Sweeney Todd

Well, I'm thinking that Tim Burton (and other directors) are starting to create roles to suit Johnny Depp. Bravo! Johnny takes on the most interesting characters, apparently anything weird and well written is what he likes to tackle. The latest, if you haven't heard already, is Sweeney Todd. Yes, it's the demon barber from h.e-double-hockey-sticks. Only Johnny could sing his way into a blockbuster. They still make musicals? This one is devilishly crazy good. Every note and deathly expressions belong in this wicked tale. I know, I know, it's not sounding like Christmas anymore.

In any case, you really need to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site. Prepare yourself, it's not a children's pirate movie or anything like that. And, of course, along with all this hoopla comes a confessional booth, or barber chair, where you can confess your dastardly deeds of revenge. It is the theme of this movie after all. Post a video tape or a written confession. Apparently there is no shame for the confessor.

I might just have to wipe off all that toothpaste and toilet paper from Edward's car. Oh no wait . . . that wasn't me! Who knew the paint would come off? At any rate, visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace and get yourselves acquainted with the barber whose life was stolen, became mad, vengeful and started to sing about it. So what are you doing for Christmas?
