Yeah, the original provided much funnier opportunities to peek inside Miller's head and make fun of him. Plus, y'know, it gave us It's Raining Men and Vogue.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Oh dear. I haven't seen the It's Raining Men one. I'll have to check that out later, but I can see that as even funnier than Vogue (which totally made me lose it).

Saw Sweeny Todd. Liked it a lot but am still washing the blood out of everything. More later.
Oh, one question for those who know the original - does it leave Anthony and Joanne high and dry like this does? I mean, we know they both survive, but that's about it. I could TOTALLY see Sondheim doing that, but I thought I'd ask. And I do know their's were the songs that got seriously cut, from other comments I read.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
IIRC, we get a bit more for them. Not a hugely lot more: the ending's not about them in the stage version, either, but a bit more.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
At the end of the stage show, Anthony and Joanna rush into the bakehouse with the police that Joanna's gone to get. They find Toby crouching over Todd's body.

Just in from There Will Be Blood tonight. Man, that was fucked up. I'm a little overwhelmed for deeper reading at present.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Sky High. I don't think it did well at the box office or became very popular, but it's a lot of fun! Very enjoyable, and it pretty much delivers what it promises. Plus, a cute redhead.

I've a great fondness for Sky High because it pushes all my teenage superhero buttons. Also, I can't resist a heroic were-guinea pig.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I like Sky High because it was made by the same people who did Kim Possible. I didn't like the actor who played the villain, but other than that the cast was great across the board.
