Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet StreetWho has seen my new favorite movie or the musical I would give anything to be in?
|
Lady Ducki
|
I have! 
And I happen to be listening to the soundtrack right now.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
I've seen both, and I prefer the musical. The movie was good, but I'm a sucker for theater.
|
Lady Ducki
|
The revival's tour show is in KC right now, but it'll be impossible to get a ticket now  .
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
So am I Ducki! I bought it the second I got home and got on iTunes.
It's ok, Shadow. We forgive you...I have only seen clips online of the musical, but I want to see it so bad. Of course I would much rather been in it...
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Theater Jax in my area did it two years ago. I liked it.
"Pretty Women" is probably my favorite song.
And Ducki, beg, borrow, or steal!
|
Lady Ducki
|
That's a good song, also "Epiphany", "A Little Priest" and the longer "Johanna".
I don't do those kind of things.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
The four just listed are my favorite. I can't really say which one I like more...I love all of them. My girlfriend has a great voice and loves theater too, so we always sing "A Little Priest" together.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
A lot of people will be doing "A Little Priest" at drama competition next year. x_x
"Johanna" is so wonderful.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Honestly, I don't like the shorter version of "Johanna". More than likely because my girlfriend sings that one constantly...but I love the long one were Todd sings.
|
Lady Ducki
|
That's the one I was talking about.
"Little Priest" isn't that hard of a song and it's funny.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
That's why the judges are going to grow to hate it. 
Matt, you hate your girlfriend's singing? Haha. Don't tell her.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
If I said that, I might die. Wait, I would die.
I don't hate her singing, I love her voice...she just sings all the time.
|
Lady Ducki
|
I can see how that would get annoying Praxeum.
I gotta admit, the second half of "Pirelli's Miracle Elixir" is pretty funny.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
I also love "No Place Like London."
I think that they need to make a teenager performance of this play so I can be Todd . But they only teenager performing thing around her would NEVER do that. That censored our last play, Bye Bye Birdie, that they couldn't say weed.
|
Lady Ducki
|
They couldn't say weed? That's dumb. But then again, so is that musical .
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
We couldn't say ANYTHING. I mean, we are doing Oklahoma this year and I am amazed that they will let the scene with the Peddler Man and Ado Annie talking about motel rooms in, but they wouldn't let us say reefers last year.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Siggy change  .
Where do you live?
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
And I am excited, I got the part of Will Parker.
Right outside of Atlanta.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Ahaha. I love it.
I've seen teen versions of "Sweeney" but they across the board suck. That's why I'm stoked for Districts next year. Haha.
Sondhiem does so many funky vocal changes, he's so hard if you've seen/heard "Into the Woods."
|
Lady Ducki
|
Congrats!
Oh, I think you've said that before and I forgot  .
|
Lady Ducki
|
I haven't seen Into the Woods, but I want to.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
It's really good. "Agony" [for future reference] is one of the best songs in it.
But "Sweeney" had a lot of funny moments. I loved the color motif.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Color motif? Is that the "By the Sea" part?
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
I have seen "Into the Woods" so many times it makes me sick.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
The grey-scale. But I also loved the contrast in "By the Sea."
And why?! It's so good!
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
It is good, but I just have seen it way to much.
That and "Your a good man, Charlie Brown."
|
Emperor Shadow
|
But Bernadette Peters is godly.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Oh yeah, the grey-scale is pretty cool. Especially with blood squirting everywhere.
I saw Bye Bye Birdie like 4 times.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
I had to cover my eyes for all the throat slashing.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
I only saw Bye Bye Birdie about 2 times...and I was in it! That director was TERRIBLE. There were scenes we hadn't even blocked until 30 minutes before the doors opened. 
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Really? I loved the throat slashing. I told my friend, "You know how in horror movies, right before someone is like cut in thiry different pieces then like offered to the murderer's dead mother or something, the camera switchs to a different shot so you don't see the death. This is like that.....without switching the shots."

You and my mother.
I really liked the throat slashing too  .
|
Emperor Shadow
|
I disliked it so, so much. I don't really get it. x_x
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
What's not to get? I physco barber that had ever thing taken away from him slashed his customers throats, and made the meat from them into meat pies while everybody was singing and Tim Burton directed it. Rather simple to me.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
The thematic necessity is so evident from your explanation.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
It's a gift really. Something I was born with.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Yeah, everything made sense except this.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Oh...then I guess I was really confessing all of those things. I must be Sweeney Todd. Sweet!
|
Emperor Shadow
|
This is when you claim it was simply Praxeumspeak.
|
Lady Ducki
|
You hush up .
|
Emperor Shadow
|
'Tis true.
Oh, and le gasp! The movie theater I most often go to is doing a double feature of Sweeney Todd and Rent. I about died.
|
Lady Ducki
|
What about Hairspray?
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Hmmm...would I rather have an entire language named after me or be Sweeney Todd...that is a close one.
Can I come? *puppy face*
|
Emperor Shadow
|
You could have both, in reality.
And if you got to Florida.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Then it's not an option for me.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Then I hearby declare everything I incorrectly spell, Praxeumspeak. And I will soon slash all of your throats, bake you, and sell you in pies.
I'm on my way right now. Though I have to walk so it might take me a little while.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Who gets it first? 
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
I am not going to say... to make sure everybody watchs their back.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Eeeeeee.....
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Wouldn't that be treason?
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Though I will say I do need someone to run the pie shop underneath me...
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Labor? Get some Gungans.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
But that is who I wanted to kill off first...No! I have spoken to much! *runs and hides in shadows*
And yes, I am ignoring the fact that I am being suspected of treason...
|
Emperor Shadow
|
I'm sure Sweeney would be proud.
Treason is gewd.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
But I am Sweeney. So I am proud of myself? That is vain. So are you really telling me I am vain, Shadow?
|
Emperor Shadow
|
Vanity can be good.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
I suppose.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Wows, I'm lost here.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Something tells me we should get back on topic...
|
Sovereign Defender Tarna
|
It's fun watching clips of the play on YouTube, because they all look so...normal as opposed to Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
But how normal can a physco barber that slits throats and makes them into meat pies be?

......your logic defeats me.
|
Lady Ducki
|
But it's not just the throats that get made into pies.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
All but bones... And the occasional whole toe.
|
Lady Ducki
|
Well, not everything can go through the grinder every time.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
So they should make a Sweeney Todd were a whole body gets through the grinder and someone has that in their pie. 
|
Emperor Shadow
|
That's a wee gross.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
You know who needs to be in this conversation? Seti. He would be fun in a conversation like this.
|
Emperor Shadow
|
If by "fun" you mean morbid and arcane, yes.
|
Supreme Prophet Praxeum
|
Isn't that what fun means?
|
Lady Ducki
|
Why of course!
But you're right Praxeum. he does need to join this coversation.
|
Durza

I saw that movie (the musical) and thought Johnny Depp's hair was AWESOME!!! I'm so gonna grow mine out and have it done up like that.
|
Darth Thrax
|
I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but I did not care for this movie.
|
Durza
|
I disagree with you. But that is simply life. There will alway be disagreements.
|
Darth Thrax
|
I never said that I didn't like the movie. I only said that I didn't care enough for it to actually watch it.
|
Durza
|
Apologies for the misunderstanding on my part.
|
Darth Thrax
|
No, no, it's okay. Just merely stating that. 
|
Durza
|
I thank you. I hate being at fault, exept in an argument of course .
