VROOM VROOMM VROOOMM!!! HEHE!!!!

JUMPER - So where do you wanna go?

I just saw Jumper and what can i say, i would like to have a taste of that power. Wow! it would actually be a cool superpower. Jump from one place to another, through a wall, anywhere anytime. I just hoped that they would actually include how he got the power in the first place. but they didnt,(every hero with a super power has a backstory on how he became so super) maybe in the sequel? hehe or maybe they can make a tv show out of it like 'monk' that would be super!

Anyway, the plot is not all that heavy. What drives the movie are the fight scenes cause it involves a lot of teleportation tricks. Its a bit of a puppy love story also. dont get me wrong, i actually would suggest you watch the movie, especially to all the sci fi fantasy nuts out there (like me) I would go crazy if the movie was actually based on some sort of graphic novel cuz im the biggest comic book fan. Do any of you guys actually know? anyway, this is another Hayden Christensen movie. Honest! when i made a blog about virgin territory i didnt know hayden was in it. Just by dumb luck! Good thing mischa was in it. anyway, the lead lady is Rachel Bilson, another hottie!! i love this girl. i hope she comes back to the tv show 'chuck' anyway, i have to warn you i make a lot of side comments. im probably one of those kids that cant keep a single chain of thought.

So the plot, Hayden(david rice) hates his life. His relationship with his dad isnt much and he gets picked on in school in front of his biggest crush. he finds out he has a superpower, the kind that can teleport him anywhere as long as he has seen it. So basically, he ditches his life for a cooler one, he robs bank by teleporting himself inside and taking all the money then goes around the world on whatever pleasure he desires. So happy ending. Well that is till a super secret, really high up government agency finally catches up to him and he finds out that he is not the only 'jumper' around and that this agency has been assassinating jumpers one by one all over the world. This is where Samuel Jackson comes in. He plays bad ass roland(he has silver whitish hair for this movie). Crossing paths against Roland, David decides to go back to his old hometown to see his long time crush Millie(Rachel Bilson) . Well thats all ill give you. Where would the suspense be right?

• Hayden Christensen as David Rice (adult): a young man who discovers the ability to "jump", or teleport.
• Jamie Bell as Griffin: Fellow Jumper ^[1]
• Rachel Bilson as Millie Harris (adult): David's childhood friend and crush, who later becomes his girlfriend.^[1]
• Samuel L. Jackson as Roland Cox: the leader of the Paladin organization, whose goal is to kill jumpers who are deemed too powerful to exist.^[1]
• Diane Lane as Mary Rice: David's mother who abandoned her son when he was five years old.^[1]
• Michael Rooker as William Rice: David's father
• AnnaSophia Robb as a Millie Harris (kid)
• Max Thieriot as a David Rice (kid)

So watch it! Tell me what you think.

Virgin Territory

An amusing and charming movie set in some sort of romantic era. maybe if i do some research ill find out what year it is set to but i am lazy and i will just leave it at that. Its setting is Europe and at a tragic time when it was beset with a plague. Amazingly it was portrayed lightly in the movie and doesn't affect what is supposed to be a romantic comedy (I think historically in europe a plague claimed a lot of lives - probably 'the black plague')

So on with the plot. When you start with the movie, you immediately get that feel that this is another romeo and juliet story.Everyone wears tights and wields a sword. Hayden Christensen plays Lorenzo (Romeo) and Mischa Barton (Juliet) plays Pampinea. Well their families are not at war but basically they are in love and obstacles ahead of them cannot be helped. Dont worry, they dont drink cyanide at the end of the movie (its a romantic comedy) Tim Roth plays villain and sour loser. He wants to kill Lorenzo for beating him at gambling and plans to marry Pampinea who is supposed to wed a russian monarch named jajinsky(thats not how it is really spelled) So love triangle, sword fights ladeeda you get the drift.

Oh yeah, apparently a big issue in the movie is virginity. This is actually what makes the movie really fun. Watch out for the awesome nudities cuz there are a lot of them.. I WONT TELL YOU IF MISCHA WILL GET NAKED HAHAHAHA so you will have to see it for yourself.

ATONEMENT - another great movie by Keira Knightley

If you enjoyed 'Pride and Prejudice' you are also going to enjoy this one. Its a great movie. 'Atonement' is a must see. So get a piece of paper and write these down: I will watch 'Atonement' as soon as i can. And if i have a chance, i'll also watch 'Pride and Prejudice'. They evoke the same feeling if you watch both movies, i guess i will have to commend keira for being able to choose the right scripts. So far she has been doing good. 'Domino' 'Pirates of The Carribean' 'Arthur' are just a few.

And the imagery is astonishing. Colors in the frame were well mixed. And it brings you to the exact era it depicts. The plot is well planned. You never expect the ending. im no spoiler but it will really make you say, 'whoa, didnt see that one coming'. and i cant say the story is similar to another movie's like most of the movies that come out lately. Its unique. You can also read the book cuz thats where it originated from. Well thats if you like to waste time. Here are some videos:

SWEENEY TODD MUSICAL - LYRICS

No Place Like London Lyrics

Antony

I have sailed the world
beheld its wonders
from the dardinells,
to the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!
I feel home again...
I could hear the city bells ring...
Whatever would I do?
No there's...

Sweeney Todd

No place like London...

Antony (spoken)

Mr. Todd, sir

Sweeney Todd

You are young...
Life has been kind to you...
You will learn.
(Spoken) 'Tis here we go our seperate ways.
Farewell Antony.
I will not soon forget the good ship bountiful, nor the young man who saved my life.

Antony

(Spoken) There's no cause to thank me for that, sir.
It would have been a poor Christian indeed who would have spotted you
pinching and tossing on that raft and not given the alarm.

Sweeney Todd

(Spoken)
There's many a Christian would've done just that and not lost a winks sleep over it either.

Beggar Woman

(Sung) Alms, alms for a miserable woman, on a miserable chilly mornin'!
Thank ya, sir, thank ya...
How would ya like a little muff,
dear a little jig-jig,
a little bounce around the bush!
Wouldn't ya like to push me parsley?
It looks to me, dear, that you've got plenty there to push!
Alms, alms for a pitiful woman...
what's got wandering wits?
Hey! DOn't I know you, mister?

