Well, you've read the notes, the notes were late, late, and now it is time for you to post until the late, late cows come home.   Meanwhile, there's these ten lords a-leaping to deal with.

It is possible to have older releases in the ten best IF they made their CD debut this year.  I'll have my list at some point today, but of older releases that I discovered this year, so many!  And I'll start with the most recent - the Sefano di Battista/Vince Mendoza album, and Vince Mendoza's Epiphany and Symphonic.  Brilliant albums both.  About fifty percent of some of the bossa nova CDs I discovered this year are terrific, too.

'Sweeney Todd'

Tim Burton's scaled-down adaptation chooses style over substance. The result, however, is still a pretty enjoyable film.
By Carina Chocano
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

December 21, 2007

TIM BURTON'S adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece "Sweeney Todd" is a funny, moody musical blood bath. It's also notably cuter than its famous theatrical predecessors -- which I guess is what happens when you cast Johnny Depp as the serial throat-slitter and Helena Bonham Carter as his cannibal pie-making accomplice.

"Sweeney Todd" may be the most outrageously macabre piece of musical theater ever created, but Burton can't help but make it pretty too
…
Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett should look like a pair of depraved old bags next to the young lovers, but under the circumstances they look more like casually debauched rock stars.

Funny...cute...pretty - what film did he see!

Depraved old bags!  There is no reason why either character need be much past 35! (Apprenticed at 14, married at 16, transported at 18, return 15 years later.)

Sweeney Todd, like Shakespeare, is not about the story - the greatness lies in the telling thereof - "style" is a great deal of what it is about.

Interesting that the reviewer makes no comment at all on the star of the film - the grand sounds that fill the theatre from the first moment till the end. Commenting on ST without noticing the music is like reviewing 2001 as a silent film.

Saturday morning greetings!  Today is the first of my 5-in-a-row off and I'm up early to bake Christmas cookies.  We're going to try for a Sweeney Todd matinee.

DR JRand - our Christmas tree is not in the front picture window, but that newel you admired is visible from the street.  The tree can be seen from Central Ave. and the cross-street and, most importantly to me (as the chief cook and baker), from the kitchen.

“Sweeney Todd” may haunt you in ways you’re not used to with a movie musical. At least not since “Mame.”

Too late now - but for future reference:

Always always always use Delivery Confirmation with the USPS.....my sister Molly's Christmas Box of Prezzies NEVER EVER made it to Seattle.  Mailed via Parcel Post on December

Included in the box was a necklace, bracelet, earrings to match the dress she wore to the wedding; a book for my brother in law and a set of Dean Martin DVD movies (w/o Jerry Lewis), a box of matched stationery, and three James Dean DVD's + DREAMGIRLS on DVD.

I hope whoever stole it or found it has a Merry Christmas.

Helping you mellow out and regain your senses are mentally-stimulating 72-degree links from Mercury to Uranus (5:43AM PST) and from Venus to Saturn (1:57PM PST). The former can give you revelatory brainstorms while the latter can bring stable conditions back into storm-tossed relationships. The main event of the day arrives tonight when the Sun unites with Jupiter in Capricorn (9:57PM PST). This is one of the most superlative conjunctions of the year since it connects the two largest bodies in the solar system. You definitely need to examine your most important life themes and issues. See the big picture of why you are here on Earth at this time. What can you do to make the world a better place? Can you spread goodwill and encouragement throughout a weary and exhausted humanity looking for inspired individuals who can bring light into darkened areas of the globe? Evening meditations are welcome as the dynamic Full Moon comes into manifestation on Sunday.

Who knew a Mercury link with Uranus could have such an effect?

Jon Hamm who plays the leading role of Don Draper in MAD MEN has been cast as Dr. Grainer in the remake of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL....this may correspond to the Hugh Marlowe role in the original.

Keanu Reeves is playing Klaatu and Jennifer Connelly plays Helen.  The film directed by Scott Derrickson from a script by David Scarpa has been filming in Vancouver since December 12.

I don't think a remake is necessary.....but I guess time will tell.  My guess is that the whole thing will cause this earth to be reduced to a burned out cinder in the blinking of an eye.

We don't have an a traditional Christmas tree.  But we do have a really festive ornament tree on top of the piano which, when lit, looks even more festive.
