After much deliberation I have decided that Tim Burton be my topic of choice. For all of you who are unaware of Tim Burton let me explain... Director of great movies such as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare before Christmas and most recently Sweeney Todd, Tim's work has become legendary amoungst movie go-ers everywhere and has earnt him a cult-status amoungst fans. "And are you one of these creepy fans, Amanda?" I hear you cry! Indeed I am... (gotta consider yourself pretty hardcore after standing in the rain for hours waiting for him and Johnny Depp to turn up at the Sweeney Todd premiere) Now I know what your thinking... he looks like a bit of a nutter! But lets face it, the "eccentric" look's earnt him millions of dollars throughout his career, so he must be doing something right!
Part of the decision to choose Tim Burton (apart from being a fan of his work) came from the fact the other eager members of The Cushion Club, chose themes in the television and music categories. Choosing someone who inhabits both the film world and in particular Movie Direction just shows the diversity of topics covered by the online community network.
But what has this homage to Mr.Burton got to do with Online Communities, well I decided to join one of his many online fan blog sites: http://www.timburtoncollective.com/forum/ so I too could visit the realms of the adoring fan, even if some of the members do scare me slightly with their enthusiasm and dodgy (in every sense of the word) story rewrites :P
