It has the two young lovers actually talking to each other and deciding to run away together. The song is great, but the scene also gives us some very important character development that the movie lacks. It also lets you get to know Johanna a little better.<br /><br />But I adored Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett. And she has a very raw, but delectable singing voice. And I don't know if there is anything better than Depp singing, "This is piss. This is piss."Kschenkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655115199381639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-84366237038498872302010-03-04T00:54:13.757-08:002010-03-04T00:54:13.757-08:00Agreed: Helena Bonham Carter is one of the best th...Agreed: Helena Bonham Carter is one of the best things about this movie. For me, 'The Worst Pies in London' and the brilliantly deadpan 'By the Sea' were the standouts.Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-52571272068218444962010-03-02T21:27:40.929-08:002010-03-02T21:27:40.929-08:00Thanks to the both of you.Thanks to the both of you.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-34494234144016802482010-03-02T19:26:23.985-08:002010-03-02T19:26:23.985-08:00What an excellent and in-depth write-up.

I tried once, but I was drunk at the time and wasn't in the mood for singing Johnny Depp, so I turned it off and haven't looked back since. I'm sure I'll get around to it one of these days. Looking forward to the rest of your Burtonfest coverage!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390842606960468754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-20800907459654018662010-03-02T04:12:25.481-08:002010-03-02T04:12:25.481-08:00The songs on this film are kind of hard to get use...The songs on this film are kind of hard to get used to, but after a while, they kind of stick and before you know it, your humming along. <br /><br />I love it how Burton has managed to remain dark and gothic all these years.<br /><br />Alice in Wonderland is having all sorts of problems even before it hits theaters, it seems theaters are boycotting the film because Disney will be releasing it too soon on DVD or something? <br /><br />The previews make it look like it will be a fun 3-d experience. Im seeing it anyways, its a Burton film after all.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
