much interest.

[Yuki]

*sigh* Well I'M gonna see this movie. And I'll tell everyone what they're missing. Probably won't care though >.>; ...

[Crimson Barrel Knight]

Well, there will be people going to see it. It's not like everyone will desert you in the theatre. ^_^

[Yuki]

If I scare them enough, they might ;D Besides, I'm gonna drag my friends to see it. They don't like this sort of thing either. But then again it's not like they're ripping bodies apart in front of you...

[Luna]

OMFG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOVIE SINCE JANUARY D:

Sethro's right about the story.

But, historically it's kind of sad. It has something to do with jewish marriages. It think they were against them in...Russia or something, at some point. So, when the bride was going to her wedding, they would take her carriage and bury her alive. ... Or maybe they killed her before burrying her. It's something along those lines.

*goes do research on it* D:

[EDIT That took two seconds, literally]

"The Corpse Bride is a story based on actual events that occurred in 19th century Russia, at a time when anti-semitism was widespread in eastern Europe. Very often bands of anti-semites would waylay a Jewish wedding party on their way to the wedding. And because the bride would be the one to bear future generations, she would be ripped out of the carriage and murdered.

She would then be buried in her wedding gown."

Voila.

[Golden Djinn13]

Reminds me of the video "Helena"

Anyways, I never knew Russia was anti-semetic. Now the movie sounds more interesting. ^_^

oh, it was. have you ever seen "Fiddler On The Roof"? it's partially about (or at least the setting is of) an oppressed Jewish village that is tightly controlled by Russians. They actually crash one of the weddings and smash a bunch of stuff, but there's no actual murders or anything.

but anyway, back on topic...

<.<
>.>

[Yuki]

I AGREE WITH SHEBA I have been waiting foor soo long DD: but, thank you for the story behind it ^^

[Eugine]

That's really not my type of movies, I don't know why but I'm not into those gothic movies.

[Golden Djinn13]

Im not really into goth movies either ( I cant even stand being in that store, Hot Topic ^_^ ), but I will see this one, because of the storyline.

[Yuki]

o___o . . . I practically LIVE in hot topic. I always bee line for hot topic anytime I'm in the mall

[Golden Djinn13]

That place is just a little dark for me. ( The employees are wierd too) :P

[Yuki]

o.o I saw one girl today, she had a mowhawk (orange) and the shaved hair around her head was purple.

Anyways, this isn't "gothic" it's just dark.

[Izar]

Just putting a ring on a finger doesn't mean you're married unless you kiss. lol, this one looks strange, yet again.

[Luna]

^I think the Corpse Bride is actually asking for the kiss during the movie.

You'll have to see what happens though :D Or, you could also go and read the actual folktale.

[Blue]

I saw a trailer for this movie in the theaters. I think it looks very good. I think it's kinda wierd though that Tim Burton has Johnney Depp in his two newest movies, but he is a very good actor. I think this will be one of the best animated films of the year.

[Luna]

You think it's kinda weird?

It's not weird at all. Upto date, Tim Burton has worked with Johnny Depp in 5 of his films:
-Edward Scissor Hands
-The Corpse Bride
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
-Ed Wood
-Sleepy Hollow

[Blue]

huh. I'm not familiar with some of those movies. The only one I've seen was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Oh well...
