GO! Smell the Sweeney Todd, flowers!

February 9th, 2008 by Jim

STEP RIGHT UP! A musical flim we watched yesterday and after you’ve seen it we reckon that:

Gents -a cut throat shave will NEVER be the same again nor will a visit to the barbers!

Ladies - you’ll still lurve Johnny Depp despite him having that ‘just dug up’ look.

Well worth a watch but not for the feint hearted. We wondered though, how much of it was REALLY true?

Bridget lurves Johnny for his commitment to his beautiful partner, French singer and actress, Vanessa Paradis, mom of his two kids. They’ve been together for seven years, and still going strong!
GO! Johnny! ;)

ANYTHING with Depp gets my vote dammit!

Lotsa blood I hear at that movie.

I started to watch the movie and then stopped. I love anything Depp is in, even if it involves blood and guts. But I’ve always hated musicals (see http://omywordblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/getting-on-with-show.html for my reasons), and had no idea this film would be a musical. Blech!

Love Johnny, probably not going to see the movie, not very good with blood.

Cloverfields lined up for next week though.

I am so looking forward to seeing this. I love the Depp/Burton stuff like Charlie & the Choc Factory.

Is it like that but with blood instead of chocolate?

I like that Johnny Depp I do, anythink he’s in is brill it is.

Me an David bumped into im the other night we did. “Wotcher Johnny,” I says, “what you doin in a gay club, dressed in skin tight leather and snoggin all them fit blokes, when you is supposed to be appily married wiv kids to that skinny French bird what can’t sing?” I asked.

Well first of all he starts gettin all uppity he does, on account of that he thinks is bird can sing see. Then he starts gettin all nervous right and sayin that he’s doin some research for a film an a book what he’s workin on which is all about someone comin out of the closet.”

“Don’t tell no one will you Elt,” he says to me, “only, I don’t want no one to blow the surprise before the release.” Well he made me promise I won’t tell no one, so I’m not goin to.

But of you ask me, he’s just a bloomin big poofter he is, an if he carries on like this it won’t just be the film release he’s blowin!

I was considering watching this but you’ve just put the kiss of death on it.

You recommended ‘Across the universe’ the musical with Beatles songs. Whilst flying back to China it was on the list of films shown on the plane so I tuned in.
Apart from the music I have not seen such a ridiculous, dull, predictable and downright sh!te film in 36 years.
I had half a mind to try and open the door and jump out over Novosibirsk.
Total cr@p.
