Christmas Blades

Not really fond of the killers,
someone get them a razor for Christmas please!
What's up with the mustaches?!

Let’s put aside whether the Killers suck, don’t suck, or whether you should care or not. Let’s talk about one thing, Mr. Tim Burton and his stop motion skills.
Next to the Vampires, my second obsession are Skeletons.. Oh i'm so dark, but you're all loving me for that.

With the video for Bones by The Killers, Mr. Burton continues with his signature trend. The idea is that everybody is truly dead, a skeleton at least, and that taking off one’s clothes is not truly taking off one’s armor: taking off one’s SKIN is the only way to reveal the inner self. So we get Devon Aoki (Sin City) and some guy doing the skinny dipping on the beach thing, but it’s the skin coming off, not the clothes. This allows burton to throw in the two things mandated by his deal with the devil to show up in all his work: skeletons, and stop motion. But it works for me.
