"One-two, one-two, and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack --
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."
--Lewis Carrol, "Jabberwocky"
Ah, yeah, well, it's the main focus o' this lil' site anyways. The latest movie by Director/God Tim Burton.
Sleepy Hollow did some switching around with several story aspects, but it's amazing to see how some scenes from the book actually made it into the movie, like Brom throwing the flaming pumpkin at Ichabod, etc.
What makes this movie so interesting, at least in my opinion, is that everything fits so perfectly, never before was there an adoption this beautiful. The entire set of the town was actually build life-size by Tim Burton and his crew, absolutely all of it was made entirely for the movie. Some of the backgrounds, and the Van Tassel estate, are paintings, but otherwise it's all realistic - with the special effects by Industrial Light and Magic.
I don't really want to spoil the movie to those who haven't seen it, but it's simply marvelous, though, as my friend Nina comments, compared to "Beetlejuice", Sleepy Hollow is "less Burton-esque", but not necessarily less bizarre.
I'm working on a little movie description, it'll be up in the next update! ;)
New - the SPOILER/SUMMARY. If you've never seen this movie before, this'll most likely take some out of the surprise of your watching, for those who've watched it once and didn't quite catch everything, this could be somewhat useful. Don't say I didn't warn you!
