nice by Uridium	Sep 6th, 2007 02:34:26 AM
Sounds like an awsome experience. Dispite my deep seeted hatred of musicals, I am looking forward to Sweeny Todd.
So, third row center..... by Aloy	Sep 6th, 2007 02:37:27 AM
Must be the neanderthal dude right?

I doubt Burton will ever do it,I wish Lynch would do it though.A Direct adaptation of the novel from burton would be great,but lynch's would be a masterpiece.Neil Jordan might do the book justice too.Man i just really want to see Olympia in the flesh.
Awesome Mastidon by Bobo_Vision	Sep 6th, 2007 03:08:28 AM
Great coverage. Are you gonna send in a review of Darjeeling Express?
These Are My Friends by Skinny White Lad	Sep 6th, 2007 03:53:40 AM
See how they glisten... Lyrics from the musical version the movie is based off of can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/34acu You shall drip rubies...
Definitely not the world premiere by stomm	Sep 6th, 2007 04:09:48 AM
Along with the person's view in October, i watched it last year in December (day of my birthday yeahh!) at the IMAX in Manchester. Felt a bit sick afterwards to be honest, the 3d effect can knock you off a bit. But it was well worth it, and i never noticed that Zero has a pumpkin for a nose before lol. Very much looking forward to this movie though and also Dark Knight in 3D!!!
That fucker can sing too!!??? by IndustryKiller!	Sep 6th, 2007 04:19:44 AM
Is there ANYTHING Depp can't do?
I know that movie by heart by s0nicdeathmonkey	Sep 6th, 2007 04:20:16 AM
Honestly. I got it for my 6th birthday on VHS and watched it every day for years. The Nightmare Before Christmas was THE movie for me that made me what to make films.
Three Cheers for MASTIDON by skintandminted	Sep 6th, 2007 04:31:15 AM
Great work dude!! Awesome coverage!! I echo Bobo_Vision.. Did you catch the Darjeeling Express? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Here's the song that he sang by SmellyO	Sep 6th, 2007 04:33:49 AM
"My Friends" http://tinyurl.com/2kpehw Here's Sweeney Todd played by George Hearn with Angela Lansbury as Lovett

the song
I saw "Sweeney Todd" years ago... by Rei-Ginsei	Sep 6th, 2007 05:43:37 AM
Despite the fact that it's a musical, I found it extremely twisted - in a good way. Actually, I think the fact that it's a musical makes it even more twisted. (Spoiler) I mean, how many other musicals involve turning people into meat pies? (/Spoiler)
Mmmmmm People Pie by Yeti	Sep 6th, 2007 05:55:31 AM
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
Darjeeling by mastidon	Sep 6th, 2007 07:15:57 AM
Hey guys, I wrote a review of it but it never made it online. Must have got lost in the email universe. I'll resend and see what they do with it.
SmellyO by mastidon	Sep 6th, 2007 07:25:19 AM
That's the song! Thanks! Been trying to remember the lyrics but was too much in awe to do so. Depp was f**king amazing.
How did that lemur get on top of Tim Burton's head? by Pound Sand	Sep 6th, 2007 08:07:25 AM
Don't they have security?
It's nice that he moves his lips in sync... by Stalin vs Predator	Sep 6th, 2007 08:22:04 AM
...to someone's voice played back. Hey, if Iglesias's son can do that... By the way, did this guy actually describe his "adventures" in getting to this premiere? Because I skipped this section as soon as it seems to have started. Did it continue until the end or did it return to the film at some point?
When the hell by Purgatori	Sep 6th, 2007 08:43:49 AM
are we going to get the freaking trailer for this??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! !
Nightmare Before Christmas = sheer excellence by performingmonkey	Sep 6th, 2007 09:35:26 AM
The songs do NOT suck. Maybe Danny Elfman's finest moment.
depp looks like colonel sanders..... by kingoflight	Sep 6th, 2007 09:55:16 AM
Anyone else heard a rumor that after sweeny todd burton may be making grim fandango the movie ? ? ?
great report, Mastidon by CherryValance	Sep 6th, 2007 10:46:32 AM
I love it when lucky things happen like that. And I'm very happy to hear that Johnny's voice is so good. I was worried. Just from the description of that clip the movie sounds more Tim Burton-ish than Sweeney Todd-ish, but we'll see. That could be a good thing but you never know. The show itself is great so too much tweaking could backfire. But this report is encouraging.
Thank God Burton didn't get Superman by liljuniorbrown	Sep 6th, 2007 11:33:58 AM
Although I like Nic Cage and would like to have seen his take on it, and if Burton would have put Depp in a villan role it would have been interesting. Ever since his role in Once Upon atime in Mexico I have found that Depp seems to be getting better with age. I loved him in Donnie Brascoe and Blow and wish him nothing but luck with the musical. I hate musical and wil never watch it, but i'm sure it will be great.
I am so stoked! by Bob G.	Sep 6th, 2007 11:49:31 AM
His real name is "Benjamin Barker," and the line is "My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?" Angela Lansbury goofs up in the taped version (now on DVD) and says "Them BLADES is chased silver, ain't they?" Thanks for the report.
ricarleite and Pound by skimn	Sep 6th, 2007 01:18:22 PM
When did Tim Burton ever look good? He's always looked like he just got up after falling out of bed, fighting a mongoose.
That's no MONGOOSE! That's Helena Bonham Carter! by finky089	Sep 6th, 2007 02:15:41 PM
zing!
Wow...that sounds completely... by ninpobugei	Sep 6th, 2007 02:21:51 PM
and utterly...HORRIBLE! A thriller/cheeseball musical?!?! Uh, that would be a "no". Not even as a rental!
ninpobugei- Sweeny Todd is a classic by Lovecraftfan	Sep 6th, 2007 02:39:28 PM
One of the best musicals ever.
Sweeny Todd proved by Purgatori	Sep 6th, 2007 04:00:03 PM
that musicals could have horror and blood in them, and still be considered broadway material. If it hadn't been for that you probably wouldn't have gotten Phantom of the Opera or Jekyll and Hyde quite as easily. God I can't wait.
Enough with Depp and Burton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! by crackerfarmboy	Sep 6th, 2007 04:30:55 PM
Seriously you two, get a room!
Sweeny Todd is serious musical, and it's the greatest! by Midol Boy	Sep 6th, 2007 06:51:41 PM
You idiot, ninpobuttfucker!
Love Burton. Love Depp. Love them together... by Osmosis Jones	Sep 6th, 2007 10:00:55 PM
...but hate live-action musicals. I'm severely torn.
