i just watched mommie dearest, which was splendid. faye dunaway, possibly my favorite actress besides kate hepburn and madeline kahn, was just breathtaking. i think joan crawford had borderline personality disorder too, i can relate to the nighttime freak outs.
now i'm watching sweeney todd, obviously a joy to sing along to at home rather than being scared to at the theatre. what an inspired and total vision. that's what always charms me about tim burton films, the totality of his vision and the world he creates for the film and characters to exist in. depp and bonham carter always excel at whatever role they're put in, and work magically together. alan rickman's performance in nigh perfect, and sacha baron cohen's cameo is hilarious and wonderful. i could have dealt with better voices, but the performances of the leads were good enough and the singing fine enough to make it work.
finally, i am getting a dog this week! these are the adorable doggies coming to visit me on tuesday:
dipper and reece, the sweet little twins (the boy used to be in a doggie wheelchair but now is ok without stairs)
and freddie!which ones will i fall for? we shall see!
