Except it kind of was the middle film of an informal trilogy about revenge.
The sequel (kinda not really but thematically) has food porn (baking, even!), and a really beautiful community healing/torture scene where a fancy cake is contrasted with a piece of tofu as a central metaphor.

Oh, a franc for every time that one happened...

Yes. But that was a strange time in my life that I'd rather not discuss openly.

It's okay. A lot of people experimented during their college years.

For a second, I thought this was about some ICE bullshit.

Is this real life or A Song of Ice and Fire?

Is he the good guy?

I mean… that’s probably a matter of perspective.
You should watch the movie rendition, it’s fantastic and Johnny Depp stars in it.

Don’t forget Alan Rickman!
Also wtf I never realized Sacha Baron Cohen was in it?

And Helena Bonham Carter, who is also awesome in that movie
And Alan Rickman

She sure is awesome. She’s a perfect pairing for Johnny Depp. Really good energy mix.

You forgot the best part. When the judge came for a shave.

I would argue that by the end of it, Mr. Todd did not consider the experience "cool"

If you are a Hamilton fan, I highly recommend checking out their tribute to Sweeney Todd.

Demon barber sweeny todd randomly pops into my head in the shower, much to the confusion of the hubs who has not seen that tribute

Just realizing how close this is to the plot of oldboy.
Taleya@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 239d
I've considered it, but times is hard

This sounds like a good sequel to Oldboy (the American version, the Korean version cannot ever be sequel-ed properly).

its a shame that the cast ruined it by being an abusive rapist (Depp) and one of his core defenders (Carter)
CannonFodder@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 255d
Rather contested, that notion is.

Of course it is since the patriarchy is real.

True or not; he plays a serial killer who makes other people eat his victims very well. I feel like the movie's still fine.
