I believe that it all worked out the way it was supposed to, for the events that transpired after all the turmoil have brought my life to a wonderful place, with wonderful people, and doing something I love.

Alain, you always make me smile! I think I know exactly what pic you're talking about. I'm assuming it's a pic of a chick on a bike. You should see the rest of the photos from that shoot! HAHAHAHAHA!
One of the pics will be included in a calender that I'm...

And I would agree with you. That was quite a story. I believe that there are no coincidences in life but one...

LOLOL, Alain, it really takes a lot to tick me off, so you have no worries!! I didn't follow RIGHT BEHIND the dude - I left space between us. I didn't want to tangle with him again, so I waited until he was out the door, then ran...I wanted someone on his tail so he wouldn't get away (but he did).

After I got the money out of the register and he threw me to the ground, I followed his *ss out of the store about 20 ft behind him and screamed over and over "the f*cker robbed me" till the guys from the tattoo shop down the street ran after him...but the GREAT part was when he turned around at the corner....

Were you NUTS? You chased him! I would have stayed on the ground and just said Thank you God, Thank you, thank you. You chased him!!!...

All I could think of was what to say to keep him from pulling that trigger.

It's such a crazy world, isn't it? I'm so glad to hear that you got out of your situation without physical harm....

I have always been a fan of Sondheim's music...the song about the "menu" choices was hilarious! I certainly enjoy Burton's quirky dark humor, costuming, settings, and overall atmosphere. I think Helena Bonham Carter played her role wonderfully.

***SPOILER BELOW*****

Since I already knew the plot, I wasn't freaked out by the story. BUT, I think they went waaaay overboard being graphic with the slashing. I am a survivor of a robbery in which a man...

Yes, I did like it, but would not place it up there with my all time favorites. I too love blood & guts, war, sci-fi movies. If you like musicals, it's for you.

Sooo, did you like it or not?

I saw a live production of Sweeney Todd on public tv many, many years ago, and I was shocked to see Angela Lansbury in it! Gruesome, but interesting. I love old musicals, opera, operetta...and I love horror films...so Sweeney Todd is right up my alley. I'm going to watch it this weekend.
I just finished watching all 3 of the Resident Evil movies over a couple rainy...

Just watched this, and I must say it's not at all what we expected ! A musical starring Johnny Depp ! With a very gruesome plot. The wife had her eyes closed through half the movie.
