Would You Let Your Grandmother Live In A Hut?

If you are allowing your grandmother to live in a hut then you shouldn’t be President of the United States of America. Hell, if you are allowing your grandmother to live in a hut you should not be a Senator.  Hell, if you are just an everyday citizen you should have her over here living with you in your split-level middle-class house.

Why are Democrats attracted to this guy again?

Revenge Served Up In A Pie

My middle son and I went to see Sweeney Todd yesterday. It’s definitely an award-winning film, with solid acting, wonderful music and lyrics, great costumes, fantastic cinematography, and a story that is both fascinating and repulsive at the same time. Johnny Depp is perhaps my favorite actor and he gives one of his best performances which, like the movie, is both fascinating and repulsive, and which surely will win him an Oscar. The rest of the cast - Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Sacha Baron Cohen, Laura Michelle Kelly and Peter Bowles are all excellent as well and Tim Burton has outdone himself with his direction of this talented crew.

As excellent as it is though, you don’t really leave the theater with that excited “I just saw a great movie” kind of feeling. I didn’t anyway, and from the almost total silence of the crowd as we left I don’t think many other people did either. Again, it’s not that the movie isn’t good. It’s better than good. It’s just that the subject is so unsettling you can’t really figure out how you should feel so you just feel empty as you walk out.

It’s almost like being in shock I think.

Anyway, go see it, but be prepared for more blood and gore than the worst of the “B” slasher movies, and if you are a man be very happy they invented the safety razor.