Sweeney Todd

Must you glare at me, woman?
Off with you!
Off I say!

Beggar Woman

Then how would ya like to split me muff?
Mister, we'll go jig-jig!
A little...

Sweeney Todd

Off I said!
To the devil with you!

Beggar Woman

Alms, alms for a pitiful woman!

Antony (Spoken)

Pardon me, sir, but there's no need to fear the likes of her,
she's only a half-crazed beggar woman...
London's full of them.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

I beg your indulgance, boy, my mind is far from easy.
For in the once familiar streets I feel a chill of ghostly shadows everywhere.
Forgive me.

Antony (spoken)

There is nothing to forgive.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Farewell, Antony.

Antony (spoken)

Mr. Todd, before we part...

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

What is it?

Antony (spoken)

I have honored my promise never to question you.
Whatever brought you to that sorry shipwreck is your affair and yet, over
many weeks of our voyage home,
I've come to think of you as a friend,
and if trouble lies ahead for you in London, if you
need any help...or money.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

No!
(sung)
There's a whole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed...
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
but there's no place like London!
--
There was a barber and his wife
and she was beautiful...
a foolish barber and his wife.
She was his reason for his life...
and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous.
And he was nieve.
There was another man who saw
that she was beautiful...
A biased vulture of the law
who, with a gesture of his claw
removed the barber from his plate!
And there was nothing but to wait!
And she would fall!
So soft!
So young!
So lost and oh so beautiful!

Antony (spoken)

The lady, sir, did she, sir, come?

Sweeney Todd (sung)

Ah, that was many years ago...
I doubt if anyone would know.
(spoken)
Now leave me, Antony.
There is somewhere I must go,
something i must find out.
Now, and alone.

Antony (spoken)

But surely we will meet again before I am off to Plymouth?

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

If you want you may well find me around Fleet Street. I wouldn't wander.
(sung)
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!


The Worst Pies in London Lyrics


Mrs. Lovett

A customer!
Wait! What's your rush?
What's your hurry?
You gave me such a...
fright! I thought you was a ghost!
Half a minute, can't ya sit?
Sit ya down!
Sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks.
Did ya come here for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if my head's a little vague.
Ugh!
What is that?
But you'd think we had the plague.
From the way that people
keep avoiding!
No you don't!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?
Mind you I can hardly blame them!
These are probably the worst pies in London.
I know why nobody cares to take them!
I should know!
I make them!
But good? No...
The worst pies in London...
Even that's polite! The worst pies in London!
If you doubt it take a bite!

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Ugh!

Mrs. Lovett (sung)

Is that just, disgusting?
You have to concede it!
It's nothing but crusting!
Here drink this, you'll need it.
The worst pies in London
And no wonder with the price of meat
what it is
when you get it.
Never thought I'd live to see the day.
Men'd think it was a treat
findin' poor
animals
what are dyin' in the street.
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop.
Does a business, but I notice something weird.
Lately, all her neighbors cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her!
What I calls,
enterprise!
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.
No denying times is hard, sir!
Even harder than the worst pies in London.
Only lard and nothing more-
Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty?
It looks like it's molting!
And tastes like...we'll pity.
A woman alone...with limited wind
And the worst pies in London!
Ah, sir
Times is hard.
Times is hard.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Isn't that a room up there? Over the shop?
If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out? Should bring in something...

Mrs. Lovett (spoken)

Up there? Huh, no one'll go near it.
People think it's haunted.
You see years ago something happened, something not very nice.



Poor Thing Lyrics


Mrs. Lovett

There was a barber and his wife.
And he was beautiful...
A proper artist with a knife,
but they transported him for life.
And he was beautiful...
(spoken)
Barker his name was.
Benjamin Barker.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Transported? What was his crime?

Mrs. Lovett

Foolishness...
He had this wife, ya see.
Pretty little thing,
silly little nit.
Had her chance for the moon on a string...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
There were these two, ya see...
Wanted her like mad!
One of them a judge
one of them his beadle!
Everyday they'd nudge and they'd weadle!
Still she wouldn't budge from her needle!
Too bad!
Pure thing!
So they merely shipped them for blighter off south, they did!
Leaving her with nothing but grief and a year old kid!
Did she use her head even then? Oh no, God forbid!
Poor fool!
Ah, but there was worse yet to come!
Poor thing!
(spoken)
Johanna, that was the baby's name. Pretty little Johanna.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Go on...

Mrs. Lovett (spoken)

My, but you do like a good story, don't you?
(sung)
Well, Beadle calls on her all poor light
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
The judge, he tells her, is all contright.
He blames himself for her dreadful plight.
She must come straight to his house tonight!
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
Of course when she goes there...
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
They're having this ball all in masks.
There's no one she knows there!
Poor dear!
Poor thing!
She wonders, tormented and drinks!
Poor thing!
The judge has repented, she thinks.
Poor thing!
"Oh where is Judge Turpin?" she asks...
He was there, alright!
Only not so contright!
She wasn't no match for such craft, ya see.
And everyone thought it so drull.
They figured she had to be daft, ya see.
So all of them stood there and laughed, ya see!
Poor soul!
Poor thing!

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

Would no one have mercy on her!?

Mrs. Lovett (spoken)

So it is you, Benjamin Barker!

Sweeney Todd (spoken)

NOT BARKER! NOT BARKER! (taking her by the neck)
TODD NOW! SWEENEY TODD!

Mrs. Lovett (spoken)

Oh, you poor thing...
You poor thing...
Wait.
See?
When they come for the little girl, I hid 'em.
I thought, "who knows?"
maybe the poor silly blighter will be back again someday and need 'em.
Cracked in the head, wasn't I?
Times as bad as they are I maybe could've got five or ten quid for 'em any day. See?



Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter - My Friends Lyrics


My Friends
Sweeney Todd

These are my friends.
See how they glisten.
See this one shine...
How he smiles in the light.
My friend.
My faithful friend...
Speak to me friend.
Whisper...
I'll listen.
I know, I know you've been locked
out of sight
all these years, like me
My friend...
well I've come home to find you waiting.
Home, and we're together!
And we'll do wonders.
Won't we?
You there, my friend?

Mrs. Lovett

I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd
If you only knew, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
You're warm in my hand.
You've come home!
Always had a fondness for you, I did.


