I used to like to pretend that the guys I dated were hot Edward Scissorhands and I was a fatter, less popular Winona Rider. In my fantasy I had to save them from their tortured lives as isolated, misunderstood artists or the townspeople would revolt against them (townspeople = my parents). Unfortunately, most of these guys turned out to be Beetlejuices who made me feel like a disembodied pair of legs.
Am I talking about two different Tim Burton movies right now? Yes. But really only one- I watched Edward Scissorhands over the break and dude- I was sobbing. It’s time for you to watch this movie again.

As a rule I don’t like science fiction, but as a rule I love Jake Gyllenhaal, especially as a likable yet disturbed high school student in the late eighties. I choose to consider this movie to be an arty character study about a teenage boy going crazy, even if writer/director Richard Kelly thinks it is about a bunch of other weird bull shit.
