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.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

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.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
DH was surprised that he liked it, since he's a fan of the book.
Jess, I'm curious, does it adhere to the way the book ended in any way? Because that would intrigue me enough to see the movie (you can post in the spoiler thread if need be).
