Positive reviews for Sweeney Todd (reprinted from a comment in someone else's LJ)

I see. They like it because it makes mass murder and cannibalism entertaining. Well, as a historian, I have had enough of that in my subject, and I must say that I do not see the fun in it. Hollywood, however, does, ever since The Silence of the Lambs and Fried Green Tomatoes. But then, an industry that relies on the regular destruction of its own personnel may not have any trouble with cannibalism. I wonder - has anyone ever checked the ingredients in Hollywood restaurants and caterers?

Aren't you going to tell us about how sorry you felt for the husband and that Fannie Flagg is a feminazi?

No, I'm not. Just because you like to set up straw men to knock down is no reason why I should indulge your idea of masturbation. And incidentally, using your fingers on your sexual organs is rather more wholesome than making fantasy hate figures. Try it some time.
