side notes

[incandescens]

Went to see The Golden Compass with my mother. We agreed that while there were some very nice high notes, the plot itself had been so thinned as to be near nonexistent. Fun movie, wonderful armoured bears, good Mrs Coulter and Lyra, pleasant watching. But I don't think I'd bother buying the DVD.

Sweeney Todd not out here yet, alas.

Also, have cold. Snerf.

I totally agree. Plot? What plot? The bears were amazing though. ;D

Oh, and Sweeney Todd rocked my world btw.

I look forward to seeing the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

I enjoyed Sweeny Todd, despite the fact that it's firmly convinced me that I cannot abide Stephen Sondheim's music. His lyrics are clever, by half, but the music was overbearing (the brass in particular) and gave me a headache. I didn't care for Assassins either, so I guess Into the Woods remains an aberration.

I've never actually tried Assassins. Really should, one of these days.

ST full of awesome. I still remember the amateur stage production you and I and diony saw together ages ago. :)

I remember that too! It still holds a cherished place in my memory. It introduced me to the show.
