Sweeny Todd

You know what's a great movie? You guessed it, Sweeny Todd. Ah, I love it! Even though Johnny Depp is kind of old, he's still attractive! Especially when he's all dressed up in his Jack Sparrow thing, or his Sweeny Todd thing! The one movie he does look like butt in is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love that movie and all, but seriously, he is really creepy in it.

The reason I'm talking about Sweeny Todd is because I'm listening to the soundtrack. This song is... A Little Priest, the one where they are dancing around the Mrs. Lovettes Pie Shop, him holding a knife and her holding a bread roller thing, singing about how they are going to kill people and cook them in pies. Yeah, it's a pretty disturbing movie, but hey, that's Tim Burton for ya.

I have a band concert tonight (a school one, the band, you know?). I play the flute in it and our band sounds really crappy. The band is divided into two sections. The good section is called Wind Ensemble and that's where all the good players go. Their band is really good! Like, amazing! But our band... ha ha ha. Not so much. We're playing six songs, one with a harp! I really want to learn how to play the harp! It is so pretty! So I've decided that, after I move into my loft in New York City, I will get a harp and take lessons. The good band is playing a fifteen minute song, a ten minute song, and like, two or three other five minute songs. There goes my night, having to listen to them. No, it'll be nice. I like listening to good music. But I'm not going to eat until after that and it's already five o' clock.

Now I'm seriously just rambling. I really want to write but I have nothing to write about. Nada. ¿Como estas? That's Spanish. Skill! I'm on my second year of Spanish and so far I can say three words. Whoop-de-doo.

Ugh! I just had something to say and now it's gone.

Well, so I don't take up any more of your time with my pointless conversation with myself I'm going to go and... damn. Prance around the house in my pretty new shoes (courtesy of Tumble)!

Oh yeah! I remember what I was going to say, but it doesn't seem very interesting any more. And, ha ha, I just forgot it again. Ah well, that's life for ya.

Coraline

I would just like to say that Coraline is the GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!! Ok, that's a lie, but it's still REALLY GOOD! If you love Nightmare Before Christmas then there is probably no way you won't like this movie! Don't worry, I won't spoil anything here, but SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T!!! Especially in 3D if you have the option, because that is ten times better (mind you I haven't seen it in regular-D, but I would assume this). The 3D colors aren't all weird either, like in Spy Kids 3. They're actually normal. But everything pops out into your face. It's super neat.

It's a pretty messed up movie though. Like, it's not messed up like Sweeny Todd (also amazing!) but it's not a kids movie, at all. I was freaked out at some parts. I wasn't scared, like I've got to sleep with the lights on, no. I was just freaked out, because the movie is really freaky! Just watch to find out how.

The basic plot line, if you don't know so far, is that this 11-year-old girl named Coraline moves into this new apartment (the apartment is amazing because it's basically just a really big pink mansion that got divided into (four I think) different apartments). Her parents write about gardens and they're really boring. So is her life, basically. I would hate to live there. Then she finds this locked door and goes through it (still not ruining anything) where she meets her "Other Parents" who aren't boring and actually pretty cool. But creepy. And I'll stop here...

Actually, this girl is pretty freaking brave. She just wanders into this "Other World" like la-de-dah. I would have been crapping my pants (I'm trying not to say cuss words worse than crap because I don't want to get kicked out).

Tim Burton. Amazing!!! I would just like to say that he is making a new movie that is coming out in 2010 called... wait for it... ALICE IN WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!

I discovered this in journalism when I should have been writing journalist stuff but instead looked up movies. And then I discovered Alice in Wonderland!!!!! And guess who is playing the Mad Hatter! Give up? JOHNNY DEPP!!!!! AHHH!!!!! And Helena Carter (I think she has another last name, like has two last names or something, but I'm too lazy to look it up. It's just that chick married to Tim Burton and who is Mrs. Lovett in Sweeny Todd and... OH! I just realized a lowercase 'd' is like a 'p' up-side down! And that Helena chick is Belatrix in Harry Potter) is playing the Red Queen. I think that's the evil queen... I haven't read the book in a while. And Anne Hathaway is the White Queen. I really don't remember that character at all. BUT I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as I've said repeatedly).

You know what? I think Tim Burton is THE best director every! Well, him and Christaphor (that's spelled wrong) Nolan (Batman! In case ya didn't know). Of corse, those are the only two directors I know. But I love the claymation style he does. Is he the only person who still does those? I think so. But I love the Corpse Bride (I really wanna learn the main piano song for that) and Nightmare Before Christmas. NBC (ha ha ha I didn't realize those were the initals) is my favorite though. I have the soundtrack and I love Jack Skeleington (ok ok I can't spell) and Sally. But her voice is too high-pitched so I can't sing along in the shower or whatever.

I'm going to go now. I have to practice piano and then babysit, then come home and either watch Chicago or Batman. I've been craving me some Batman.
