mmm meatpies.

Im super excited about this movie. I love helena bonnam carter and johnny depp, and sweeney todd is a really interested true-ish story.
The place where the barbershop was, in london, is really creepy.

i cant wait. Does anyone know… is this supposed to be a musical?

I blame Johnny Depp. He used to choose some really great, and quirky, roles. "Ed Wood," "Dead Man," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," he was great in all those. And then came the POTC crap. Now every "tweeny" and teenage girl is in love with him, which, unfortunately, makes that his target audience now. This is what he rebelled against after "21 Jump Street." What a disappointing sell-out he became.

He has always sort of traversed both worlds. He does things that are more commercial (to make dough, one would presume), and then he does the more offbeat, "quirky" stuff too.

And good Lord, I've been in live with him since I was a teenage girl myself, so I can hardly blame anybody else for being transfixed by the lovely Mr. Depp.

ahhh Depp. I thought he was funny in POTC, but I only saw the first one.

Pirate or not, commerical or not, he is HOT.

I just find it a little disturbing that 11 year-old girls find him "sexy." He's 44. You know some of those girls have fathers younger than Johnny Depp.

He looks farking fantastic for 44 though. I swear, he is ageless! If they ever re-re-remake Dorian Grey, he should be in it. He is one of the few celebs that both my sister and I (she is 17) think is hot.

I hope they don't tone it down. I really, really, really hope. I guess whomever greenlighted it was all, "this is based on something old and people were so conservative/chaste/godly back then, that it is bound to get a PG rating!" Farking idiots.

When I was 6 to about 13, I had a MASSIVE crush on Rick Springfield, who in 1980 was already about 31 if I remember correctly. At that age, I didn't know what "sexy" was, but I knew he was a cute boy that I would never have to meet in person and so it's safe at that age.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

god i hope they don't make this PG-13…kids don't need to see movies about killers anyways.

When I was 13, my crushes were Steven Tyler, Sean Connery, Patrick Stewart, and Harrison Ford.

In the intervening years, the first 2 have had to come off the list due to 1) starting to look really, really old and 2) fucked-up personalities.

Well, after my Rick Springfield crush, when I turned 13, I went straight for Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Sebastian Bach, etc.

I still love Patrick Stewart. He is dating some young chickie around my age, so I still feel like there is a chance for me. Also, Alan Rickman. Love that man in a non-platonic way.

Johnny Depp probably DOES keep a portait of himself in his attic. God bless him for it. ;)

Ohhh Evil Twin, you are truly my twin. I almost wrote a fan letter to him once. My laziness kept me from licking the stamp and putting it in the mailbox.

He was here recently at a local concert. I had to miss it but I wanted to go so badly. Ambrosia opened up for him, AMBROSIA. Take that Van Halen.

I digress. This is a movie about a man who made meat pies out of other people. Meat pies are made from PEOPLE. Literally. What do they want, flowers and puppies?

I hope they keep going business as usual and get an R rating for it. Why in the hell should 10 year old's be in a movie theatre watching a show about this dude anyways? God, I hate it when parents take thier kids to innapropriate movies. Remember when The Exorcist was released for the 25th anniversary? Why did I have to sit in front of some chick with her two year old who cried the whole time?

Soylent Green, anyone?

There IS a disturbance resurgence of Soylent Green around here lately, no?

*disturbing

soylent green is what non-vegaterian beans is made of apparently…now i have to buy the gay vergaterian style.

If we were all on an island an I died, no, let me think about it. I'm not sure I want you guys to eat me. You'll just say I taste like chicken.

i would never say that you taste like chicken juju…. ;)

…becuase you taste like pork.

"Johnny is a friend. Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine. But lately something's changed and it ain't hard to define…Johnny's got the same old hair and he says the same old lines."

It was too easy. Am I the only one who's tired of this dude playing the same off-kilter lovable criminal?

Sar: no. It is as close as I will ever be to living with him.

You guys had very mature and respectable crushes as youngins…unfortunately mine were Joey McIntyre, Doogie Howser's best friend, and Christian Slater…sure I've blocked out a few from memory.

Somewhat redeem myself with the River Phoenix obsession…

BeA– AAUUGH! MAX CASELLA! Me too!!

LOVED him, such a smartass

ok. so i still cry at the end of standby me becuase when "chris" dissappears, he really dissapears becuase he died…

sar, I loved the Jessie's girl ref, but alas, I can somehow never seem to tired of Mr. Depp. Even when he dresses like Michael Jackson in a purple wig, I still want him.

Oh man, you've done it now BeA. You brought up River. I must go now and weep. Remember him in explorers? That was a pretty good flick. I was pretty young so maybe it's not but I choose to remember it as good.

Ohhhh, what about Sneakers or My Own Private Idaho? Siiiggghhh. My sons middle name is River. I wanted it to be his first but then my husband said everyone would think we are hippies? Yes, becuase hippies all love the Gap and Banana Republic khaki pants.

Gordie: Do you think I'm weird?
Chris: Definitely.
Gordie: No man, seriously. Am I weird?
Chris: Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird.

The Writer: [typing on computer] I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Nooooo, no they don't. That movie was greatness people. Just perfect. When Keifer was still a badass and Bill. And John Cusak was in that move. Oh man and Corey was still a single Corey. Let's all watch that tonight.

WTFIT???? I have no idea who Bill is but I guess I got excited and put him in the movie.

I was thinking, who the hell is Bill? :)

I saw a new family moving into my old best friend's house today. We were tight when we were 12. We had a club, BFFSI. That's best Friends Forever Secret Investigators. AAhahahaha…. damn. The ridiculous shit we did together.

Shout out to juju for naming her son River. You should name the next one Viper Mystery.

Juju- Maybe you meant Will (Wheaton)? Was he a badass or just a cutie pie though? And yes Cusack greatness/cuteness in that movie…

Oh no,Keifer was the bad ass. Will Wheaton was, well, Will Wheaton.

Viper would be a kick ass name for a kid if we live in the outback or someplace like that. In the suburbs it would probably get him beaten up.

LOL Sar. You just reminded me of when I was 12. My friends and I started a band. Only one of us played an instrument and it was the flute. Did I mention we wanted to be a rock band? It's not as good as the cowbell but it's all we had.

We broke up becuase one of the members got a boyfriend and got all slutty on us. It's supposed to be about the music bitch.

What a tramp…we wanted to be En Vogue divas, we even did a little dance for the 5th grade "talent" show.

Juju, that bitch. Violins before Friends!

Sar, it was a flute. You do not want the band geeks mad at you. A flute up the ass is not a good thing.

Aren't school talent shows fun? It kind of takes the sadness out of school lunches where that musical number you wish would suddenly happen, never does.

I watched Fame too much. Hot lunch.

My school was small so it ended up just being about the cheerleaders either doing shitty ballet to Sister Christian or singing some song from Wilson Phillips.

We had one freaky guy, who although he ate the liver out of the frog he disected in Bio, could play a mean violin.

I had a band too, we had those guitars that were really necks with buttons that played noise and no music whatsoever. We wanted to be the Go-Go's.
