SLACKERJACK - The Corpse Bride

Tim Burton pretty much surprised everyone with Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. People were just starting to write him off as the lame-o director of the - let’s be honest - awful films Planet Of The Apes and Big Fish.

But then Charlie And The Chocolate Factory actually turned out to be pretty fantastic. Was it a fluke? Well, judging by the press for his new film The Corpse Bride, no.

The Corpse Bride is a Tim Burton animation in the style of The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s about a dead woman wanting to marry you (a situation we’re frankly already pretty bloody sick of) or something. Anyway, it looks good, and it stars the vocal talents of Burton mainstays Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.

To promote the release of The Corpse Bribe, something called Bonymail has been invented. You can draw or write a message on an online mirror and then send it to your friends, who see it drawn by a spooky hand. You can write whatever you want, but if you’ve got the same white hot intellectual wit as we have, you’ll just draw a cock and write the word ’shit’ underneath it.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. There’s also a Corpse Bride Ouija board to try out - in case you’re so hopeless at determining the course of your own life that you need to ask a pretend dead skeleton - and a creepy video in a graveyard to watch. Because we love you, and the Corpse Bride loves you.
