Wow, Sweeney Todd is a miserable fucking bastard. I mean, I get he's sour about the whole deported-to-Australia, not-actually-dead-wife and yeah-actually-stolen-baby thing, but at a certain point, a tragic backstory and the fact that he's Johnny Depp in period clothing isn't enough to prevent me rolling my eyes at his endless bloody sulking. Jeez. Get over it already.

Sleepy Hollow is still lovely though. Has anyone seen the TV show they're basing off it yet? That sounds like it will also be lovely, though probably less lovely than 90 minutes of Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp staring at each other was.

I don't really know what the point of this post was. Probably that I need pictures of Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci looking at each other.

Oh god, that show. It is so over the top, it's hard for me not to find it enjoyable.

Re: Sweeney Todd, it is also enjoyable for being ridiculous. I love the music, and Mrs Lovett, who is basically Harley Quinn except a terrible cook instead of a psychiatrist.

I'm definately gonna check this out!

I love that bit after Epiphany where Sweeney has this huge melodramatic "gonna kill ALL the dudes!" moment... and Mrs Lovett totally ruins it by being all "yeah whatever." I howled during that bit in the film. She was so unimpressed!
