How fncking uselessly condescending was this comment ?!

So you were born in 1979? You probably grew up listening to NKotB and watching *beep* TV shows like Dynasty ?

Wtf.

Perhaps you might explain what exactly you call disturbing and why it makes you not like it ?

Personnally I think it's a rather disturbing movie. But then again a lot of Burton's works are... His black humor and his constant "flirting" with death make me uneasy at times.

In this particular movie, I was always made very uncomfortable by the dead people in the afterlife... Juno with her slit throat and the guy with the chicken bone across his throat really make me feel weird. And the hangman passing paperwork around also gets to me.

But I don't understand why it would make you hate the whole movie. I think it's an interesting perspective. Why is it wrong ?

I think it's a great film...

It's only disturbing if you take it seriously. It is ireverent at times though, I will say.

Not sure about disturbing - "cringeworthy" seems more apt.
