I'm going to give you time off for being busy with your writing, job and being a dad and husband. But even so, a slap on the wrist is warranted.
Didn't read the full review of Alice, but I think you are being a little harsh on Burton's career.
You glossed right over Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985) and Ed Wood (1994) and Mars Attacks! (1996).
Well, not entirely. If you had read the full review, you'd have seen that I did indeed mention both Wood and Mars Attacks! and that I singled out the former as being a "real movie. (Sorry, but I thought Mars Attacks! was awful; I barely cracked a smile.) And I didn't mention Peewee because I haven't seen — in fact, I confess I've never seen the show, either.
Thanks for the correction about the director of Nightmare, though; I don't mind nit-picking at all, since I really prefer to get my facts straight. I've corrected my entry to reflect that, crediting "Sooguy", of course.
Back to Ed Wood, I remember it as being a pretty good film and also, being very pleased to see once again that my childhood judgement of Space:1999 was at least partly correct: Martin Landau really was a very good actor!
