In which she just wants to die...
It's hard for me to say this, coming from over 20 years of Burton loving, but seriously, with the exception of Rickman, WORST. CAST. EVAR.
A few notes:
1., Can Rickman even sing?
2., Helena Bonham Carter needs to die. I admit, I liked her in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but that was it. First she ruins Burton for me, then Arthurian legend, after which she took a gun to the head of Planet of the Apes (I don't blame Burton for that; he was brain-washed), took an otherwise decent piece of Ewan McGregor drool-fodder and crapped all over it, made me hate Whoever-the-fuck-it-is-this-time and the Chocolate Factory, made Wallace & Gromit a whore of a kids movie, is probably gonna completely make it so that I can never so much as think of Harry Potter again, and now is not only gonna kill one of my favorite musicals ever, but in doing so kill one of my favorite characters? I hate the fuckin' ho.
3., Fuckin' Borat as Pirelli? You gotta be shittin' me.
4., Don't get me wrong, I like Johnny D. But he is not Sweeney. Not at all.
5., "I'm a casting director, look at me! Here's another movie for Timothy Spall to take a dump all over! Wee!"
6., Again, I do like Anthony Head. But I can't picture him as anything other than Turpin or the Beadle.
