I went out yesterday with a group of friends to see Sweeney Todd. First, we caught dinner at a place not too far from the theater. Japanese buffet - the food was so good! (I think I may have eaten too much ^^;). Some kids ill-behaved enough to make almost any woman child-free almost ruined it. Then they left, so we started having fun again. :)

We didn't have to deal with a mob at the theater because we went to a later showing. The movie was excellent. I can't even say how fun this film was. Even if you're not a fan of musicals, you should see this movie. The actors sang pretty well (I didn't realize that Depp could sing as well as he did, to be honest), and the story was great. Some parts poignant, others morbidly funny. Burton & everyone else did a great job with this film. And Rickman was as awesome as expected. His pants seemed a little... snug in certain areas to me (I guess I'm a perv to have noticed). And Sasha Cohen was definitely wearing some sort of padding down there in that tight-ass blue number he was wearing.  

I might go back to see it again. It really caught the spirit of the Broadway play, but you could feel the 'Burton' in it. I should warn the squeamish that there is graphic bloodletting. He is cutting throats after all. I tend not to mind that sort of thing, though.

I did get some funny looks from fellow theater goers with a little (inappropriate, perhaps?) laughter at certain parts.
