The Worst DVD to pirate
Is one which has lots of dark tones and actresses that mumble for most of the show. Also, throw into the mix, a pretend-French barber that speaks with a ridiculous accent, and you will get a show that you’ll have to squint to see and rewind countless times to hear. In other words – an almost unpirate-able show
Yes, I am talking about Sweeny Todd.
I just watched it on a pirated DVD.
Not that I am proud of this, of course. But in my defence, I had no choice as they are not showing it where I am.
The low quality of a cam shot version of Sweeny Todd is bad enough. But imagine how much worse it could get if the pirate cam operator is an unprofessional one, who is constantly fidgeting in his seat and from time to time, I am not kidding, FARTS into the camera speakers!!!
EVEN with all this, it was quite an enjoyable show. It’s definitely not a show to bring the kids to, but still not half as gory as many had made it out to be. Definitely a fun watch for the adults.
Johnny Depp’s acting for this show has been lauded as brilliant but his Keanu-esque 1-expression-for-the-entire-film can get a bit tiring after awhile. The hidden star of this show is definitely Alan “Severus Snape” Rickman. His duet, yes, duet with Johnny “Pretty Woman” (not the one that’s walking down the street) is definitely one of the best songs in the show
