Demon Barber

Saw "Sweeney Todd" today with Athena, who awesomely showed up even though she's still obviously under the weather. Take care of yourself! Rest up 'n' stuff.

I loved the movie, but I'm an uncritical fanboy when it comes to Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. I've said I would watch Depp read a software EULA for two hours. "Sweeney Todd" was far more entertaining than that. It's a closely constructed tale swiftly told, and Burton's direction and visual style is a perfect fit. The story has what Kevin calls a "button" ending. I'm not giving anything away, am I?

Yes, there's blood. Bright red cartoon blood. Be warned.
