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.
Didn't SMG just star in a movie with the same basic plot conceit as Possession?
the one sumi linked to stars SMG.
Yes, hence my point.
Oh I get it, same plot, different title. I must have missed the first flick.
Oh, I thought it was another adaptation of the A.S. Byatt novel.
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.
Um, yeah. It's still a musical w/ very little spoken dialogue, but it's far from the entire stage show.
(In order to make it less stagey, they cut the chorus out entirely, so there's an instrumental overture & some nice gory animated opening credits where "Ballad of Sweeney Todd" would normally go. It gets the same point across, but sans words.)
This is just so weird to me because, for fuck's sake, it's SWEENEY TODD. It's so odd to think about someone not knowing it's a musical.
Also, have those people look at any trailer for any foreign film.
They are all "bait and switch" since most of them show no dialogue at all and the stirring music generally implies they are all Sturm und Drang action films.
Tim Burton to direct Alice in Wonderland Tim Burton to direct Alice in Wonderland: [link]
Dear Tim Burton,
Johnny Depp is much too old and too brunette to play Alice. And so is Helena, for that matter. Expand your casting.
All my love and a comb,
Aimee
Tim Burton has to scouting for his next muse. There was Winona Rider, Christina Ricci and then HBC--besides JD, of course.
