Two excerpts from Sweeney Todd:

"Mrs Mooney has a pie shop.
Does a business, but I notice something weird,
lately all her neighbor's cats have disappeared."

"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit,
and the vermin of the world inhabit it,
and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
and it goes by the name of London. "


Why? Because I just read a rumor that Tim Burton will direct a movie musical version. I don't know who else out there is familiar with this particular work, but it's my favorite musical. Link to the story. It says that Johnny Depp is somehow attached, which sounds a bit odd. The titular character is an older man, at least in his mid-fifties or even early sixties. Aint it cool predicts an official announcement in a few weeks.
