Sweeney

Posted by Outlaw88 - January 23rd, 2008


Just saw Sweeney Tod last night and I have to say I was impressed. It looked great, very creepy and dark and the music fit in very well with the story and didn't feel forced in any way. Depp really pulled off the look and sound.

Very graphic too as Burton doesn't hold back on the blood and gore as Tod slices throats while Mrs. Lovett makes the victums into pies and serves them to unwitting customers. Their song about the tastes of people is hilarious in a evil kind of way.

I've never seen the play so this movie adaptation is my first exposure to the story and everything. I really enjoyed it, and after seeing the movie I would love to see it performed live.

One of the erriest songs has to be when they are looking for the boy while Lovett sings "Not While I'm around" all while Tod's got his razor out and ready to use.

If you haven't seen the movie and can handle musicals I highly suggest you go and see it.

I have acquiered not one, but TWO foam fingers from TMBG concerts!

How you like me now, bitch?

Thats cool and all but what does that have to do with Sweeney Tod?

The drummer gave me one of his sticks and even signed it for me at the TMBG show I went to a few weeks ago. It was awesome.

um yeah I dont think so. I am going to step up 2.

Huh?
