♣ Mel's Scoop ♣

i rented movies today. i got two musicals which are completely opposites of each other. there's the musical thriller - sweeney todd and musical drama- mamma mia. i didnt like mamma mia at all, the characters didnt appeal to me and frankly speaking, i've never quite liked meryl streep. anyhoo, moving on... sweeney todd! i highly recommend :D but you'll have to be very immuned to the sight of blood. i really like this musical but i wouldnt watch it unaccompanied. im absolutely in love with the plot but the film is just WAY TOO gory for me. i watched my brother's facial expressions to indicate the end of every 'slitting throat' scene. you know how in most movie, directors use filming techniques to censor or down play the throat slitting scenes, it's so different in sweeney todd. they show you every thing, ugh so sickening. the blood is very very fake but the visuals still affects me. gosh, im so mentally damaged. i was clenching my throat almost half the movie. damn it, if only it wasnt as bloody as it is, i would have enjoyed it so much more. hm, YOU so have to watch it. oh, i fast forwarded the last 10 minutes of the movie. it was the BLOODIEST part, well excluding the first victim that is. so, i jumped on the imac and wikepedia-ed the ending. then, everything made sense. aiyahhhhh! why did they have to use so much bloood!! im so never eating pies again (gotta watch the movie to know what i mean) heh.

i thought johnny depp's singing was exceptionally good. the songs are quite okay for a musical thriller. my favourite songs were 'Johanna', 'Not when i'm around' and 'My friends'.

RAINBOW BRITE. someone dressed up as rainbow brite during halloween and it all came back to me. man, i want to relive my childhood!!!

check out the door.look!!
it looks like a bloody wall.
was the first to reach the door.
they kept asking me to push the door BUT i kept thinking it wouldnt open.
very different.

we just had lunch boxes because it'll take ages to order random dishes.

after eating,
we shopped shopped shopped.
well,
at least i did.
:D

bought this dress from dotti.
it's a short strapless dress.
the colour is more of a champagne shade;
camera distorted the colour.

another one from dotti.
white spring dress.
couldnt find any nice yellow ones.
this one has yellow trimmings,
that should count for something.

ANOTHER one from dotti.
just an ordinary beige vest/cardi.
dotti must love me so much.
