Was reminded very much of 'Edward Scissorhands', particularly by the opening sequence and the part where Willy Wonka poses in front of the factory with a pair of huge ribbon-cutting scissors in his hand. And of course the bright cartoon colours and plastic extreme characters were rather reminiscent of the surreal quality typical of Burton's work.
Had dinner and went to see the NDP fireworks - along with what seemed like half of Singapore. (Damn a lot of people... grr.) But after the initial interest and fascination with the light, the fireworks became just a bunch of sparks contributing to the global warming and air pollution. I guess it's true that fireworks are just pointless unless you've got someone special to watch them with. Bleh.
