: You make it sound like Kevin is accusing Tim Burton of brekaing into his house late at night and running off with his DVD collection. Even if he had, that obviously was *not* the issue Burton had with it. Burton didn't seem to take offense at the idea that he would steal things, but rather at the idea that he would ever read anything by Kevin. Obviously not, since the man has absolutely no storytelling ability of his own. He does have really good ideas, but imagine if a movie he made had a good script too, hw much better it could be.
Yeesh, am I the only person in the house who liked "Edward Scissorhands?"
: Would Kevin's joke have been funnier if he were spouting out stock cliches written out by some hack, but surrounded by a bunch of computer-generated fake looking things that were all much more developed characters than he is?
Absolutely. Jar-Jar solves all problems. You put Jar-Jar in anything, and people know right away that it's a joke.