Sweeney Todd (simultaneously)

Come let me hold you.
Now, with a sigh, you grow warm in my hand.
My friend!
My clever friend...

Mrs. Lovett

Never you fear, Mr. Todd
You can move in here, Mr. Todd
Mr. Todd, splendors.
You never have dreamed
all your days
will be yours!
I'm your friend
and you're mine!
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T.

Sweeney Todd (simultaneously)

Rest now, my friends.
Soon, I'll unfold you.
Soon you'll know splendors
You never have dreamed
all you days,
my lucky friends
'Til now your shine was merely silver.
Friends, you shall drip rubies, you'll soon drip precious rubies...
(spoken)

At last! My arm is complete again!



Jayne Wisener - Green Finch and Linnett Bird Lyrics


Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can you remain
staring at the rain
maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing
anything?
How is it you sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming?
Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's safer in cages
singing when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.



Laura Michelle Kelly, Jamie Campbell Bower - Alms Alms Lyrics


Alms Alms
Beggar Woman

Alms, alms for a miserable woman!
On a miserable chilly morning
Thank ya, sir thank ya

Antony (spoken)

Mam, could you tell me who’s house this is?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.

Antony (spoken)

And the young lady who resides there?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
Keeps her snug he does. All locked up.
So don't you go trespassin' there or it’s a good whipping for you
or any other young man with mischief on his mind!
(sung)
How would ya like a little muff dear
A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush.
Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that you got plenty there to push.
Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!





Jamie Campbell Bower and Johnny Depp - Johanna Lyrics


Anthony:
I feel you Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at you window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
And are you beautiful and pale,
With yellow hair,
Like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale
The way I've dreamed you were
Johanna

Anthony:
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
And if you're beautiful, what then,
With yellow hair,
Like wheat?
I think we shall not meet again
My little dove
My sweet
Johanna

Anthony:
I'll steal you
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
Good-bye Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine Johanna
I'm fine

Anthony:
Johanna

Beggar Woman:
Smoke!
Smoke!
Sign of the Devil!
Sign of the Devil!
C'iy on fire!
Witch!
A witch!
Smell that Sir?
An evil smell!
Ev’ry night at the Vesper’s Bell!
Smoke that comes from the mouth of Hell!
C'iy on fire!
C'iy on fire!
Mischief!
Mischief!
Mischief!

Sweeney Todd:
And if I never hear your voice,
My turtledove,
My dear
I still have reason to rejoyce,
The way ahead is clear
Johanna

Anthony (same time as Mr.Todd [below]):
I feel you
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
And in the darkness
When I'm blind with what I can't forget
It's always morning in my mind
My little lamb
My pet
Johanna
You stay Johanna
(Anthony: Johanna)
The way I've dreamed you are
Oh look Johanna
A star
(Anthony: Buried sweetly in your yellow hair)
A shooting star

Beggar Woman:
There!
There!
Somebody!
Somebody!
Look up there!
Didn't I tell you?
Smell that air!
C'iy on fire!
Quick! Sir!
Run and tell!
More and more like a witch's spell!
There it is!
There it is!
The unholy smell!
Tell it to the Beadle, and police as well!
Tell 'em!
Tell 'em!
Help!
Please!
C'iy on fire!
C'it on fire!
Mischief!
Mischief!

Sweeney Todd:
And though I'll think of you, I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less
As everyday goes by
Johanna

Anthony:
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
And you'd be beautiful and pale
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna

Anthony:
I feel you
Johanna

Sweeney Todd:
Wake up,
Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn Johanna
To say
Good-bye

Anthony:
I'll steal you

Pirelli’s Miracle Elixer
Toby
Ladies and gentlemen!
May I have your attention, please!
Do you wake every morning in shame and despair,
to discover your pillow is covered with hair,
or what not should be there?

Well, ladies and gentlemen,

Gentleman, you are about to see something

On the top of my head

True, sir, true.
Was it quick sir?
Did it in a tick, sir,
Just like an elixir
Ought to do!

Does Pirelli's
Stimulate the growth, sir?
You can have my oath, sir,
'Tis unique.

Rub a minute
Stimulatin', i'nt?
Soon you'll have to thin it
Once a week!

Sweeney Todd

Mrs. Lovett

Mrs. Lovett (said with Sweeney)

Sweeney Todd (said with Lovett)

Sacha Baron Cohen, Johnny Depp, Tomothy Spall - The Contest Lyrics


PIRELLI (sung)
I am Adolfo Pirelli
Da king of da barbers
Da barber of kings
E Buon Giorno, good day
I blow you a kiss

And I, da so famous Pirelli
I wish-a to know-a who has-a the nerve-a to say
My elixir is piss!
Who says this?

TODD (spoken)
I do. I’m Mr. Sweeney Todd from Fleet Street. I have opened a bottle of Pirelli’s Elixir and I say to you, it is nothing but
an arrant fraud, concocted from piss and ink. Furthermore, Signor, I have serviced no kings, yet I wager that I can shave a
cheek with ten times more dexterity than any street mountebank.

PIRELLI (spoken)
You hear dis foolish man? Now please you will see how he will regret his folly!

TODD (spoken)
Who’s for a free shave? Will Beadle Bamford be the judge?

BAMFORD (spoken)
Glad, as always to oblige my friends and neighbours! The fastest, smoothest shave, is the winner!

PIRELLI (sung)
Now signorini, signori
We mix-a da lather
But first-a you gather

Around signorini, signori
You looking a man
Who had-a da glory
To shave-a da pope

Misterr Sweeney, whoever
I beg-a da pardon
You’ll probably say-a it was only a cardinal

Nope!
It was-a da pope!

To shave-a da face
To cut-a da hair
Require a grace
Require da flare

For if-a you slip
You nick da skin
You clip-a da chin
You rip-a da lip a bit beyond-a repair

To shave-a da face
Or even a part
Widout it-a smart
Require da heart

Not just-a da flash
It take-a Panash
It take-a da passion for da art

To shave-a da face
To trim-a da beard
To make-a da bristle
Clean like a whistle
Dis is from early infancy
Da talent give to me by God

It take-a da skill
It take-a da brains
It take-a da will
To take-a da pains
It take-a da pace
It take-a da grace

BAMFORD (spoken)
The winner--is Todd!



Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter - Wait Lyrics


Wait
Mrs. Lovett(spoken)
It’s not much of a chair but it’ll do. Was was me poor Albert’s chair. Sat in it all day long he did till half his leg give
out with gout.
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
Why doesn’t the beadle come? Before the week is out. That’s what he said.
Mrs. Lovett (spoken)
He said ‘before the week is out’. It’s only Tuesday.
(sung)
Easy now,
Hush, love, hush,
Don't distress yourself,
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush,
Wait.

Hush, love, hush,
Think it through.
Once it bubbles, then
What's to do?
Watch it close.
Let it brew.
Wait.

I've been thinkin' flowers,
Maybe daisies,
To brighten up the room!
Don't you think some flowers,
Pretty daisies,
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait,
Love, wait.

Sweeney Todd (spoken)
And the judge? When will I get to him?

Mrs. Lovett (spoken)
Can't you think of nothin' else?
Always broodin' away on your wrongs
what happened heaven knows how many years ago!
(sung)
Slow, love, slow.
Time's so fast.
Now goes quickly, see
Now it's past!
Soon will come,
Soon will last.
Wait.

Don't you know,
Silly man?
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan!
All good things
Come to those who can
Wait.

Gillyflowers, maybe,
'Stead of daisies...
I dunno though...
What do you think?

Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall - Ladies in Their Sensitivities Lyrics


Ladies and their Sensitivities

Judge (spoken)
Walk home with me, for I have news for you
In order to shield her from the evils of this world,
I have decided to marry Johanna next Monday.

Beadle (spoken)
Ah, sir happy news.

Judge (spoken)
Strange, when I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance.

Beadle (sung)
Excuse me my lord
May I request my lord,
Permission my lord to speak?

Forgive me if I suggest my lord
You’re looking less than your best my lord,
There’s powder upon your vest my lord,
And stubble upon your cheek.

And ladies my lord
Are weak

Judge (spoken)
Perhaps if she greets me cordially upon my return I shall give her a small gift.

Beadle (sung)
Ladies in their sensitivities my lord,
Have a fragile sensibility.
When a girl’s emergent,
Probably it’s urgent,
You differ to her gentility, my lord.

Personal disorder cannot be ignored,
Given their gentile proclivities.
Meaning no offense,
It happens they resents it,
Ladies in their sensitivities my lord.

Judge (spoken)
Stubble you say?
Perhaps at times I am over hasty with my morning ablutions.

Beadle (sung)
Fret not though my lord,
I know a place my lord,
A barber my lord of skill.
Thus armed with a shaven face my lord,
Some eau de cologne to grace my lord,
And musk to enhance the chase my lord,
You’ll dazzle the girl until.

Judge (spoken)
Until??

Beadle (sung)
She bows to your every will

Judge (spoken)
Perhaps you may be right, take me to him.


Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman - Pretty Women Lyrics


Sweeney Todd
What can I do for you today sir? Stylish trimming of the hair? Soothing skin massage. Sit sir. Sit.

Judge Turpin
You see sir a man infatued with love. Her ardent amd eager slave. So fetch the pomade and pumice stone
and lend me a more seductive tone
a sprinkling perhaps of French cologne but first sir I think a shave.

Sweeney Todd
The closest I ever gave
*whistles*

Judge Turpin
In a merry mood today Mr. Todd?

Sweeney Todd
Tis your delight sir catching fire from one man to the next.

Judge Turpin
Tis true sir love can still inspire the blood to pound the heartly pyre. What more

Sweeney Todd
What more?

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd
Can man require

Judge Turpin
Than love sir

Sweeney Todd
More than love sir

Judge Turpin
What sir?

Sweeney Todd
Women

Judge Turpin
Ah yes women

Sweeney Todd
Pretty women
Now then my friend.
Now to your purpose.
Patience. Enjoy it.
Revenge can’t be taken in haste.

Judge Turpin
Make haste and in this work you’ll be commended sir

Sweeney Todd
My lord…
And who may it be said is your intended sir?

Judge Turpin
My ward
Pretty as a rose bud

Sweeney Todd
Pretty as her mother?

Judge Turpin
Huh? What was that?

Sweeney Todd(spoken)
Nothing sir. Nothing.
(sung)
Pretty women
Fascinating...
Sipping coffee,
Dancing...
Pretty women
Are a wonder.
Pretty women!

Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air.
Pretty women

Judge Turpin
Silhouetted...

Sweeney Todd
Stay within you,

Judge Turpin
Glancing...

Sweeney Todd
stay forever,

Judge Turpin
Breathing lightly...

Sweeney Todd
Pretty women,

Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd(together and alternating)
Pretty women!

Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair,
Combing out their hair then they leave
Even when they leave you and vainish they somehow can still can remain there with you
Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there
Ah! Pretty women,

Sweeney Todd
At their mirrors,

Judge Turpin
In their gardens,

Sweeney Todd
Letter-writing,

Judge Turpin
Flower-picking,

Sweeney Todd
Weather-watching.

Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin
How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living,
Pretty women! Sir, pretty women!
Yes pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women

Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Jamie Campbell Bower - Epiphany Lyrics


Todd:(shouting) Out I say out!!

Lovett:(spoken) All this running and shouting about what's happened?

Todd:(spoken)I had him then

Mrs.Lovett:(spoken) I know the Sailor busted in i saw them both runnin down the street and i said to myself...

Todd: No I had him! His throat was there beneath my hand. I had swear I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.

Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush
I keep telling you -

Todd: When?

Mrs.Lovett:What's your rush?

Todd:Why do I wait?
You told me to wait -
Now he'll never come again.
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one they put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.

Now we all deserve to die
Even you Mrs. Lovett...even I
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die.

And I'll never see Johanna
No I'll never hold my girl to me - finished!
(shouted) Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
You sir, you sir? Welcome to the grave.

I will have vengenance.
I will have salvation.
(shouted) Who sir, you sir?
No one in the chair, come on! Come on!
Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders.
You sir - anybody.
Gentlemen don't be shy!

Not one man, no, no ten men.
Not a hundred can assuage me -
I will have you!
And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on dishonorable throats.
And my Lucy lies in ashes
And I'll never see my girl again.

But the work waits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of joy!

