A couple of things
Why didn't I realise that Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd was the Sondheim version? I'd have been far more excited had I known.
I loved it. I love Burton's aesthetic, I love the hammy acting, I love Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham Carter in unfeasible costumes and silly characters, I loved the red-as-my-car blood. I disagree with many of the critics; I think Depp can sing. The narration-style talking-singing doesn't flatter anyone's voice, but when he got the chance he was very much in tune.

snapesbabe will enjoy linking to it in her Political Rants ;) It's written by a policewoman and she gets irritated by many of the same things I do, and yet (take note all you Opinion Writers) she never tells you what you should think :)
