Tim Burton's "Stainboy""He can't fly around tall buildings, or outrun a speeding train, the only talent he seems to have is to leave a nasty stain."

That was cute. I guess it took some of the sting outta all those layoffs.

Its insane the money they paid Burton for that kind of crap. Not even mildly entertaining.

this may sound dumb, but what layoffs?

wow, that was boring and mildly disturbing
if I do say, I think they're trying too hard
anyways, this cost HOW much?

When I heard Tim Burton was getting millions to do web things for shockwave, I thought it'd produce stuff like this.

Hopefully the second, third, etc. episodes will be better.

I found it quite funny, but certainly not worth an investment of millions - though I expect Danny Elfman charges a steep fee for his musical services . . .

How much was Burton paid? Can anyone provide a link to some documentation? I'm most curious.
