Dude. Limewire sucks. All anyone has is Sweeney Todd. I can't tell you how much Sweeney Todd freaks me out. You wouldn't believe me; you would laugh at me. I taped it off of Bravo years ago, sight unseen, because I knew it was a Sondheim musical and I'd loved Into the Woods so much. So I watched it. Once. It scared me so much, grossed me out so thoroughly that I couldn't bear to look at anything resembling either ground meat or a pie for weeks afterward, and I haven't looked at Angela Lansbury the same way since. (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a musical about a London barber who starts slitting his clients' throats and sending them to the bakerwoman downstairs to have them made into pies, which she sells in her bake shop to enormous profit.)
I was so scared by that musical that I can't even bear to touch the video tape, which also has The Purple Rose of Cairo on it. So I haven't seen that movie since, either. Anyway. No one has Company and I still need "Poor Baby" and "Finale", goddammit. |
