I think in both cases it's not so much required by contract as something they'd be doing anyway.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've only seen it once, but, no, they did not use that much blood, particularly not that much spurting blood.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, Ewan likes to get his cock out.

The blood didn't bother me; I mean, demon barber, slits throats, lots of blood. But I just couldn't help watching it from the viewpoint of "Hey, this was a stage production before it was a film, and they have to change sets quickly."
Now I want to see the stage production, so I can see the songs that were left out of the movie.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The production that I've seen (well, I also saw the one that was on Broadway a few years ago, but that one was just weird), I think they had some kind of balloon filled with fake blood under the person's collar, and it would drip down their shirt, but not really onto other stuff, except sometimes a little bit on the chair.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, what Hil said - the blood in the stage version is usually either very theatrical (ribbons) or very contained (extra-thick corn syrup).

And the LINES that were left out of the songs that DID make it into the movie grumblegrumblegrumble
Tep, I'm pretty sure Netflix has the Angela Landsbury/George Hearn version on DVD.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Netflix has the Angela Landsbury/George Hearn version on DVD.
I finally returned it! If they don't have it, it's someone else's fault...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My eleven-year-old cousin thinks Sweeney Todd is the best movie he's ever seen. I think it was the first time he'd seen something, especially a musical, that didn't have a traditional Happy Ending.
Actually, it must be musical-specific, because the kid watches Avatar. He knows all about not having the traditional Happy Ending.
