I'm just happy that the latest trailers/ads for Sweeney Todd have acknowledged the fact that it's a musical.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
When I saw the trailer for Sweeny Todd my first thought was "Oh no! Helena Bonham Carter's hair is catching!"
Possibly playing a past HM of Hogwarts.

FTW.
Why am I not surprised that Ken Russell directed Tommy ? I never card to find out who had, as it upset me so much (I think I was 10, and it was my first run-in with powerful negative cinema), but I swear. Anything Russell does just digs its fingers into into my alligator brain and clenches.
Sweeney Todd looks great, but the commercial is so low-budget seeming. The announcer is too loud and cheesy sounding, which makes the thing come off like a local ad. GF and I were kinda shocked.
I... blame you all for the fact that, in my head, the line in the commercial runs "the whole wide world is a Sarlacc Pit..."
I fear my brain.
it was my first run-in with powerful negative cinema
But but but.... Ann Margaret drenched in baked beans!!!1!
In the total OPPOSITE of negative cinema, I saw Enchanted yesterday. LOVED IT. Amy Adams is wonderful and the film has such affectionate snarky fun with all the Disney cliches that it's great for kids and adults. I am not a GA fan, but found Patrick Dempsey totally rrowr.

Not to mention Tina Turner writhing from the ankles up.
