Really a shame.
Still, the fact that we get an epic sword fight between a red-headed, bat-shit crazy Johnny Depp versus Crispin Glover sporting some fancy armor and a heart-shaped eye patch just makes everything worthwhile :p

Yeah, I really loved Sweeney Todd too, mostly because it really felt like he wasn't trying (or didn't have) to please anyone.
Haha, and I heard about this swordfight. I'll definitely check it out in the theatre, but I'm worried.

Yeah, the ending is really unsettling, but appropriately so. I loved it.
