Corpse Bride Screening Anticipated

Is Tim Burton going to be there? Is Tim Burton going to be there? every student that came in for the final asked. And none of them came in at the same time as students everywhere will or will not. Sometimes there is a down side to being an ASIFA Board member. Students expect me to know.

I don`t know. Warner Bros. marketing have not announced guests. At least not to me. No late night phone calls. Larry, don`t tell anybody but . . . There is no guest list at all. Take your Ethics final, and don`t cheat. For all I know there will just be a projectionist and that will be it. But then again, who knows?

The students are worked up and it is not just because it is finals week. Burton hits a cord with students. This is the most anticipated opening since Howl`s Moving Castle. Now there is somebody else that knows how to connect with the student and everybody else too.

Whatever WB does or does not do, Corpse Bride has legs of its own, even if they are skeletal. Maybe because they are skeletal. But defiantly because of Burton.  ¶ 5:40 AM
