That's the squirrel's tiny anvil, now

bethje and I watched Sleepy Hollow last night. I have to say that it certainly wasn't Tim Burton's finest hour (or two hours, or however long it was). It seemed like ol' Tim wasn't quite sure what he wanted the movie to be, seeing as how it switched from a condemnation of our forebears' ignorance ("Hey, our turn-of-the-nineteenth-century justice system sure is corrupt and stupid!") to a Scooby-Doo type of thing ("Wow, the Headless Horseman is really one of the guys we met at the beginning, who worked out a convoluted plot so he could embezzle some money or something!") to something about masochistic lesbian witches and carriage-top swordfights. I mean, I guess it kind of all fit together (I was going to say "made sense," but that's a little too generous) in the end, but...eh, just not a great film.
