Oh my God, I'm so stiff. I hardly drank anything at all last night--a tiny glass of Riesling, a Bacardi mixer in the same glass (hey, it's recycling!), a plastic cup of champagne, and then two or three cups of Coke, and a frozen Coke at the theater--over ten hours. I didn't have enough water to drink the whole day ("I know! I'll drink a Mountain

I left you a Crimbo gift on KoL. The Crimborg told me to.

"A Little Priest" was my favorite of hers, hands down. "By the Sea" got the biggest laughs in my theatre, too. Johnny's just... fantastic. :D

Beautiful and horrible are the two best words to describe the film. Overall, I loved it, too. :)

You know, I was a little put out at first, because the stage show had this darkly comic element that Burton completely eradicated, but I felt it worked just as well when it was grounded in tragedy and as a horror film, and that's just a testament to the strength of the story, really. Oh man, that ending shot, and alskjfa how cool were the opening credits? V., v. cool.

I don't think I had a problem with that one--I don't remember anything being particularly awkward off hand. This is why I want to go see it again, now that I'm at least a teensy bit familiar with the songs. At the time I was listening for plot, if that makes any sense--trying to hear the lyrics as they were going by so quickly.

RE: God That's Good

SO AWKWARD. One of my favourite songs in the show, but the whole point of that song is the chorus participation, in my opinion. The movie probably could've done without it.

It was a little glassy for me. I wanted to like it, but I didn't like it being ground in tragedy. The whole point of ST for me is to get lost in the delightful evil macabre, so that you almost forget what he's doing is wrong or even has a reason. It's madness in hilarious twisted form, and I felt like it was trying to hard to be a true tragedy with a bit of humor. And the scenes wer almost comic book like in the 'gore' and blood is not that red, it should have been darker. It dries RUST not BRIGHT RED.

/my reaction, a bit teal deer.

Your icon is made of win.

[unexpectedgift]

I concur. Of course, yours isn't so bad either :D

Oh God, AMEN.

This was EXACTLY my problem with the story. (I wrote out a review, actually, and it all hit around this topic). I was told I'd end up cheering for the main characters, completely forgetting that they were killing people and feeding them to others, but I never could, because Burton wouldn't let me. He kept reminding me by giving me showers of blood and horrified looks on the victim's faces and the horrific scenes of them smashing to the floor of the cellar.