A Little Priest Lyrics


MRS. LOVETT:
Seems a downright shame...
TODD: Shame?
LOVETT:
Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has!
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts to be erased...
Think of it as thrift,
As a gift,
If you get my drift!

No?

Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is,
When you get it,
If you get it...

TODD: HAH!
LOVETT:
Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[Simultaneously]

TODD:
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion
LOVETT:
Well, it does seem a waste...

TODD:
Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
LOVETT:
It's an idea...

TODD:
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
LOVETT:
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

TODD:
How choice!

How
Rare!

TODD:
For what's the sound of the world out there?
LOVETT:
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
TODD:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!
LOVETT:
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!
TODD:
It's man devouring man, my dear!
BOTH:
And [LOVETT: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

TODD: (spoken) These are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!
LOVETT: Here we are, now! Hot out of the oven!
TODD: What is that?

LOVETT:
It's priest. Have a little priest.
TODD:
Is it really good?
LOVETT:
Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.
TODD:
Awful lot of fat.
LOVETT:
Only where it sat.
TODD:
Haven't you got poet, or something like that?
LOVETT:
No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!

TODD: (spoken) Heavenly!
Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,
but then again, not as bland as curate, either!

LOVETT:
And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more!
Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!

Lawyer's rather nice.
TODD:
If it's for a price.
LOVETT:
Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!
TODD:
Anything that's lean.
LOVETT:
Well, then, if you're British and loyal,
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it's clean.
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!
TODD:
Is that squire,
On the fire?
LOVETT:
Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!
TODD:
Looks thicker,
More like vicar!
LOVETT:
No, it has to be grocer --
It's green!

TODD:
The history of the world, my love --
LOVETT:
Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!
TODD:
Is those below serving those up above!
LOVETT:
Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!
TODD:
How gratifying for once to know
BOTH:
That those above will serve those down below!

LOVETT: (spoken) Now let's see, here... We've got tinker.
TODD: Something... pinker.
LOVETT: Tailor?
TODD: Paler.
LOVETT: Butler?
TODD: Subtler.
LOVETT: Potter?
TODD: Hotter.
LOVETT: Locksmith?

Lovely bit of clerk.
TODD:
Maybe for a lark.
LOVETT:
Then again there's sweep
If you want it cheap
And you like it dark!
Try the financier,
Peak of his career!
TODD:
That looks pretty rank.
LOVETT:
Well, he drank,
It's a bank
Cashier.
Never really sold.
Maybe it was old.
TODD:
Have you any Beadle?
LOVETT:
Next week, so I'm told!
Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and
Notice 'ow well it's been greased...
Stick to priest!

(spoken) Now then, this might be a little bit stringy,
but then of course it's... fiddle player!
TODD: No, this isn't fiddle player -- it's piccolo player!
LOVETT: 'Ow can you tell?
TODD: It's piping hot!
LOVETT: Then blow on it first!

TODD:
The history of the world, my sweet --
LOVETT:
Oh, Mr. Todd,
Ooh, Mr. Todd,
What does it tell?
TODD:
Is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat!
LOVETT:
And, Mr. Todd,
Too, Mr. Todd,
Who gets to sell!
TODD:
But fortunately, it's also clear
BOTH:
That [L: But] ev'rybody goes down well with beer!

LOVETT: (spoken)
Since marine doesn't appeal to you, 'ow about... rear admiral?
TODD: Too salty. I prefer general.
LOVETT: With, or without his privates? "With" is extra.

TODD: What is that?
LOVETT:
It's fop.
Finest in the shop.
And we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd on top!
And I've just begun --
Here's the politician, so oily
It's served with a doily,
Have one!
TODD:
Put it on a bun.
Well, you never know if it's going to run!
LOVETT:
Try the friar,
Fried, it's drier!
TODD:
No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy!
LOVETT:
Then actor,
That's compacter!
TODD:
Yes, and always arrives overdone!
I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!

LOVETT: (spoken) Wait! True, we don't have judge yet,
but we've got something you might fancy even better.
TODD: What's that?
LOVETT: Executioner!

TODD:
Have charity towards the world, my pet!
LOVETT:
Yes, yes, I know, my love!
TODD:
We'll take the customers that we can get!
LOVETT:
High-born and low, my love!
TODD:
We'll not discriminate great from small!
No, we'll serve anyone,
Meaning anyone,
BOTH:
And to anyone
At all!



Jamie Campbell Bower, Johnny Depp, Laura Michelle Kelly - Johanna (Reprise) Lyrics


I feel you, Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
buried sweetly in your yellow hair,
Johanna

And are you beautiful and pale, with yellow hair, like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale, the way I've dreamed you were,
Johanna
And if you're beautiful what then with yellow hair, like wheat
I think we shall not meet again my little dove, my sweet
Johanna

I'll steal you, Johanna

Goodbye, Johanna
You're gone, and yet you're mine
I'm fine, Johanna, I'm fine

Smoke! Smoke! Sign of the devil, sign of the devil, set it on fire
Witch! Witch! Smell it sir, an evil smell, every night at the Vespers' bell, smoke that comes from the mouth of hell,
set it on fire
MIschief, mischief! Mischief!

And if I never hear your voice, my turtle-dove, my dear
I still have reason to rejoice the way your head is clear
Johanna

I feel you,
And in that darkeness when I'm blind with what I can't forget
Johanna
It's always morning in my mind, my little lamb, my pet
Johanna

You stay, Johanna
Johanna
The way I dreamed you were
Oh look, Johanna, a star
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
A shooting star

There, there! Somebody somebody, look up there, didn't I tell you, smell that air, set it on fire
Quick, Sir, run and tell! Go on 'a Mole little ratchet spell, there it is, there it is, the ungodly smell, tell it to the
fiddle and police as well, tell 'em, tell 'em, help, fiend!
set it on fire
set it on fire
Mischief, mischief!

