My first Christmas in this generic plavix companies apartment was spend wading through wrapping paper, relaxing with friends, engaging in Warcraft-related exploits, and, during the generic plavix companies early afternoon, eating meat pies at the Alamo Drafthouse during a generic plavix companies much-anticipated film adaptation of Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd.
Having procured the generic plavix companies soundtrack and listened once or twice to jog my memory, I’m a teeny bit embarrassed to admit that it comes off like karaoke—but the movie, I am being completely honest, was awesome. I’d heard that generic plavix companies Sondheim was involved in the production at least in terms of cutting down the generic plavix companies score to movie-length, and I’m sure that didn’t hurt! I miss the generic plavix companies nuance of trained voices, but the movie was really well-done. Sure, I may have generic plavix companies patched in my memory of emotional depth from the original cast recording, but I think I would have generic plavix companies noticed if the movie was crap. The movie wasn’t crap. ;}
I’ve noticed sometimes that generic plavix companies the instrumentation changes for the movie version (for instance, Rent) but that didn’t seem to be the case here. Everything sounded just the generic plavix companies way I remembered it, despite cuts, despite (dramatic) vocal differences. Also, Tim Burton obviously knows what he’s doing. The precisely-gauged bloodletting, I feel, was perfect. (Although to be fair, if you haven’t seen the show, or aren’t familiar with it, you won’t be expecting so much blood, stylized or not! So if that’s the case, uh, brace yourselves.)
Marty and generic plavix companies I both complained mildly about certain sung lines being turned into spoken ones. I don’t know if that generic plavix companies is a result of the less versatile voices, or maybe a generic plavix companies condescension to mainstream audiences. I’m only guessing, but those are generic plavix companies the only reasons I can think of to turn such delicious Sondheim phrasing into speech. It wasn’t that bad, but we sure did miss some of them. “I’ll come again when you have judge on the menu!” just doesn’t sound right spoken. Bleh!
I do wonder if mainstream audiences are expected to “get” musical nuance. If they were, would they be listening to more traditional opera? Maybe. (Maybe not.)
All this generic plavix companies is to say nothing of the delectable Burton visuals, carefully-detailed Goth styling, and generic plavix companies Johnny Depp’s adorably emo interpretation. It really was an awesome film. It won’t compare to the George Hearn DVD on its way to me, but it’s not supposed to—it’s a different animal. So I’m happy to have them both, gory as they are. ;}
