THE CORNER


Me	For not realising the new Sweeny Tood movie was a musical. Walked out after about 3 minutes 42 seconds of Helena Bonham Carter making pies and Johnny Depp declaring his love for a razor via the medium of song.

		bumspinach on Wed 30 January 2008 said... Well yeah it's easy to miss ALL of the reviews and copy in the magazines and papers about it. Actually it was fucking stunning, you should have given it some time.
		Happyfinish on Wed 30 January 2008 said... I didn't know it was a musical either, not that I had any intention of watching it.
		JockCousteau on Thu 31 January 2008 said... No one can deny that you have cuntlike tendencies. Pay more attention next time, ya fanny. Anyway. It's a fantastic film, singing or not.
		kwebb on Thu 31 January 2008 said... You should have toughed it out for 10 minutes. I previously couldn't stand musicals but I absolutely loved it - even if he did sound like Bowie impersonating Anthony Newley as Kermode pointed out. Really enjoyed him - and Bonham Carter. Best work since Fight Club for my money with regard to Mrs Burton. Rickman singing - which is Rickman talking basically is worth a look and Tim Spall is annoyingly brilliant as ever,(excluding Pierrepoint which finished about 30 minutes too early and stank of - we ran out of money - I wrote the script in morning register and handed it in as homework at school - a la - "I woke up - and it was all a dream. FIN") Hard to believe perhaps - but for me I really think you missed out here.
		LuciferSam on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Is it singing THROUGHOUT, or with some TALKING??
		kwebb on Thu 31 January 2008 said... 70/30 talking - singing I'd estimate.
		Geushky on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Still don't like those odds - too rich for my blood; I'm out...
		kwebb on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Fold
		sphynxster on Thu 31 January 2008 said... "best work since Fight Club"...... Thanks for that Barry Norman.
		kwebb on Thu 31 January 2008 said... "And - why not"
		Kermit on Thu 31 January 2008 said... and who says that HM wasn't highly informative eh? Depp singing? I love the guy but no chance... I didn't know either. And it's not for me being short of spending hours sat on the loo seat reading film reviews.How could I miss that one? Moi is a cunt too.
		squealer on Thu 31 January 2008 said... The makers of the film know they fucked up making a musical so they are trying to sell it as a horror flick. No need for anyone to feel a cunt here.
		chavi on Thu 31 January 2008 said... i managed 30mins before leaving, most of that time was wondering what to do while waiting for my mates to get out.
		Clerk on Thu 31 January 2008 said... i didn't realise it was a musical either! at first i was delighted when the music kicked in, but this feeling soon faded when it became clear tim burton forgot to hire anyone who could sing. bar rickman who is brilliant at whatever he does
		Barbersmith on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Sondheim musicals are a load of fucking wank liked by people who hink they're too clever to enjoy proper musicals.
		Barbersmith on Thu 31 January 2008 said... THINK. Fuck fuck fuck.
		MrsMoon on Thu 31 January 2008 said... How opened minded to the creative arts you are, leaving so soon, it's a fucking film anyway, its fantasy, whats the fucking difference if they sing, it is not reality, stick to fucking docusoaps...and they are not selling it as a horror flick, this musical has been in existance for years, similar content and the subject matter is the same...Sondheim is the only genius in musical theatre...i say that and i hate musicals as a rule, but his are clever, dark and intelligent...christ, isn't Stephen Sondheim's name on all the posters? How could you not know? Some people are fucking stooopid!
		MrsMoon on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Barbersmith...thats because they are proper musicals, not that Andrew Lloyd Webber plagiarized shite.
		Barbersmith on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Mrs Moon, I'm not saying that Lloyd Webber is the pinnacle of musical genius (although I prefer him to SS). By proper musicals I mean Guys and Dolls etc.
		JollyWilly on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Just fallen in love with Mrs Moon. Again.
		MrsMoon on Thu 31 January 2008 said... "When you see a guy, with his knob facing sky...you can bet that he's thinking about some doll." Guys and Dolls...a great show!
		MrsMoon on Thu 31 January 2008 said... Oh Jollywilly, just forget me, kid, i'm no good... d'ya hear me?
		dewie on Tue 05 February 2008 said... Musicals are for cunts. Without the songs most musicals do not have a plot that stands up on its own. Without the film/play elements the songs from most muscials wouldn't sell if you simply released them on a cd. Some clever cunbt figured that a lame plot plus a few average songs = a musical and cunts will pay to see it.
		sofalover on Thu 07 February 2008 said... No hetrosexual man wants to see a musical ffs, throat slitting or not.
