Nielo Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Because Tim Burton deserves a thread. And ... because I met him today! Yesterday he was at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival to collect a Career Achievement Award and today he did a signing session and a public interview. Tuesday we stood in line for hours for tickets for the interview and we were the first ones to have them (there were only about a 100, and a lot more people than that) and today we were lucky enough to get into the signing session. (A whole lot of people had to be sent home, because there were just too many - he'd still be signing right now if all of them would've gotten a chance.) Anyway, the signing was extremely cool. Only 10 people at a time were allowed, so I was pretty nervous. With only 9 other people in a room with Tim Burton? Wow. But then, when it was finally our turn (only 10 other people would be allowed in after us), we came to realize we wouldn't all be let in at the same time. We were standing in this little hallway, leading up to the room Tim Burton was in. The room was just perfect. Really nice carpets, it looked kinda old and there was this blue-ish/redish (I can't be sure which, my attention was focused on other things ) kinda light. And then of course there was this table with Tim Burton sitting behind it. He was really kind. He shook hands with some people (not me) and asked me how I was doing and thanked me while he signed my Big Fish dvd. He takes his time signing stuff. He looked me right in the eye. (Well, he would've if I wouldn't have looked down. ) The interview was really cool too. He was really relaxed and funny and he was wearing socks with skulls on them. (Maybe it was Jack Skellington, I couldn't see them. ) Then we went to a viewing of Edward Scissorhands, which he talked about a bit before it started. Some friends of mine then followed him back out and were able to take a picture with him. He's not only one of the best directors, he's also a really kind and funny guy, so here's a thread that's dedicated to him. (And I just needed a place to tell my story, because I'm still jumping up and down in my chair.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaMariaPetra Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi Nielo, that must have made your day! Good for you. My nephew told me a few weeks ago he was going to be a trainee for some dutch tv-guide-magazine. And his first assignement would be to interview Tim Burton! He was almost just as exited as you because he is a huge filmfan. I shall ask him is he really did the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guineverer Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 i love his works and his art, they're so unique! i love how he doesn't care if his movies have less conventional themes than other directors, it makes him one of a kind! i used to haunt the tim burton collective forums, but i don't now, because they re-vamped the whole forum and almost half the people i knew there were gone...
