Tim Burton avoids the Internet to remain happy: There seems to be more pleasure in thinking of clouds. Named one of the most famous filmmakers, the institution behind ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘Edward Scissorhands,” Tim Burton recently admitted that he had to quit viewing the Internet as it had a severe impact on his psychological state. Before opening the ‘The World of Tim Burton’ exhibition in London, in an interview with the BBC, Burton confessed that being online makes him stressed and sad.
Burton says that spending time on the Internet makes him depressed, and therefore, he avoids it as much as he can. Burton said he referred to himself as a “technophobe,” which means he hates the use of technology very much. He says that gazing at the Internet engulfs him in a “dark hole, so he says he feels worse.” For such things, he would turn his gaze to other objects, like seeing the sky and clouds, in an attempt to free his mind. He said that having big dinosaur models and a 20-foot T-Rex right in his backyard also makes him happy. He confesses that he gets depressed very quickly, maybe even more than anyone else does, and thus, he cannot allow himself to be near anything that will make him feel this way because it is unhealthy for him, such as the Internet.
Burton acknowledges that it is a valuable strategy to keep engaged with jobs and often neglected activities like watching the clouds. Cloud-gazing aside, however, it does not take much to bring back this old cadet out of his bad temper now and then. However, some recent jobs have had some significant adverse effects for Burton, which has been having some critical positive results very recently as well. His follow-up to the 1988′ Beetle Juice’, which he has dubbed ‘Beetlejuice Beetle juice,’ has been an industry success.
The movie, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, has taken in more than $434 million worldwide since its release in September. In addition to the success of ‘Wednesday,’ which was renewed for seasons 2 through 2025, these are some of the highlights of his career so far. Reflecting on his long journey in Hollywood, Burton says his comparison of it all becomes like the unpredictable world of ‘Alice in Wonderland’: the ups and downs are all part of the experience. That said, he feels now he can be more relaxed at his age to do what he wants, without too much concern for anyone else’s opinion.
“If people want to go along with where I’m going to be artistically, great. If they don’t, that’s okay.”. Then, Burton appeared to say that in a distracted world, he prefers to keep his gaze fixed on those things meaningful to him, such as clouds and creativity, rather than the Internet’s mess.
