Nightmare before Xmas

[jessybxx]

So I knocked myself out with Tim Burton movies yesterday. First, I re-watched "Corpse Bride", and then I saw its predecessor (not really, but y'know) for the first time in about ten years.

I gotta say I remembered quite a lot from back when I watched the movie in German.
But now I'm starting to despise the dub, especially because Sally was apparenty voiced by Nina Hagen. Holy... I mean... What were they thinking? Casting a loud, stupid, crazy (in the bad way), deluded and obnoxious hag like her (Can you tell how I don't really like her? XDD) to play such a sweet character? And I'm sure they've redone the choir bits with like, four people. Because it's cheaper. Ugh. Ths country's entertainment industry is rotten to the core, with only a few notable exceptions.

Anyway. Nightmare.
It combines two of my favourite things - Gothic/horror stuff and Christmas.
Needless to say, I'd love it even if it wasn't such a wonderful, artsy movie that leaves a huge impact as only very few other film can ^_~

But my favourite aspect of the thing remains...
Danny Elfman. What a singer... what a voice *swoons*
He was great as Bonejangles in "Corpse Bride" and he's an awesome composer. But doing all that marvelous singing for Jack just killed me. Ded.
<3 <3 <3

yamasagi hasn't seen it yet. Might force him to when it's the season. Though, by then, I'm sure I'll know it word by word ;) Also, I'm worried about the musical aspects. There were only four songs in "Corpse Bride", but here, most dialoge is sung. And I have a certain suspicion that he won't like that all that much O_o

I want a new purse. The old one is boring and butt-ugly. Most purses are leather (bleh), plastic (no way) or some fabric. However, I'd prefer soemthing unusual. What about this? Yep, it's plush ^_^

I get the vague impression you don't like Nina Hagen. I, um, don't know her enough to say, but I really like her voice from what I've heard. I'll give a look at the German dub *ducks* XD

But YES to Danny Elfman. He could sing the telephone book (and actually I wouldn't put it past him) and I'd sigh happily all the way.

(Sent you an email with the plan A! It's getting CLOSE baby, we gotta roll! :D)

She just gets on my nerves. And she's batshit insane, and certainly not in the good way.

Yep, me too ^^

We're going to be so fucking broke by the time we get back in Torino. Aieeeeeeeeee

[jessybxx.livejournal.com]

Probably O_o

[silicondreams.livejournal.com]

Still up for it, though?

[jessybxx.livejournal.com]

Certainly. I'll get the moolah back, somehow. Fer sure. If I had any contact with my parents, I'd ask them to give me my bday money early. But dun worry. I'll manage ^^

Remember, if you're not ok with it just say the word! Also, I still have some money left AND I get some in a couple of days so, I help if need be. Sorry if I make you spend so much. :(

Nah, we've been planning this for too long.
It's my moolah, and I'm not letting anyone give me a bad conscience about it, which is what my mum would do if I spoke to her about this.
We're doing this, period ^^
