The Sweeney Todd thread!

[Fmbm]

So I've seen Sweeney Todd twice and I'm OBSESSED! I'm thinking of seeing it another time :naughty: Who here as seen it? What did you think about it? What's your favorite song in it? etc.

:biggrin2:

[heineken22]

I love "Johanna," "Epihany," and "My Friends" best :-)

[heineken22]

Johanna was stuck in my head for 3 days straight.

this one girl in my english class was so close to killing me for singing it so much. :bleh:

He never says "love" :naughty:



I feeeeeeeel you Johaaaaaannnna

I was half convinced I'd waken
Satisfied enough to dreammmmm you
Happily I was mistaken
Johannaaaaa

I'll steaaaaaaaal you Johannnnna
I'll steaaaaaaaal you
Do they think that walls can hide you
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside youuuu
Buried sweetly in your yellow haiiiiiiir



*cough*


My bad. :naughty:

[JackViolet]

It kinda sucked.

--Jack

[lollipopgirl83]

Oh I am in luuuuuuurve with it...:mf_lustslow: :wub2:
I have the soundtrack and can't stop listening to it...my favorites have to be The Worst Pies in London and A Little Priest....

The line of "some shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top" makes me giggle everytime....:naughty:

I hope Sweeney can give Johnny his long overdue award (though it doesn't matter much, he's been snubbed so many times:thumbdown: )

[Fmbm]

It kinda sucked.

--Jack

Aww you didn't like it? Why not?


It seems people wither loved it or hated it. *shrug*

[*carrie*]

This is my favorite movie! I'm obsessed..I listen to the soundtrack all the time. My favorite songs are: No Place Like London, Pirelli's Miracle Elixir, Epiphany, The second Johanna one, and Not While I'm Around ...I can't choose :)

[babuccia]

Hi! I looooove Johnny Depp and his movies.. But i haven't seen this one yet..:thumbdown: But it's really good guys?:blink: (but i'm sure it is:naughty: )

[JackViolet]

Aww you didn't like it? Why not?


It seems people wither loved it or hated it. *shrug*

Too dull, too dark (not in a good way but a "wtf this is supposed to be more fun" way), not humorous enough, no character development, had no heart or soul, no interest in any of the characters, Depp was boring, and seemed to be working against the lyrics rather than with them.

Visually lovely though.

Wow, Jack, tell us how you really felt! :naughty:

Hahah, Deb, you may like it. Most of my friends did, although a few agreed with my assessment.

Anyway, it's pretty enough to see once anyway, I'd say.

Completely agree with you. I walked out of the theater knowing I never want to watch it again. Boo!

But great for you all who enjoyed it. :naughty:

[*carrie*]

I think I'm going to see Sweeney Todd in Atlanta in June. Not the movie but the actual show. I'm so excited!!!

[lollipopgirl83]

I think I'm going to see Sweeney Todd in Atlanta in June. Not the movie but the actual show. I'm so excited!!!

Our drama group is going to LA to see it! I might go if I've got the money!:thumb_yello:

[BonjourMika1990]

Sweeny is a great film!

Blood and all, it was very whimsical and quite raw...in a fanciful way. Tim Burton is one of my absolute favorite directors... He chooses the best actors, or rather the most unique and character based!

Johnny was flawless... I actually feared him:shocked:
I left feeling a deep sense of just "WOW!"

So, if its bloodiness that disturbed people... he was called a deamon barber for a reason:naughty:

[mandilambi]

I am starting to get tired of Burton being so formulaic. Can he ever do anything that isn't dark? He uses the same sort of characters every time. One dark-haired, thin man; one dark-haired brunette; one extremely blonde woman with long hair. Oh, and all of them have to be pale-skinned and appear as though they're on death's door.

[heineken22]

nice observation. :bleh:

it's true, though.

he needs to use someone besides Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.

[mandilambi]

For real, girl.

[heineken22]

it's not that i don't like Helena, she just needs to branch out from the...odd kind of movie rolls.

[mandilambi]

I don't like her.... So I get frustrated when she's the lead in his movies. :-S

that's one of the things I love about tim actually...
I can always tell when I'm watching one of his movies because they're so specific and they have this element to them that no one else's movies have...

I just think he knows his stuff, and appeals to the people who want to imagine

[mandilambi]

Whereas I can agree that detail is nice, I also don't see the point in creating movies that seem to be the same each time. I'd love to see him do a movie that is completely different from all the movies he's done before. He has done that before and he could do it again just fine.

And just because I don't like how his movies are so similar does not mean I can't imagine. :)

Well they all have different subject matters, but similar actors...and always johnny lol...but I mean all directors have their muses.

