Sweeney Todd

Anyone else looking forward to this?:

Indeed. A Johnny Depp and Tim Burton film has got to be worth a watch.
I understand it's based on the Broadway Musical. Is this true?

Keith, Don't let my wife hear you talk about Depp like that.

Though I fear you could be right about the old 'apples and pears' accent.

Yep, that and the fact that he is not exactly ugly and is worth millions!

I think Johnny's broken/camp accent worked wonderfully well for his Jack Sparrow character.

Yep, shame about the rest of the film.

Watched it last night. Yes, it's a musical. In fact, there's hardly any normal dialogue at all, it's almost entirely sung.

Glad I watched it, but not sure I enjoyed it. Odd.
