[Quiet Man Cometh]

I liked both myself, and have seem both multiple times but I haven't read any of the Sweeny Todd serials though so I can't comment on comparison to the original, but I don't think I'd bother anyway. I've stopped comparing books and movies all together really. I just find it makes for annoyance or dissapointment. Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton is effectively a new story since it is supposed to take place ten years after the original story. I haven't read Through the Looking Glass or other stuff but for the "Jabberwocky" poem which references the Bandersnatch and the fight with the Jabberwocky. I think I prefer to look at is as a fanciful period piece of sorts rather than as a representation of literature.
