I was thinking the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts were one and the same. Clearly I'm due for a re-read.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
MM, isn't that HO. HO. HO.?
(I love that book.)

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
You've never seen this guy in actionCorwood, I've seen that movie and it is made of hilarity.

We went to a preview screening of Sweeney Todd last night. I'm not sure what sort of audience goes to previews, whether the theater was mostly people familiar with musicals, or the Deppaholics. Either way, the audience was delighted, loudly.
I tend to avoid slasher movies myself, and the amount of fake blood onscreen was... impressive. But it was a great deal of fun. Sitting next to me was a fan of the adaptation with Angela Lansbury; her only complaint was the missing opening song. (I wasn't fond of HBC's singing, but she didn't seem to mind.)

One of my favorites. And the movie is surprisingly true to it.
Part 1 was last night. Part 2 is tonight, so I will be commandeering the TeeVee from 9 - 11.

Hee. It's so weird, because I saw it last year when it aired in the U.K. It's one of my favorite Discworld books too, MM.
I'm seeing Sweeney tomorrow!

Wait... what? There's a Hogfather movie?
