2007 Golden Globe Nominations

You wouldn't know, Martha. It was only a minor hit on Broadway (ran about a year and a half) and it isn't the sort of piece to be regularly revived by high schools. (Too bloody, but also too hard to sing.)

When it was on Broadway, we used to get front row seats for out-of-town visitors so they would get splashed by the blood (actually, some sort of chocolate syrup concoction) and then we'd serve real meat pies afterwards. The 70s were fun!

But with Tim Burton directing the film, I doubt it has gotten any less violent.

(Actually, it's so over the top, it becomes funny and one roots for the killers, not their victims. Don't let me discourage you from going. I wish we could see it together.)

Oh dear, dont know if I would like it now. Are you supposed to just "laugh" at it, because it's so "fakey evil". Johnny Depp always does the most off-beat pieces (Gilbert Grape and Edward Scissorhands); and pulls it off.

I will be thinking of you Xmas day SEEING A PLAY!!!! We actually have some very good plays here.

Inxs were/are a great band and it was such a bizarre and and untimely death for both Michael and Paula...so sad.

Their new lead singer, J.D. Fortune, is totally hot. I saw them here last year (despite my prejudices against all things Australian).

And also to you, dingo. (INXS' new lead is Canadian, of course, and was chosen on an American TV show, so that redeems them somewhat. )

Note to Marthatex:

It occurs to me that because of MPAA ratings, the movie may tone down the most graphic gore, even with Tim Burton at the helm. As presented on Broadway, the show might well get an "X" rating for violence.

But I think they kept to the same story.

Well, surely it can't be as bad as you've painted it for me!

Bad? Didn't I mention it is brilliant?!