And though I'll think of you I guess, until the day I die,
I think I miss you less and less as every day goes by
Johanna

And you'd be beautiful and pale and look too much like her
If only angels could prevail we'd be the way we were
Johanna
I feel you, Johanna
Wake up, Johanna!
Unnerve the bright red day
We learn Johanna, to say
Goodbye

I'll steal you



Edward Sanders, Helena Bonham Carter - God, That's Good! Lyrics


TOBIAS:
Ladies and gentlemen,
May I have your attention, perlease?
Are your nostrils aquiver and tingling as well
At that delicate, luscious ambrosial smell?
Yes they are, I can tell.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
That aroma enriching the breeze
Is like nothing compared to its succulent source,
As the gourmets among you will tell you, of course.
Ladies and gentlemen,
You can't imagine the rapture in store —
(Indicating the shop)
Just inside of this door!
(Beating his usual drum)
There you'll sample
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies,
Savory and sweet pies,
As you'll see.
You who eat pies,
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies
Conjure up the treat pies
Used to be!
(TOBIAS and customers sing, overlapping)

MRS. LOVETT (Ringing a bell to attract TOBIAS 's attention)

TOBIAS:
Coming!
'Scuse me . . .
MRS. LOVETT (Indicating a beckoning customer):

MRS. LOVETT:
Quick, now!
CUSTOMER (Licking their fingers):

And stop worrying, dear.
Now, now . . .
CUSTOMERS:

Will you wait there, TODD:
Coolly, You'll come back
'Cos my customers truly When it comes?

customers:
God, that's good that is delicious!
(During the following a huge crate appears high on a crane and moves slowly downstage to the tonsorial parlor. TODD sees it)
MRS. LOVETT:
What's my secret?

Frankly, dear — forgive my candor —
Family secret,
All to do with herbs.
Things like being
Careful with your coriander,

Quick, though, the trade is brisk.
TODD:
But it's here!
MRS. LOVETT:
It's where?
TODD:
Coming up the stair!
MRS. LOVETT:
(Holding up the tray)
I'll get rid of this lot
As they're still pretty hot
And then I'll be there!
TODD:
It's about to be opened
Or don't you care?
No, I'll be there!
I will be there!
But they'll never be sold
If I let 'em get cold —
But we have to prepare!
(During the/allowing, the crate is lowered to the tonsorial parlor)
MRS. LOVETT (Without pausing for breath, smiling to a customer):
Oh, and
Incidentally, dearie,
You know Mrs. Mooney.
Sales've been so dreary —
(Spots the BEGGAR WOMAN again)
Toby—!
(To the same customer)
Poor thing is penniless.
(Indicating BEGGAR WOMAN, to TOBIAS)
What about that loony?
(To the same customer, as TOBIAS shoos the BEGGAR WOMAN away again)
Lookin' sort of beery—
Oh well, got her comeuppance —
(Hawklike, to a rising customer)
And that'll be thruppence — and
CUSTOMERS:

MRS. LOVETT:

God, that's good that is de have you
Licious ever tasted smell such
Oh my God what more that's pies good!
(MRS. LOVETT goes up to the tonsorial parlor, entering as TODD opens the crate, revealing an elaborate barber chair)
TODD and MRS. LOVETT (Swooning with admiration):
Oooohhhh! Oooohhhh!
(The empty crate swings away on the crane)
TODD:
Is that a chair fit for a king,
A wondrous neat
And most particular chair?
You tell me where
Is there a seat
Can half compare
With this particular thing!
I have a few
Minor adjustments
To make —
They'll take
A moment.
I'll call you . ..
MRS. LOVETT:
It's gorgeous!
It's gorgeous!
It's perfect!
It's gorgeous!
You make your few
Minor adjustments.
You take your time,

TODD (Looking at the chair, as MRS. LOVETT goes back to the garden):
I have another friend . ..
TOBIAS:
(To the customers)
Is that a pie fit for a king,
A wondrous sweet
And most delectable thing?
You see, ma'am, why
There is no meat
MRS. LOVETT:

MRS. LOVETT:

TODD:

I just want to be sure.

MRS. LOVETT:
When you pound the floor,

TODD:

(He demonstrates on the frame of the window)
Three rimes.
(He does it again; she nods impatiently)
And then you —
(She knocks at the air two times)
Three rimes —
(She knocks heavily and wearily on the wall)
If you —
(She knocks again, rolling her eyes skyward)
Exactly.
customers:
More hot pies!
MRS. LOVETT:
Gawd!
CUSTOMERS:
More hot!
MRS. LOVETT (Over her shoulder to them):
Right!
CUSTOMERS:
More pies!
TODD (Seeing her attention waver):
Psst!
CUSTOMERS:
More!
MRS. LOVETT:
Wait!
(She runs into the bakehouse, which we see for the first time. Upstage are the large baking ovens. Downstage is a
butcher's-block table, on which stands a bizarre meat-grinding machine. In the wall is the mouth of a chute leading down from
the tonsorial parlor. Upstage is a trap door leading down to an invisible cellar. While music continues under, TODD takes a
stack of books tied together, puts it in the chair, then pounds three times on the floor. MRS. LOVETT responds by knocking
three times on the mouth of the chute. TODD pulls a lever in the arm of the chair. The chair becomes a slide and the books
disappear through a trap. Music. The books reappear from the hole in the bakehouse wall and plop on the floor. The chair
resumes its normal position. MRS. LOVETT knocks three times excitedly on the chute; TODD responds by pounding on the floor
three times)
CUSTOMER:
More hot pies!
(MRS. LOVETT hurries out of the bakehouse)
More hot! More pies!
(TODD resumes tinkering happily with the chair)
More! Hot! Pies!
MRS. LOVETT and TOBIAS (To the customers):
Eat them slow and
Feel the crust, how thin I (she) rolled it!
Eat them slow, 'cos
Every one's a prize!
Eat them slow, 'cos
That's the lot and now we've sold it!
(She hangs up a "Sold Out" sign)
Come again tomorrow — !
MRS. LOVETT (Spotting something along the street):
Hold it —
CUSTOMERS:
More hot pies!
MRS. LOVETT:
Bless my eyes — !
(For she sees the man with cap, from Act I, approaching the barber sign. He looks up and rings TODD 's bell — three times)
Fresh supplies!
(TODD leans out, sees the man, beckons him up; the man starts up the steps. TODD holds his razor. They both freeze. MRS.
LOVETT takes down the "Sold Out" sign and turns back to the customers)
MRS. LOVETT:
How about it, dearie?
Be here in a twinkling!
Just confirms my theory —
Toby—!
God watches over us.
Didn't have an inkling . . .
Positively eerie . . .
TOBIAS:
Is that a pie
Fit for a king,
A wondrous sweet
And most delectable
Thing?
You see, ma'am, why
There is no meat pie

(As TOBIAS leads the BEGGAR WOMAN off again, Mrs. Lovett runs back to the pie-shop)
CUSTOMERS (Starting with their mouths full, gradually swallowing and singing clearly):
God, that's good that is de have you
Licious ever tasted smell such
Oh my God what perfect more that's
Pies such flavor
(MRS. LOVETT relaxes in thepie-shop with a mug of ale)
God, that's good!!!

