"The cruelties of men are as wondrous as Peru..."

Work is crazy. I can't wait for the holidays to be over.

Oh, and Bill O'Reilly has a vendetta against Barnes & Noble, because he claims we are the "#1 retailer in the War Against Christmas". *rolls eyes* Get a life, dude.

Jason and I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets tonight, which was quite fun. It wasn't as awesome as the first one, but ( Read more... )

Thankfully, I haven't gotten any of these crazies coming up to me and bitching. Besides, it's so busy right now that I don't think they have time to stop me long enough to do it.

Let me know what you think after you see it. There are a few people (including Scotty P) who want me to see it again with them. I'm not sure I can; I might explode.

I'm going to see that movie this afternoon!! I can't wait!

Let me know what you think. My friend Jason was just a spazmatic as I, but I'm wondering what other people thought, too.

I just got back from it....and let me say, I was pleasantly surprised and disgusted. I really want to buy the soundtrack. I'm not sure how exactly I feel about the movie. I had a hard time because I really felt bad for Sweeney!!

It was magnificently done- not that I expected anything other than that from Tim Burton.

Well, you do carry that Mystic Compass book, and everyone knows that reading that will make you into an athiest-terrorist-murderer-child killer. Duh.

As for Sweeny; wow. I had no idea it was supposed to be like that; i figured it would be a bit dark, but overall light and musical-ish. Now i have to see it sooner :)

LOL. But His Dark Materials is so made of awesome! Fie O'Reilly! Fie! A pox be upon him.

See, the play was more campy, but not Python-esque, so I just thought it was really, really weird. The tone was different. It was still dark, but this film was so much more. Granted, there were a lot of funny bits (especially with Sascha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter earlier in the film), but the ending just destroyed me.

You watched it without us!!!!! NOOOOOOOO

You're suprised I didn't wait for anyone or anything to see a Johnny Depp movie? Specifically a Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration. In which Johnny Depp sings.

You do know me, right? ;)

Yes, obviously - but will you still attend the double feature?

mangoprophetess December 25 2007, 03:05:15 UTC

Which? National Treasure & Sweeney Todd? Because I've already seen both...

If we go to matinees, you might convince me to see them again. But I don't want to pay $10 to see movies I've already seen again.
