I disagree with you. You see the stage recording of Sweeney Todd, starring George Hern and Angela Lansbury...

Oh, I have seen it and I love it. It is probably one of the better recordings of a play I have seen.

It really saddens me that from now on Sweeney Todd will forever be remembered as a Tim Burton film starring Depp.

I'd say it's not just a matter of prettiness, it's a matter of film presence too.

WRONG!!! I mean, seriously, who wants to look at closeups of Sarah Brightman for two hours?