MRS. LOVETT:

(she kisses Todd)
Ooh, Mr. Todd! (kiss)
I'm so happy! (kiss)
I could (kiss)
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? (kiss)
What I dream (kiss)
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go,
In a year or so?
Don't you want to know?

TODD: (spoken) Yes, yes, of course.

LOVETT: Do you really want to know?

TODD: (spoken) Yes, I do, I do.

LOVETT: (spoken) I've always had this dream...
Ever since I was a skinny little slip of a thing and my rich Aunt
Nettie used to take me down to the seaside August Bank Holiday...
The pier... Makin' little castles in the sand...
Ooh, I can still feel me toes wigglin' around in the briney!

By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we'd almost own,
Down by the sea!
Wouldn't that be smashing?

TODD: Anything you say...

LOVETT:
With the sea at our gate, we'll have kippered herring
Wot have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering!
Ev'ry night, in the kip, when we're through our kippers,
I'll be there slippin' off your slippers!
By the sea,
With the fishies splashing!
By the sea!
Wouldn't that be smashing?

TODD: Anything you say, anything you say...

LOVETT:
I can hear us wakin,'
The breakers breakin,'
The seagulls squawkin,'
'Hoo, hoo!'
I do me bakin,'
Then I go walkin'
With you-hoo!
Yoo-hoo!
I'll warm me bones on the esplanade,
Have tea and scones with me gay young blade,
Then I'll knit a sweater
While you write a letter
Unless we've got better to do-hoo!

TODD: Anything you say...

LOVETT:
Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me and the English Channel!
In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy,
We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don'tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We'll grow old together!
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!

(spoken)
Oh, I can see us now, in our bathing dresses!
You in a nice, rich navy, and me... stripes, perhaps.

It'll be so quiet,
That who'll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn't try it,
Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter,
I'll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!

By the sea, in our nest, we could share our kippers
With the odd payin' guest from the weekend trippers,
Have a nice sunny suite for the guest to rest in,
Now and then, you could do the guest in!
By the sea,
Married nice and proper!
By the sea,
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!





Edward Sanders, Helena Bonham Carter - Not While I'm Around Lyrics


TOBY
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry,
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb.
I can do it, put me to it,
Show me something I can overcome.
Not to worry, ma'am...

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

MSR. LOVETTS
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin',
Not while I'm around...

TOBY
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around...

Charlie Wilson's War

Charlie Wilson: These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world... and then we fucked up the endgame.

Gust Avrakotos: A boy is given a horse on his 14th birthday. Everyone in the village says, 'Oh how wonderful.' But a Zen master who lives in the village says, 'We shall see.' The boy falls off the horse and breaks his foot. Everyone in the village says, 'Oh how awful.' The Zen master says, 'We shall see.' The village is thrown into war and all the young men have to go to war. But, because of the broken foot, the boy stays behind. Everyone says, 'Oh, how wonderful.' The Zen master says, 'We shall see.'

Well when it comes to espionage, i am the biggest fan. I watched all three Bourne movies, mission impossible, and most of the recent bond movies(Casino Royale - the best!). Charlie Wilson's War is not about espionage. although it is about how the CIA assisted Afghanistan in their war against the Soviet with the help of a Texas elected official Charlie Wilson in secret(sssshhhh!!) the movie is witty and makes good funny comments on how the government operates. i am mostly entertained and is an inspiring movie.

the movie is said to blame the government for the september 11 attacks. Watch it, see what they mean. I aint tellin.

ELIZABETH - The Golden Age

History has always been an interesting subject to me. In my high school, everyone hated this one history teacher(I will no longer mention his name but i will tell you that everyone had a crush on his wife hehe) except me i guess. This may be in part of me coming to school prepared and not having to be afraid of pop quizzes and recitations in class. I am fascinated with how Hollywod transforms history into a medium everyone can enjoy and actually sit through it for 3 hours. Well i was able to sit through it. It was a well balanced and well modulated storytelling in the director's part.

I noticed the colors are more earthly or warm, it gave a good ambience to the setting. Although during the time, Elizabeth's 'housing' would be comprised of wood panels but the director opted for a more solid look. The character of Elizabeth has changed since the previous version of the movie, still full of life and more courageous than ever but conceals her longing for something missing. She is queen but still human.

A lot of critics claimed that the movie showed a lot of 'anti-catholicism' but on the first movie they also complained about that. I guess thats one thing the director is consistent about. In a statement, director Kapur claims that it is just a matter of difference in interpretation.

Aesthetically, the movie was well made. Wardrobe did a good job. Plus i love the scene where the armada was burning on the sea.

TRIVIA:

