Bring on Hallowe'en.

Hmm. Tim Burton. Johnny Depp. Animated movie that looks a little bit like The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Sign me up.

In other, related news, I'm kinda tired and cranky today, because I stayed up quite late last night watching Ed Wood on the telly, and it didn't finish until 2:30am. Dammit.

It's a great movie - I'd actually forgotten how good it was. Aside from Johnny Depp, you've also got Bill Murray on deck, and that bloke who plays Ed Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh, and George "The Animal" Steele. So yeah, not a bad lineup. Not bad at all.

The script is beyond good, and paints a hysterical and vivid picture of a film industry that's not a million miles away from where the games industry is at present. It's a rare movie that's so hilariously funny from start to finish, yet also quite poignant in some parts, and genuinely inspirational in others. It's watching stuff like this that makes me get off my arse, and have a crack at something I really believe in.

Does anyone know how close to the truth this film is, incidentally? I'm not really that familiar with the real-life events it's based on. Having said that, I'm actually quite tempted to check out Plan 9 From Outer Space, just to see if it's as bad as the movie makes it seem. Surely it's not possible. Is it?
