Slack? Me??

I know I know, but sometimes I just can't face having to TYPE things. We now have the full set of Series one Buffy figures. They're very silly. I had a mad urge to make a stop motion animation with them, getting Ollie and Helen to orchestrate it etc. but mercifully it passed. In the meantime, Ollie's camera started being WEIRD. It's a wonderful effect but not really useful for normal photographic purposes. So there goes my experimentation with HDR...

Oh well. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a touch controversial. I had read some VERY mixed reviews of the film, with a bias against it overall (especially as there is a gradual Tim Burton backlash due to him being a little formulaic/repetitive/always casting JD & HBC) and so was delighted when it turned out to be rather enjoyable. Sure, the characters a all thoroughly unlovable and the cast aren't exactly singers but the musical really could have been written for Tim Burton to film. Although HBC can't possibly compare to Angela Lansbury's original performance:

So now I can alternate between a jolly happy chubby feelgood musical about how if you just TRY HARD then you can make the world a better place, and a miserable, misanthropic, bleak and bloodthirsty musical which tells us that everyone is shit and we all deserve to die and BTW whatever you do you'll be betrayed and end up being the cause of your own downfall. Hurrah.