In 1588 Infanta Isabel of Spain was 21 years old. The film depicts her at this time as a little girl. The English battle fleet was not 'out-gunned' by the Armada, as Howard is made to claim at a crisis point in the film. None of the fire ships sent towards the Armada actually caused any material damage to the Spanish fleet. They simply caused the fleet to scatter out of formation. Many of the Spanish ships were forced to cut their anchors, however, and this proved to be a factor when the Spanish fleet subsequently encountered the storms in the Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland during their circuitous return to Spain. Many vessels were sunk through being unable to anchor off the rocky coast, so they were driven on-shore by the westerly winds. It is unlikely Raleigh commanded a ship at the battle of Gravelines. Raleigh Trevelyan writes: ‘According to one biographer, Stebbing, Raleigh was among the "many gallant captains", but there is no confirmation of this; if he had been there it would have been without authority. ‘Raleigh’s name, to his regret, hardly appeared in contemporary descriptions of the defeat of the Armada, as indeed was to be the case in subsequent histories. This was because of his being in charge of the land defences; if the Spaniards had been able to attempt a landing, his role would certainly have been a vital one. He was at least able to take pride in the performance of the Ark Royal. His own heavily armed merchantman, the Roebuck, also took part in the battle.Trevelyan adds: ‘According to Hakluyt, Raleigh took part in the battle of Portland Bill on 2 August, like the smart courtiers who rushed down from London, but there is no hint of this in Raleigh's own writings. But more credibly, and according to a Spanish source, he was sent by the Queen with a message to Howard as he neared the French coast. William Camden's (1615) claim that Raleigh had served at sea under Howard from 23 July 1588 is unverified, and it was from London that he was sent to the south coast to 'confer' with Howard. Elizabeth may not have addressed her troops astride a white steed while wearing a suit of shining armour. The real queen did make a personal visit to address her army, and several witnesses or contemporaries do allude to her martial appearance. Most historians are inclined to accept the traditional story that she rode sidesaddle on horseback, carried a marshal's baton, and wore a cuirass, with a page carrying a silver helmet before her. Although the content of her speech was much less subdued than shown in the film, her presence did have a positive effect on the morale of both the troops and their leaders.Bess Throckmorton's pregnancy, which led to her secret marriage to Sir Walter Raleigh and the birth of their son Damerei, actually occurred in the summer of 1591, some three years after the Spanish Armada, not immediately before. Shortly after its birth, the baby was relegated to a wet nurse and presumably died soon thereafter. England didn't stand alone against Spain, and was in fact aided by the Dutch Republic in defeating the Armada. The Dutch had already been fighting the Spanish for twenty years, when Philip of Spain decided to invade England. One of the reasons the Armada was sent, was Elizabeth's continued support for the Dutch cause. A Dutch fleet, led by Justinus of Nassau, prevented the Spanish invasion force from departing from their Flemish ports and join up with the rest of the Armada. A further 27 ships were sent to join the English fleet to fight the main force.

enjoy the videos!! and watch the movie, i recommend it!!

Personal Quotes

"I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away. I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.... I don't want to do this for the rest of my life....I don't want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry. There's so much I want to discover." - Vanity Fair (August 2000)

I prefer to date older women because they don't try to act older like younger girls but because they try to act younger.

"It's a little uncomfortable doing love scenes in armor, but, you know, when the heat's on, the heat's on." - "Access Hollywood" (1996), August 2000.

[about the paparazzi] "Most of the time you don't even know they're there. Now, that's the scary thing. It's really strange and invading, but I'm still working it all out. I try to not let it bother me. I really try and find the humour in all of it. And if I want to swim naked in my pool, I'm still going to do it. I certainly don't want to feel that I have to change everything in my life that I do to cater to them. I just won't let it happen." - National Post, May 2001

"I don't have a technique. I've never been a believer in having one set technique on how to act. There are no rules and there is no rulebook. At the end of the day, it all comes down to my instincts. That's the one thing that guides me through every decision professionally. Socially, also. That's my technique. Yeah, you read through the script 100 times. I guess I have little characteristics about myself. Sometimes, most often than not, once we start shooting I won't look at the script at all until we finished shooting. It's kind of like it's been imprinted in my head during rehearsals. You just let it go." - Reel.com, May 2001

"I'm the worst auditioner, really, really bad. I mean, you're being judged and I'm just so aware of it that it consumes me. I can't relax, I'm tied in knots, so the voice is very taut and tense. You're so aware that you're acting 'cause you're sitting across from this lady with a piece of paper who's going, ''I'm. Going. To. Shoot. You. If. You. Don't. Blah, blah, blah,'' in this emotionless voice. It's foul. I hate it." - EW.com, May 2001

People just love to bash LA. People say it's so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it's truly a wonderful place. You don't have to go to the places where that stuff goes on. You don't have to go to Beverly Hills, you don't have to go to the parties. You can live up in the Lower Canyon and live such a perfectly healthy, beautiful, fun life with all your friends. You can drive two hours one way and be at the Joshua Tree desert, two hours one way you're skiing at Big Bear. Sure, it can get full-on and that's why it's good to get out. But it's too easy just to say, "Nup, I hate it. I'm not living there anymore. - NW Magazine, March 2000

[about growing up with his mom and his sisters] I learned respect for women, and patience. You grow up with all those women around you...you learn to wait your turn. - Cosmopolitan, June 1998

I never studied acting in Australia. I never had an empty stage and black pajamas to run around and express myself.

"The challenge was to capture the stillness of him. I have kind of semi-frantic, nervous energy. Harnassing that was something I thought I'd have to work out. Shooting in the wilderness, the stillness became like this innate quality." -on his character "Ennis" in Brokeback Mountain (2005).

Brooklyn seems to me the closest thing in America to Europe. The neighbors and locals are beautiful people. It's like a village.

She's my soul mate and we couldn't love each other any more than we do already. We're like two peas in a pod. [On his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter, Michelle Williams].

"Matilda is adorable, and beautifully observant and wise. Michelle an I love her so much. Becoming a father exceeds all my expectations. It's the most remarkable experience I've ever had - it's marvelous." [On daughter Matilda and being a father]

My life right now is, I wouldn't say reduced to food, but my duties in life are that I wake up, cook breakfast, clean the dishes, prepare lunch, clean those dishes, go to the market, get fresh produce, cook dinner, clean those dishes and then sleep if I can. And I love it. I actually adore it.

I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.

[On playing "The Joker" in The Dark Knight (2008)] The Joker, so far, is definitely the most fun I've had with any character. He's just out of control -- no empathy, he's a sociopath, uh, a psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And, uh, I'm just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It's just exceeded any expectations I had of what the experience would be like.

[On his choice of film projects] I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself. I can't say I'm proud of my work. It's the same with everything I do: the day I say 'It's good' is the day I should start doing something else.

[On walking down the red carpet] Like diving into an Olympic pool, swimming the length underwater, then emerging gasping for breath. It's so noisy that it's quiet, you can't hear; the flashlights are so blinding that it's dark, you can't see.

I start to get bored, not with the choices I was making, because I didn't really have a choice. The choices were being made for me -- I was being thrown into projects. So I kind of put the brakes on that. In a sense, I destroyed my career to rebuild it again.

I like to do something I fear. I like to set up obstacles and defeat them. I like to be afraid of the project. I always am. When I get cast in something, I always believe I shouldn't have been cast. I fooled them again. I can't do it. I don't know how to do it. There's a huge amount of anxiety that drowns out any excitement I have toward the project.
