Screw the remakes. Find Ra...I'm with Matthew.<br /><br />Screw the remakes. Find Raspberries' live album and feel the energy they must have felt when the music was new. The song was primal and a real inducement to get naked, fast.<br /><br />There's no energy in The Killers' version. It sounds like something they tossed off right before lunch to fill a contractual obligation. No heart, no soul, no passion.<br /><br />Who'd wanna fuck those guys?DBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-88658366564732309592012-05-22T22:21:59.995-04:002012-05-22T22:21:59.995-04:00At long last, have they no decency?!

Balls to the wall and irony free.matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556436780614516274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-73827070299245662732012-05-22T20:22:32.128-04:002012-05-22T20:22:32.128-04:00I always felt Eric Carmen was the Jay Black of the...I always felt Eric Carmen was the Jay Black of the 1970's!<br /><br />ROTP(lumber)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-60326687451237915532012-05-22T17:51:47.727-04:002012-05-22T17:51:47.727-04:00Agree on both the movie and the Killers.

Of course, even Tim Burton's best films tend to have weak third acts.

I saw it as a love letter to the soap (so it was more parody than horror/action.) It's by no means perfect, but was another good Tim Burton flick. Not a *great* Tim Burton movie, but not "Planet of the Apes" bad, either.<br /><br /><br />The cover of Go All The Way over the credits threw me considering how much other period music they used during it. I love that song too much to find very many cover versions of it to be crap.Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-68527961826786213122012-05-22T13:02:23.021-04:002012-05-22T13:02:23.021-04:00I've got to say...just going by the commercial...I've got to say...just going by the commercials alone, it looks like Tim Burton's worst movie ever. <br /><br />I guess it's kind of fortunate then that the guy who played Barnabus Collins on the TV series checked out just before the trainwreck opened.stevesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-34467623120875697122012-05-22T12:36:51.252-04:002012-05-22T12:36:51.252-04:00The trailer looks terrible.
