Haha, I was pretty young when Sleepy Hollow came out, so I thought it was scary, and then when I saw it again, I thought it was almost ridiculous. Love that movie.
And I have a feeling that it will be kind of gruesome. Just because I know what that musical is about, and I can't really see Tim Burton not having a field day with it. But it's going to have a lot of dark humor.
And it's not coming out Christmas Day exactly, normally when it says "this christmas" that just means in December.

Okay, but dark (or black humour) is alright!! I think I can handle it... but gruesome-ness.. eww... (I'm even keeping away from Eastern Promises because of the violence.. another missed chance to see Vigo Mortensen).
Ohh.. Christmas Day.. so long time.. and so soon.. *starts counting the days*

Well as I've said before, blood and guts don't really bother me. I'm the kind of gal that re-winds decapitations, so I can see how it was done and whether the special effects team did a good job.
And yet, I think if it was a modern film, with modern type violence, it might bother me (not that I've seen any, but I'm guessing). But films like the Patriot (which was quite bloody) and Sleepy Hollow are set so long ago, it doesn't bother me.
Also the gore in Sleepy Hollow is more often than not, used for comic effect. Like when Ichabod is cutting up the Widow and a whole pile of blood spurts into his glasses, and his reaction. It's hilarious. And the all the beheadings shouldn't be funny but it is! I can't help it, but because it's JD/TB film it's meant to be spooky funny, not really scary sppoky, if you know what I mean.

Oh. Well I feel like a royal idiot now. All the previews I've seen said "Coming this Christmas," and when they say that, that really doesn't mean anything. All the Harry Potter movies that came out "this Christmas" came out on like, the 12th.

Well the preview I saw was before it hit the TV and it was a survey about it, could be they went back and edited it.
I went and did a google search though. Said the international release date is December 21st.

Hmm.. not sure when it opens here, don't know how 'international' we are since it's not the US
Yeah, gimli, Í know your geeky obsession with blood, I wish I shared it so I could watch all the classic horror movies, but alas, I am born with too much of an empathetic and sensitive heart....
But I did enjoy the scene in Sleepy Hollow you were referring to!! Thankfully, I have some sense of (black and crazy) humour.... ahem....

Don't get me wrong... I know it is a purely professional interest you have in gore and blood!! I knoweth thy loving, caring self is not contradicting this morbid taste in films!
Hmm... international... yeah, I just know there is an eternity til it comes out!!!!
Hey, how about a movie like Edward Scissorhand... do you think I'd like that one?

I happen to have a morbid sense of enjoyment as well. I love horror movies. Not like slasher movies, necessarily, but other fun stuff. Like Secret Window. Awesome movie.

Haha, Edward Scissorhands is like a bed time story. Everything is perfect in their little town.
And JF, most horror movies can be pretty lame nowadays. I like psychological thrillers, normally those are still up to snuff, but there are some that I just can't help but love...like Nightmare on Elm Street (haha, Johnny's first ever part in a movie), or Scream (a horror parody, and yet still a horror movie.) I'm just a horror movie buff, actually.

Skulls and Grim Reapers... hmm, I can deal with that... (twas a lie, but I feel so left out here among the blood 'n' gore loving peeps).
Awright, I think I might give Edward Scissorhand a try then... it's just looks... freaky... I was afraid he'd start cutting people with his... ehh.. scissorhands!!
How about The Nightmare on Elm Street? Do y'all think I'd be able o watch that?

Haha, Edward Scissorhands you'll have no problem with, it's not gory at all, the very little blood there is is really corny.
Nightmare on Elm Street however, pretty gory. Not really for you, I'm guessing. Unless you like people being impaled and being slammed into walls.
