Sweeney Todd: Broadway vs. Burton
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
I'm posting this at Scott's request, and I'll probably edit it if I think of any more differences. If you have not seen the film and are not familiar with the original Broadway production, I suggest you not read this because I don't give a fuck about spoiling things for you.
Harry Potter fans will recognize Alan Rickman (Snape) and Timothy Spall (Wormtail) together again in a movie. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter do not look old enough for their roles. The CG at the beginning was too obviously CG for my liking, and the blood looked like red paint, but I suppose that was Tim Burton thinking ahead. I can imagine the amount of blood would be a shock to someone who was not familiar with the musical. Hell, Sweeney Todd is one of my favorite musicals ever, I KNOW what to expect, and the first throat that was cut surprised me just because of how nonchalant he was about it. I didn't really care for Mrs. Lovett's costuming. She's a poor shop owner, not a goth whore (although they did give her nicer clothes in her fantasy "By the Sea")! They left out "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" which I can't fault them for since its purpose was for scene changes, although I was disappointed that it was not in the credits. They also cut parts of the Joanna/Antony story ("Ah, Miss", "Kiss Me" and "Kiss Me 2" were not performed). Turpin didn't beat himself in repentance ("Joanna 2"), but that's commonly left off Broadway, too. Antony was invited inside Turpin's house where he was beaten, but originally he had purchased a bird for Joanna and the beadle threatened him and broke the bird's neck. The beggar woman did not come around as often and had no contact with Todd until the end, whereas he meets her in the beginning on Broadway. She was also not depicted as a prostitute. On Broadway, she would proposition anyone while asking for alms. Pirelli is supposed to be Irish pretending to be Italian, but they portrayed him as English pretending to be Italian, and I don't recall any mention of pulling teeth during the contest ('cause barbers were also dentists back in the day, don'tchaknow). Normally "Joanna 3" comes after "God That's Good!" but it came after "A Little Priest" in the film, and everyone but Todd's part was cut out of it. The beggar woman's part of "Joanna 3" was moved to be part of "God That's Good!" Part of "A Little Priest" was cut out as well as part of "Not While I'm Around", and Toby didn't have his monologue at the end. Toby also found a toe, rather than a hair and a fingernail, in his pie. Minor detail, nobody refered to any money as quid (Originally Lovett says she probably could have gotten "five, maybe ten, quid for 'em any day" when she was showing Todd the razors she'd hidden, and Toby points out that "two quid was in it, two or three" when he spots Pirelli's purse in Lovett's hands).
I am now experiencing the negatives of having awesome Broadway shows turned into movies available to retards. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

T-Shirt Surgery
A few years ago my parents went on a cruise to Mexico and brought me home a t-shirt. I've never worn it because it was a men's large and it would eat me, but tonight I decided to risk fucking it up in hopes of making it fit. Now it's not only offensive, but it offends and remains adorable at the same time.
 Awww! I should add lace and maybe a ruffly bottom.

You seem to have trouble with reading comprehension
Current mood: aggravated
Or you just don't read at all and skip straight to the pics in hopes of tits. Either way, you're a fucking dipshit.
The first time this occurred, I was sparked to write this entry. At the time, my quoted profile text was normal sized. I then changed it to to fucking +2 font. There is no excuse to miss it now.
Tonight I received this: "I like ur pics? u r my type of girl, i just need to get to know u, would u be interested? David" This from someone whose profile says, "Kids: I love kids, I have full custody of my 11 year old daughter..."
If you had read my profile, you would clearly know that I AM NOT "ur" type of girl, nor would I ever be interested in someone nearly ten years older than I am. Also, LOL @ you like my pics QUESTION MARK.
I don't want kids. I also do not want your kids. It's there, PLAIN AS DAY, and it cannot get any simpler than that. If I do not know you, you have absolutely no reason to ever have the slightest glimmer of hope that you might be the exception to this rule.* If I do not know you, you can guaran-fuckin'-tee that I have absolutely NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in being your new baby mama. FUCK OFF.
*There is someone I have known FOR YEARS that had the chance to be this exception, and he fucked it right up. So yeah, someone I've known since high school vs. a total stranger means you have no chance. Now, GTFO my internets.

This girl is from my hometown. She speaks in a fake-british-accent BABY VOICE all the time. She also thinks that it's "improper" to have lolita meets at people's houses, and professional tea should only be attempted by professionals.
