So.
We saw “Sweeney Todd” today. Don’t worry. This isn’t a review.
So, yes. We saw “Sweeney Todd.”
All 10 minutes of it.
Until the projector malfunctioned or the newbie running the projector malfunctioned — repeatedly.
And we all left the theatre en masse with our hands out for refunds, moaning in collective despair things like how could this happen and this was the one movie I really wanted to see this year and “I will have vennnngeance” and stuff like that.
Oh, how could this BE!!??
“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit and it’s filled with projectors that are full of sh*t ….”
Still …… the ten minutes we saw? I am drooling. Cannot WAIT to go back and finish it.
I didn’t think it was possible for me to be more excited than I was before, but I AM!
“Sweeney ….. Sweeney …. Sweeney ….. SWEEEEE-NEEEEY!!!”
No!!!!!!!
POO! I’m mad for you! I’ll bet that just riuned your whole night, too! BAHHHH, HUMBUG!
We saw “Walk Hard” last night… I, uh, don’t think it can compare to “Sweeney Todd” for cinematic force, but… I laughed in spite of myself. It was a total guilty pleasure.
Or even “ruined”…
I hear tell that Sondheim himself approved all edits and etc so this is as definitive as this is gonna get. Hope you see it soon, in its entirety!
And Merry Christmas.
