Because Tim Burton can't direct.

lol dunno

I hate his aesthetic so much, and I especially hate people who say he's "dark". His movies are fucking Disney feel-good shit.

"Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front"

Because Poe wrote on both

Because atop them they both have feathers black as ink

I sort of liked the movie.

shoot me for enjoying an entertaining film I guess :(

>>421720

That's the worst joke I've ever heard.

>>421727
Your not alone, Tim Burton fan here

>>421730

If I remember right he made it up without having an answer and people made up solutions and he picked one.

>>421731
>Your
>Tim Burton fan

and all is explained.

>>421734
You're
Happy?

>>421730
Editors wrecked it,
The joke was originaly intended to have the word "nevar" rather then "never" however the editors corrected this
The point being that "nevar" was Raven spelled backwards

>>421736
No, you're still the average stupid cunt with shit taste that can't spell.

>Tim Burton fans

I'm a pretty huge musical play/operafag, and I thought Sweeny Todd was an excellent adaptation and unique rendering of the original. I love that movie. And I don't really identify myself as a "Tim Burton" fan.

>>421756

Well I don't know why people would begrudge him that. Sweeny Todd was written as shit. An adaptation that is shit would just be staying true to the source.

>>421718
Well, some of his works ARE kind of dark. Like Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd.

I love how a thread bringing together a line from Lewis Carroll's original work and Tim Burtons adaptation has turned into a pissing contest between the fans and the grammer nazi's who hate Tim Burton for some strange reason.
Well done Anon, well done
But why is a Raven like a Writing desk?
anyone have a different answer?

why is a raven like a writing desk?

hmmm. seven launcher slots?

they're both used by hack writers

Pretty sure I remember reading that Carroll never really came up with an answer for that riddle. Haven't seen the movie although I had a feeling Disney would fuck up the story in an effort to jazz up the characters, in particular Johnny Depp. Amirite?

where did u get screenshots from?

>>421722
....It's 2 PM in AZ.
I'm not asleep.

>>421828
yeah, he intentionally made it without an answer.

>>423496
that post was 12 hours ago.

Because they are both objects of abuse from the almighty and powerful Human, true God of this universe.

>>423502
I see.

They're both.

They've both been raped by Tim Burton.

Because if the Raven is really mellow and cool they both will sit perfectly still while you write hilarious graffiti on them.

God damn did this movie suck. I love Tim Burton, but oh boy did he completely ruin Alice in Wonderland (something nigh impossible to do).

because spork
lmao so randumb xD

The TS surely isnt that high quality

Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front.

>>423676
Right answer, but >>421723 has a nice answer.

The movie's pretty enjoyable as a separate identity, much like Sherlock Holmes with more acid and Tim Burton.

>>423589
My cheek just twitched. I didn't think that part of my cheek could twitch.

>>423749
>>423676
Nice googling dipshits.

There is no answer, Carroll did not have an answer in mind when he wrote it.

>>423792

Probably a mild stroke.

All Tim Burton has ever done is rape everything I cherish.

Because the higher you go, the fewer there are.

>>423874
Tim Burton, like M. Night Shyamalan, is less of a director and more of a franchise.

Because you can ride neither as a bicycle.

"Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter's Riddle (see p. 71) can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here waht seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz "Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in the front!" This however, is merely an afterthought: the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all" - Author's Note.

>>421707
You're raving mad!

>>421707
Anyone have that without the text in the first panel?

>>423828

>I already knew he didn't have an answer for it until everyone started pestering him.

Still, funsies.

I love the story about Carroll being asked to appear before Queen Victoria with a copy of "his book".

Silly man brought a copy of one of his texts on mathematical logic.
