Movies Are Like an Expensive Form of Therapy for Him
Tim Burton has long been one of my favorite filmmakers. I’ve always been drawn to his stylized, gothic aesthetic, macabre sense of humor, and his sort of twisted exploration of his characters’ psychology.
So, naturally, I pretty much had a minor heart attack when I read about the Museum of Modern Art’s new “Tim Burton” exhibit.
From now through late April, the MoMA will be celebrating Burton’s vision through a retrospective gallery exhibition of his life and career.
The museum will, of course, host several screenings of his entire filmography, but its film department has also collected a very impressive display of 700+ photos, props, puppets, drawings, paintings, sketches, and sculptures from throughout Burton’s life.
Burton himself was even on-hand a couple of weeks ago for lectures and book signings (and, of course, an extravagant museum party) to celebrate the opening.
So this Friday, I — ever the devoted Burtonite — finally made my way to Midtown to check it all out first-hand.

So Meryl Streep was on last night’s Tonight Show with Conan O’ Brien to promote promoting Julie & Julia where she told Conan a story about her audition for Out of Africa…
Apparently Sydney Pollack didn’t think she was “sexy enough” to play the role of a 50 year old Danish author, so Streep’s solution was to stuff her bra. (You keep it classy, Meryl)
Check out the clip here.
