Sweeney Todd



Quick sammary:

Very good.
Also, pants tight enough to remind you of Labrynth.
I still feel awful.

To add to what's on the voice post, it plays up the blood and down the perversion, mostly.

I have to say, David Bowie's 'Labyrinth' pants defined my youth.

Have you ever played the drinking game "David Bowie's Area"?

Don't. You'll likely die of alcohol poisoning.

No, do tell!

I have the alcohol tolerance of a 5-year-old as it is so I risk death every New Year's whe I have a hard lemonade.

1. Put on Labyrinth.
2. Take a drink every time David's package is visible onscreen.
3. Profit!

Oh dear. I wouldn't make it through the first twenty minutes.

Not surprising. If he'd done it the other way around it'd have been NC-17, no doubt. (Ah, the cognitive mismatch in the US between how "bad" sex is vs. violence.)

I'm not much for gore, myself. Am I going to be shielding my eyes and missing plenty of pretty Johnny because of it, or something?
