'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Some people walked out of the screening of Sweeney Todd that I saw. I can imagine doing that if I had a blood squick regardless of the expectations I had for the theme of the movie.
eta except that I've never walked out of a movie so I can't really imagine what would prompt me to do it for the first time.
My sister went to see it because she'll try anything with Depp in it, even though she hates plays and musicals. I can see the Depposity not being enough in the end for people willing to give it a shot.
It's way less gross than The Libertine.
That said, I hope they do a BIG LEBOWSKI/O BROTHER style fun movie next.
The next film they have listed on IMDb is called "Burn After Reading," and stars Clooney and Pitt, and seems to be a comedy.

The blood hadn't even really started yet. Except for that in the credits (which I loved loved loved).
I also thought of Jilli during the beach fantasy.

True that.
Wait, does that mean the Gris is really Pete?
Well, I've never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time...
I guess she thought it would be a feel good movie about murder and cannibalism.

Oh, people. Why are you so silly?

Right. I read that somewhere, but forgot about it (maybe a Clooney interview) and it is a comedy. I just hope it's more of a BIG LEBOWSKI comedy rather than a LADYKILLERS (or even INTOLERABLE CRUELTY) comedy.
The kids want me to take them to see Alvin and the Chipmunks this afternoon. I'm scared.

Well, like I said, I knew it wasn't going to be a feel-good movie but was rather shocked by how bleak and very sad it was. I thought it would be more darkly comedic.
My sister laughed out loud through much of it.
