Awesome director with a minor touch of insanity, among other things. Originally started working at Disney, on the animation team for The Fox and the Hound. Has since went on to direct movies such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Mars Attacks!, as well as two shorts. Also has a freakish relationship with Danny Elfman.

Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

Tim Burton is a pretty movie director whos popularity with the emo and kindergoth crowds have skyrocketed through stores like Hot Topic hawking every piece of Jack Skellington, Sally the Rag Doll, and Corpse Bride merchandise available. 98% of the time, his movie scores are composed by Danny Elfman.
Kindergoth: Oh my GAWD this Tim Burton pillow has Jack Skellington on it! 70 dollars? I'll buy it! It's soooo tragic, but quirky.

Willy Wonka: Everything in my factory is eat-able, even i am eat-able but that is called cannibalism and is frowned upon in most societies.

Great director who directed some great movies but is not close to being the best director ever.
It's a damn shame Tim Burton has been brought up to the Hot Topic crowd.
