Has anyone done or seen a photoshop of Romney onto the poster for "Edward Scissorhands" ?
If yes it will save me the trouble.

Maybe I can work in the 7/11 cookies, Seamus and the NASCAR raincoats to show how much Mitt has grown up, or at least grown old.

It cost around $20mil to make and rentals were only $27.5 mil so it did make just a little money but for a Burton film it was considered a flop until it went to cable.

Many people found the film after the Seinfeld episode. I think it is a unique and charming film and it came out after Vincent Price died. Glad to know it has found the audience it deserved all along.

(2,097 posts)It made $56 million in theaters -- nearly 3x its cost, which is not bad at all.
At any rate, though, I don't think we want Willard associated with as beloved a figure as Edward Scissorhands. Sweeny Todd, however...

(53,410 posts)Edward Scissorhands is one of the most compelling and loveable characters in the history of movies. Depp was pure genius in it. It was a great movie and made me a Tim Burton fan for life. Mitt is the total opposite. A clumsy, mean spirited turn off of the biggest kind. The man is the least compelling human being out there. I don't see a single redeeming quality in him. Not one.

Edward Scissorhands was a gentle, loving soul who would have been bullied by Mittens. The comparison makes no sense.
