Entertaining film...at least 97% of it

Since reading "The Omega Man" in 7th grade, I have had a thing for "last man alive" fantasy's. Maybe because of that long infatuation all films fall short?... Many parts of this film completely satisfy. I did find myself re-writing while watching... I guess I will continue to pursue the ultimate book or film.... however this film keeps your heart rate up and your muscles tense for most of it.

Nicely done!

Without a doubt the best of all Sondheim scores. The recent NY revival was one of the finest things I have seen on the stage. The Tim Burton film was a delight from start to finish. Sondheim himself assisted on the project. I believe that to be a factor in how well the score was "cut" to fit into the restrictions of film. It is a cold, dark, bloody film that is stylized wonderfully. The cinematography is eye candy. All actors, while not "singers", bring a new quality. Thank you Tim Burton! Hats off to Stephen Sondheim, a living 'Mozart' of our time.

Tis the Season to love your fellow man.



I was depressed last night so I rang Lifeline.
I was transferred to a call center in Pakistan.
I told them I was suicidal.
They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

Baseball and steriods

Hello!
What kind of a media/owner/player pile of crap are we enduring now?
The fact that one owner or player 'feigns' shock over this "new steriod news" is amazing.

I don't think there is a single american citizen that hasn't known steriods are a major part of sports for at least ten years.... SNL was doing sketches on it back in the early 80's....
