One of the funniest things I ever heard on television:
"We now return to Dune, starring Sting."
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of Victor Garber, also on my stack o' stuff to buy on Sunday is the DVD of Godspell, with an extremely young Garber as Jesus (also with Lynne Thigpen, the only other "name" in the cast). I have it on tape but am trying to replace most of my tapes with discs instead.

I do the hand-wavey "it was the '70s" excuse for that hair don't.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sacha Baron-Cohen is a genius. Given how he disappears into his comedy characters, I am not surprised he's getting good notices here.

"We now return to Dune, starring Sting."
Bah! That is, I confess, what drew me to David Lynch's fever dream in the first place. I hadn't read Dune yet, I don't think and the film really spoiled me for it for a long time.
I do, however, have an unwholesome love for the two tv miniseries...which probably means I'm a blasphemer or something.
I have two Dune audiobooks on deck...looking forward to them as well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
the staged production starring George Hearn and Angela Lansbury
I own that! On VHS. I should get the DVD, no? Sweeney and Forum are the only Sondheims I like, but I adore them to pieces. I was very sad that I couldn't go to the revival at A.C.T.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
We'll def see Sweeney Todd but my expectations were already kind of low. We saw the recent Broadway play and enjoyed it, but went in with crazy high expectations so we were somewhat disappointed. HBC is way way too young for that part.

I don't know the show that well, but I watched a lot on YouTube before heading to a recent production. I can't imagine hating anyone as much as I hated Patti Lupone in that role.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw the original production twice, once with Hearn and once with Len Cariou. Hearn was scarier and Cariou more tragic, but both were great. And Lansbury was AMAZING.
