Holiday Movie Releases
I remember reading about Tim Burton's film version of Sweeney Todd not too long ago, and it might be the one film I go see during the hoildays. Adam is rooting for I Am Legend, but we'll see. You just can't seem to go wrong with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. I've never actually seen Sondheim's musical of Sweeny Todd, not being a musical theater sort, but I have always found the story line appealing. It's kind of the Goth Musical.
They've pulled out all the stops on internet promotion for the film, and not only can you visit Sweeny Todd on MySpace, but you can also visit buzznet.com and post your own confession, either via text or video. You are encouraged to post your own tales of sweet revenge. What's up there at the moment is a bit lame, but one would hope that some interesting stuff pops up, a la PostSecret. I'm trying to think whether I would have anything interesting to confess. I think the fact that I'm generally a pretty upfront "here I am" sort of person means that my confessions are either already quite public, or so private/personal that I'll take them to my grave. Well, ok, here goes: I accidentally shoplifted at Target yesterday. There was a little bottle of organic baby shampoo that was way under the seat where the Bug was sitting, and I missed putting it on the conveyor belt, and the cashier didn't see it. I found it, unbagged, when I was loading stuff into my trunk. I have about $6.49 worth of guilt I'm carrying around at the moment, but I'm sure I'll get over it.
In the meantime, visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site, and if you see Johnny Depp, tell him there's still plenty of room in my bed.
