Whoops. I read that as "haven't". Not sure why.

GOOD MORNING PHIL. It's probably afternoon there.

I am a slave to the phone all day today, waiting to find out if I indeed have the job offer from that software company. We shall see.

So are you a big Tim Burton fan, or did you just like that one movie? What did you like about the movie, btw? I'm curious to know. I thought it was just OK. I think I liked the so-called "original" with Gene Wilder much better.

I wouldn't call myself a "huge" Burton fan (my Mom hates him) but I have a good appreciation of his material.

I feel that the old movie is kind of overrated. It's more of a genial bubbly candy-land sort of thing. The new one, in the spirit of the book, is weirder, darker, and edgier, and I like that.
