Gaston was ruined for me because I worked at a children's theatre summer camp, and the theme was multiculturalism. The director had them sing a song she had written to the tune of Gaston
Holy shit, that is bad. It makes my head hurt!

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The Sweeney movie was okay but the music was not the strong point.

Because books.
they messed with the original fairy tale to such an extent that many of the original themes were lost.
I kind of assume Disney will do that with every movie, though.

Yeah.
Well, assuming Disney pushes forward with it, I guess we'll see.

Whoooo. I want Pfeiffer's necklace, and Depp's entire outfit.

Fair enough. But I'm with Amy in that I assume Disney will do that to any movie they base off of a fairy tale.
The Sweeney movie was okay but the music was not the strong point.
No, the music was not the strong point. But oh! The visuals. I need all of Mrs. Lovette's wardrobe.

The Sweeney music grew on me with second and third watchings, even though I still find it hard to understand most of what HBC is singing. I just love the visuals. It's so perfectly gloomy and Victorian and gritty and lush.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I had never heard the music to Sweeney Todd before the movie, so I didn't have any expectations for it. However, I loved the film. It was so visually stunning.
