    The other day someone here suggested that Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd was the worst film they’d ever seen. How lucky, I thought, to lead such a sheltered life.

    Back when it was in theaters, a friend and I went to see the Sweeney Todd movie with Johnny Depp. I don't think I'm spoiling anything by revealing that there's a lot of blood. It got an R rating for a reason. At the booth, the ticket seller decided he needed to warn us about... the singing.

    Also, for a non-theater person, Sweeney Todd is a deep cut. ST the movie came out in 2007, wasn’t on Broadway again til 2023, & he knows the plot? But not Les Mis, when every high school talent show from 1995-2007 featured at least 3 girls screeching out Castle In the Sky or On My Own? Sure Jan.

    Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme kicked a woman and his ex-wife alleged domestic abuse. Why the cosy makeover?. I’ll bite: how about the fact that frontman Josh Homme’s ex-wife Brody Dalle testified in court that he head-butted her so hard that she “saw stars” and said he had fantasised about killing her? Or that he kicked a female photographer in the face? It’s certainly not what anyone’s talking about as part of Homme’s friendly neighbourhood rock star image rehabilitation: duetting on…

    Continuing my journey through Tim Burton's Filmography: Sweeney Todd - it's pretty good! Depp is a bit flat, but other performances are great. Alice in Wonderland - Abysmal. Possibly the ugliest movie ever made. I have no idea what Depp is supposed to be doing. Hated watching this.

    That reminds me of one of my all-time favorite movie theater moments. So, Sweeney Todd. No one was aware that it was a musical as it wasn't made clear in the promo material. Anywho, a buncha high schoolers came in late and sat down in unison. The movie got musical. They wordlessly left in unison.

    Tim Burton (1) really only directs dark movies (tonally, not luminously), and (2) went through a phase where everything he did either involved the actress Helena Bonham Carter (including his marriage, for a while) or the actor Johnny Depp (to whom he was not married), or both. The question for this Jeopardy answer could equally be any of five things: - What is *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*?

    Revisited Burton’s SWEENEY TODD, which achieves something rare: it’s a film musical that’s genuinely frightening. The damn thing is as pared-down as an adaptation could be, maniacal in focus. Speeds and fumes like a train powered by spite and rage. Belongs in his top 3 alongside ED WOOD and PEE WEE.
