Comments on This Weekend at the Movies

Very interesting poster. According to the link, the MPAA objects to the hood that the prisoner is wearing. I would have thought was headdress or something.

At any rate, with political overtones aside, it is a beautiful design with the feet tying into the image of the flag. Thanks for posting

Savages review of ST is pure BS. Can he ever stop talking about how fucking gay he is?

Horror kicks ass.

GodDAMN how I do love you, Lindy West.

That's all.

Dan's a bigger fag than I am. So it looks like I'll be enjoying Sweeney Todd. Hip hip!

I'm a huge musical/Sondheim fag and I really liked Sweeney, ESP. Helena Bonham Carter.

SONDHEIM even approves of the movie.

I did agree with Dan about the gruesomeness of a certain death at the end, though. Too much.

And the little boy playing Toby is awful.

Sweeney Todd is one of the best films that I've seen all year.

All year.

And as a Platinum Lifetime member who gets to see on average 2-4 movies a week, not including the ones I watch on TV, that's something.

Stop the hatin.

By the by, my 16 yo son loved it! As did all my friends.

"My arm is ... complete!" (or words to that effect)

Besides, who didn't love that beachside scene ...

I'm totally looking forward to my 10:08 orgasm at the Chipmunks movie.

@7 - no, the Chipmunks movie wasn't that good. Sad, really, as the voice casting wasn't bad.

Will, dude...

Dan's crazy. ST is not the stage production. It's a completely different interpretation.

For one, you can't have a 3 hour film musical--shit has to be cut. And the shit that was cut was cut with Sondheim's blessing.

Second, you can't have full stage voices in a film. The camera is too close and it makes it look like they're screaming at you. If Dan is that wedded to the stage version y'all should have someone else review it. Do over!

Sigh. I'm really glad they didn't let you review the movie version of Hedwig. The two are entirely different experiences, both brilliant in their own way, but your stage bias probably would have come across.

I dread the day they make a film version of Eggus.

"Hey I was in a movie about Sweeney Todd called 'Sweeney Todd'and everybody forgot about it. Just because my movies not a musical doesn't mean it wasn't a top notch performance. I give Depp props but, come on if you don't like musicals then check my movie out. Damn hollywood always remaking works 20 times over. uuuugh."

not really Ben Kingsley, just a light hearted mock script. Ben Kingsleys Sweeney Todd is at Borders. And it wasn't half bad.

Oh yeah sure Ben Kingsley. Your just like the rest of Hollywood. Your film was based on my film as well which started the whole moviedom of Sweeney Todd and the musical mind you.
My movie that was made in 1936 was the creme de le creme Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
stick that in your pipe, Ben and Johnny, and smoke it.
But I feel your pain. Everybody is like ' Oh My Sweeney Todd Sweeney Todd' just because Tim Burton made it. Bah humbug.

Everybody shut the fuck up and acknowledge that everything I say and do is absolute.
