I remember having said this already at least once on this factoid but repetition is the mother of all knowledge, so here it goes: "Guys with puppets get chicks." I`m not really sure about that but cartoons with puppets get high rating points. Of course, "Corpse Bride" is one more indication of my obsession with Johnny Depp. I may turn into a stalker one of these days if I won`t stop raving for every bit of film where he`s on. Ok, I probably won`t watch the Elm street movies just because he appeared on them... but such an idea came to my mind something like a minute ago. No, I`m not that obsessed! There`s no way I`m going to watch this Freddy Krueger fellow just in order to see J.D. for 10 seconds. Anyhow, Corpse Bride is one gothic fairytale about a shy young man marrying a dead woman by accident. Victor and Victoria would have been a perfect couple if Victor hadn`t put his wedding ring on the finger of the deceased Corpse Bride. What`s good about the cartoon is the aura, the atmosphere and the animation. Here you won`t see neither the crappy Disney-style drawings that I can`t really stand nor the computerised animation which also rarely works perfeclty well. Although stop-motion animation isn`t quite the hottest trend nowadays in "Corpse bride" it`s done so perfectly that even I can`t complain (although you probably know that I do complain a lot). The story itself is quite nice and the difference between the grey and gloomy world of the living and the colourful mess of the dead is amazing indeed. The only thing I didn`t really like was Victor not staying together with Corpse Bride in the end - she was a much more interesting person than that Victoria for sure. But you can`t always get what you want, they say. Still the perfect combination would be achieved if the whole three of them had stayed together. Nah, that sort of relationships wouldn`t be tollerated in a PG cartoon.
Update: I absolutely forgot to mention the most important thing about this film. Whilst watching it I suddenly experienced a weird sound from my computer and the film continued without sound. A few seconds later a smell of something burning came into the room. I hastedly turned off the amplifier and the PC and started smelling both of them in order to determine which one was dead: the sound card or the amp. The amp seemed to be working (at least the lights were on) so I logically concluded that a huge possibility exists that it`s the sound card that has died. It would be a dreadful thing - I have a sound card that is built-in on the motherboard and I would have a lot of problems replacing it (or actually - adding a new one). It would be especially uncool, considering that a built-in LAN interface on this M/B is dead already, and I don`t want my computer to become a pet cemetary. Anyhow it turned out that it was the amp that was dead despite the first impression. So I finished watching this film with earphones (with terrible earphones as a matter of fact, for I was too lazy to look for better ones). So now I have a corpse amplifier.
