Poor Henry Selick, actual director of nightmare before Christmas.
Anytime I hear anything about Tim Burton now, I just feel bad for Selick.

MODERATORS
Needs to be more specific to narrow it down. "Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Burton's wife) make out in this movie"
Ex-wife* they were together 13 years
So thats why shes not in Wednesday. Huh
Not when there's a clue in the name of the category. That's the point of jeopardy, you actually have 2 clues.
Joke's on you, the name of this category is "Music by Danny Elfman."
: an Oompah pseudo ska bass line approaches from the east:
What is dark shadows?
What is Sweeny Todd?
What is Alice in Wonderland?
What is Fight Club?
Johnny Depp wasn't in fight club lol
Anyway, what is Corpse Bride?
Nor was it directed by Tim Burton.
Are you sure? I'm pretty certain that I remember Tim Burton’s Fight Club in which Johnny Depp plays a haunted sandwich that was an allegory for Don King. My favorite scene is the one where the love interest is told that she has to be realistic, because she can't live with a haunted sandwich. So she eats the sandwich and dies from food poisoning.
Tell me you don't remember this very real movie that I didn't make up.
Tbf I want to watch this more than any "real" movie.
*Johhny Depp bites sandwich, suddenly he starts a transformation, much like your typical Dr. Jekyll situation with the screams and the contorting the body, then when the smoke clears the only difference is he has Don King's hair and voice/affectations.*
only difference is he has Don King's hair and voice/affectations.
And constantly reminding everyone that he's, in fact, a turkey club sandwich. And he has a few leaves of lettuce poking out from his collar.
I think you are getting Fight Club mixed up with the criminally overlooked 'Franken-Hoagie'.
Easy mistake.
What is Alice in Wonderland?
score updates to -$500
(Whoops, I got him mixed up with Brad Pitt, apparently. I guess you could say he was a figment of my imagination.)
Nobody knows because no one talks about it
Johnny Depp was actually Bitch Tits. Practical effects had reached their zenith.
What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.
What is a night at the Roxbury?
I am Jack Sparrow's smirking revenge
It depends on the name of the category.
What is Charlie Shadows and the Lone Alice Bride of Fleet Street?
Ok... you've stumped me on "Lone." I think I get the rest, but...
The Lone Ranger :)
No one ever watched that movie
The editors and the director have at least seen it in its entirety, based on my limited understanding of how movies are made.
Wait...I know Depp was in that, but Burton and Carter didn't have anything to do with it, did they?
Carter was in it, but Burton was uninvolved.
Always reminds me this great piece with Ricky Gervais
Oh, brilliant. I'd only seen the one with Liam Neeson before.
Is acting dangerous for one's mental health?
What?
Tim Burton (1) really only directs dark movies (tonally, not luminously), and (2) went through a phase where everything he did either involved the actress Helena Bonham Carter (including his marriage, for a while) or the actor Johnny Depp (to whom he was not married), or both.
The question for this Jeopardy answer could equally be any of five things:
-
What is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (the 2005 film, not to be confused with the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)
-
What is Corpse Bride?
-
What is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?
-
What is Alice in Wonderland? (the 2010 live action one)
-
What is Dark Shadows?
And if you add in his executive producer credits, you can toss in the Alice in Wonderland sequel, too.
Sorry. It's actually what is you gotta be kidding me?
