So here's a little story to appease the grotesquely bored friends who visit my blog. I JUST DISCOVERED THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.
As you know, I am a huge Tim Burton fan. I saw commercials for James and the Giant Peach on television (to be shown tonight on cartoon network). So when my little sister wanted to watch a movie with me, I grabbed that off the shelf.
It was told to me that as a child, I wanted to go see some long forgotten movie, but it was sold out. My grandmother retaliated, and took me to see this movie. I think it birthed my unhealthy obsession with TB movies.
Anyway, I discovered the most amazing thing ever...
As we watched, the giant peach floated into the Arctic and they needed a compass. Deep in the ocean, there was a pirate ship. The centipede went into it and saw the remains of a captain and exclaimed, "A skellington!"
I laughed, because I knew it was one of my hero's touches. But when I looked at the skeleton at the desk, I realized it was Jack Skellington of Nightmare Before Christmas, in pirate form. I FREAKED OUT, screaming, "OH MY GOD!!! IT'S JACK AND HE'S A PIRATE!!!!!!!!!"
"What?" Mary inquired.
"ISN'T THAT JACK SKELLINGTON?????"
It made me extremely happy, due to the fact that I hadn't seen that movie since I was probably still in the age group of single digits.
And I found myself screaming at the television, "GO JACK!!!!"
..
Tim Burton... you're my hero....
I'm not sure why that deserved a blog...
