Cordelia ,'Beneath You'
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.
Lazare observes that although the movie employs the entire Stephen Sondheim score from the stage production
O RLY? That should be news to the Sondheim fans who've been tracking what's been cut. Such as "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," the opening/closing number.
Dana, I've heard they still use the score, but they cut the actual song as a framing device.
"makes the movie seem like a fast-paced bloody period thriller/horror flick."
So... it's not? The "fast-paced," I could maybe see, but I have a feeling it still fulfills "bloody," "period," and "thriller/horror."
I mean, it's not Mamma Mia, people.
I still can't believe they cut The Ballad of Sweeney Todd! It's just---wrong.
That's as silly as the notion that they called it "The Madness of King George" so nobody would skip "George III" on account of missing "George" and "George II".

Sophia Coppola sucked in "George II".
Didn't SMG just star in a movie with the same basic plot conceit as Possession? Also from Ghost House Films, if I'm not mistaken?
I got HP&tOotP on the day it came out. Thank-you Netflix! I'm watching the twins' show right now AIFG!
