Jonathan ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
I've only seen it once, but, no, they did not use that much blood, particularly not that much spurting blood.
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.
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.
Yeah, what Hil said - the blood in the stage version is usually either very theatrical (ribbons) or very contained (extra-thick corn syrup).

Tep, I'm pretty sure 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...
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.
huh. I wanna see the Hulk.

Speaking of which, P-cow, when do we get new episodes of Avatar and how many are left?
NO ONE KNOWS and 10.
Saw Juno today.
I cried and cried.
Aimee, I had the same reaction to Juno.
I saw Persepolis today. It surprisingly came back to our local theatre this week. I've never read the graphic novel, but I really enjoyed the film. It was beautiful in it's starkness and simplicity.
