Tim Burton's Man Love for Johnny Depp Knows No Bounds

It's a daunting task to isolate the Stephen Sondheim musical that would have the least commercial appeal as a big-screen release, but Tim Burton has risen to the challenge, moving forward with a DreamWorks production of Sweeney Todd. True to form, he's asked the individual who we, at this point, simply must beginning referring to as his muse -- Johnny Depp -- to play the lead. The feel-good cannibalism film of the decade is slated for a late 2007 release. With any luck this will tie up Depp's schedule long enough that we, as a nation, won't have to cope with Pirates 3 until 2008; at that point, the 17 hours of Mr. Depp drinking gin from potted plants and sporadically penetrating Keira Knightley with a rotted oar while reading Leaves of Grass aloud will casually out-gross the GDP of Finland.

My awful God, this is about the most hysterical post I've come upon! Your wit is dryer than Helen Mirren's (supposed) G-spot. My daily e-diet will now consist of a requisite visit to 'the beet' alongside my other random trollings for Post-Op Transgender-Barbie fashion spreads.
