Sondheim Likes Burton's 'Sweeney'
posted by Trish Bennett 12:51 PM
A brief notation in a recent Fox 411 article mentions composer Stephen Sondheim and his opinion of the Sweeney Todd film based on his musical play.
I asked Sondheim, by the way, if he’d seen Tim Burton’s movie version of “Sweeney Todd.” He has, and he says he likes it.
“It’s not the Broadway show,” he warned me. “It’s only an hour and 45 minutes. A lot of the score has been cut. They’ve made it its own thing. You have to go in knowing that. But what they’ve done is great.”

That's great news. I am desperatelly waiting for the trailer and the movie self.
Other news:
I found a lovely article, where they are ranking movie stars. Johnny is 3 hours - among the best. :)
From article:
Before you say it, allow me to point out that most of you don't think that any movie star is worth looking at for three hours because you don't think that any movie is worth three hours of your time. I understand that. Most movies are way too long these days. But once in a while, a movie comes along that I think is worth three hours of my time.
THREE HOURS– Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood, Cate Blanchett, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Helen Mirren, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman and Peter O'Toole.

Totally...the other day during Biology, i caught my self gazing at a pic of him on my binder, for like 5 minutes!i was just mesmirized, i guess.
Im pretty crazy about him. Some nites, before i go to sleep, i picture myself meeting him and becoming good freinds with him, and maybe acting in a movie with him...hugging him. And it keeps on going!lol
I'm sure im not the only one!lol He is a brilliant , beautiful, amazing man.<3<3<3<3
lol! same with me crystal! except i have a pic of Johnny on my file dividers + the other day i was getting out some lined paper from my file, and i just froze gawping at him for ages...and..then the room filled with noise again :D
I bet Johnny would be mortified to think girls young enough to be his daughter fancied him. Sorry but it's true.