I didn't say that specifically at you:roftl:
A tim fan has a certain kind of imaginationt that needs to be fed in a way that normal people don't need lol

I completely agree!
His movies always have this feel to them, and I love the dark, goth type feel to em. Edward scissorhands, nightmare, sweeney, corpse bride. And he still sometimes does a tad bit different stuff, even though they have the same feel to em, like charlie and the choc factory.
it's good to use some different actors sometimes, but honestly, I love johnny and helena in tim's movies. they always fit perfectly for his types of movies.
And of course It's pleasing to the eyeballs to see johnnayy heheh :naughty:

[sweet-dreams]

[mikaholic]

I need to find someone to go with again. The friend I went with the first time didn't like it...:boxed: I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with her.

[lollipopgirl83]

I listen to the soundtrack like 24/7 haha.

[cheeseygoodness]

i've seen it twice, and my best friend has seen it 3 times!

we got kind of annoyed at the "johanna" song, so we started counting how many reprises anthony did. it seemed like every time he was bored... "i feel you johanna".

i loved the "by the sea" scene. the best part is when he's wearing that striped bathing suit :wub2: . and when the preacher asks if he wants to marry mrs. lovetts, and he just nods his head.

[Marleen]

I haven't seen the movie yet :sad: Here it comes in theater on 7th february :sneaky2: Can't wait!

I did the last time I went :naughty:


And yes, I do want to see it again haha

[*carrie*]

I've been begging my mom to take me back to see it, but she won't..she thinks it was too weird :shocked: And it isn't playing anywhere near here so I had to drive an hour and a half to see it last time.

Aww...I'm having the same problem with Atonement...I'm dying to see it and the closest theatre showing it it over an hour away:thumbdown:

How can it be weird? Hmph...it was amazing...:wink2:

[Kates]

Sweeney Todd isn't playing at my movie theatre :badmood:

[*carrie*]

Sweeney Todd isn't playing at my movie theatre :badmood:

Have you seen it yet? If you haven't, you should drive to where ever it's playing. It probably won't ever come to my theater. I hate small towns sometimes :sneaky2:

[Kates]

Nope, haven't seen it.
I agree, small town theaters suck! This isn't the only time this has happend to me :thumbdown: I can't drive though:naughty:

[Fmbm]

Awww my mom just brought home the book for me:wub2:

Now I can have another book to read besides that dreadful one about "Native Americans" that I have to read for school:thumbdown:

[Mikafish]

8 more days until it's realised here! Damn Damn Damn!:sneaky2:

[IngievV]

I was thinking about seeing it. I actually was thinking about getting a subscription to the cinema anyways:naughty: I Love Johnny and Helena, but if I will bore myself to death I'd rather see another one:blink: Though in general I love movies with songs like Moulin Rouge and the Phantom so I might have a go...:blink:

[Marianne84]

I'm still waiting for Sweeney Todd to land in my country. :sneaky2: I want to see it soooo baaad!

[Blue Eyes]

WOO HOO ... Johnny Depp has been nominated for an Oscar for 'Best Leading Actor' :woot_jump:

...and rightly so too, in my opinion !!

Myself and lovely hubby Kev (jesterkevin) went to see a preview last Friday and Sweeney Todd certainly lived up to our expectations, an absolutely stunning film!!

It's not often we see a film more than once at the cinema (we usually wait for the DVD for a second viewing if we like something) but we've booked up already to see this again next week :blush-anim-cl:

The casting and performances are perfect and it's visually breathtaking. Definitely the most enjoyable film we've seen in years.


Anyways, WELL DONE Johnny :wub2:

[*carrie*]

Awww my mom just brought home the book for me:wub2:

Now I can have another book to read besides that dreadful one about "Native Americans" that I have to read for school:thumbdown:

Oh there's a book? Is it just pictures or is it the story?

[jessicamadq]

Ooh... We have a medium sized city but we only have one cinema so it's kinda annoying because the screens are always full so you have to book like a week in advance at least to get a seat.

[Fmbm]

Oh there's a book? Is it just pictures or is it the story?

Sorry I'm only seeing your post now :naughty:



There's not really any pictures, cartoon drawings every here and there, but I tried reading it and it's pretty boring so I stopped haha

[*carrie*]

Sweeney Todd's finally going to come here in a few weeks!! I'll finally get to see it again :biggrin2:

[Fmbm]

Sweeney Todd's finally going to come here in a few weeks!! I'll finally get to see it again :biggrin2:

Woohoo! :yay:

[Neiobi]

Ok, I'm a bit late at his, but saw it a couple days ago, and LOVED LOVED it!
I'm obssessed with the songs, and John and Helena make brilliant roles...

[A. Clay]

A BLOODY MESS
http://www.nypost.com/seven/08272007/photos/pg6b.jpg

August 27, 2007 --
TIM BURTON has been told to tone down the gore in the
screen version of "Sweeney Todd:
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," starring Johnny Depp.

The suits at Warner Bros. "became a tad squeamish when they
viewed grisly footage of blood splashing across the set as Depp
slits the throats of his customers," London's Daily Mail reports.
In another scene that has the studio on edge, a 10-year-old boy
feeds human body parts into a meat grinder to make meat pies.

The movie, co-starring Helena Bonham Carter and
Sacha Baron Cohen, opens in December.
