Sweeny Todd

I went to see it yesterday with my sister. It was soooo awesome. It was kind of creepy, but that was the point. They had to make the blood look really bright and fake though, because there was a lot and people would have been leaving the theater....

Wish it was playing here. I have to drive an hour to the nearest theater that's showing it!

There are about 4 theaters near me. I went to the mall yesterday and then I decided we should go see it. It was sooo cool. Except there was a 5 year old and a 7 year old there and they were like terrified when they walked out.... Parents shouldn't take kids of that age to a rated R movie...

well, there are 2 more lives messed up! Geez, parents! those ratings are there for a reason!!
I'll take the cheap route and wait for the DVD....

I almost couldn't get in. My sister was going to send me to the bathroom and she would get my ticket. But it was her friend so she didn't have to. I could pass as 17.. but they ask for ID's so I wouldn't have got in

Ah, youth! You barely have time to enjoy it, and it's gone!

Maybe the same place the socks in the dryer go....

That sure is the truth, where does time go?

I don't know. Where does it go? lol.

You find out and get back to us!

lol. Okay!

Fandemonium was sure great yesterday. We were 10 feet away from Jim Leyland, Dontrelle, Clay Rapada, Nate, and Bondo!

I wanted to go! My mom knows some ushers who were there and said it was awesome.

A lot more relaxed than Tigerfest, according to some people sitting behind us at the Q&A. They had been there on Saturday and said it was zoo-ey.

Yah the ushers who she works with with there too. She said both were really cool. I wish i could have been there!!

but at Toledo, it's so much more laid back...and only 4 Tigs were there...and Paws.
GO PAWS

lol. Yah that's what i have heard. Leyland was talking on the news a little bit ago about inge. He said he wants to be traded and 'we' (the tigers) want to trade him.

I just got done viewing the 1998 version.

In 1998, Ben Kingsley and Joanna Lumley starred in the John Schlesinger - directed The Tale of Sweeney Todd, a television movie commissioned by Sky for which Kingsley received a Screen Actors Guild Best Actor nomination.

It was quite interesting, to say the least.

I know the one mentioned in this thread is:

Quote :

Tim Burton directed a film adaptation of Sondheim's musical starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd, Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin, and Ed Sanders as Tobias. The cast also included Sacha Baron Cohen and Timothy Spall. It opened in U.S. theaters on December 21, 2007 and in the UK on January 25, 2008. The film received two Golden Globe awards - one for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical (Johnny Depp), and one for Best Picture, Comedy or Musical. The film was also nominated for three Academy Awards, winning for art direction.

The interesting thing is that the child that played the mute apprentice of Sweeny Todd looks just like a young version of Depp in the 1998 version.

ya never know! could've been his cousin!

I was very pleased that the Tim Burton version of this Broadway play stayed fairly true to the originasl version by Stephen Sondheim.

The music in this show is Hellish and Wonderful in the most macabre way.....

Just in time for Halloween!!
