Sweeney Todd
Jimmy the Squid:
Mr. Bean is probably the least intelligent and definately the least funny material that Rowan Atkinson has ever produced. Maybe I am just sick of it because I have watched it since I was about 8 or something but as far as "intelligent humour" goes it is not that far above stuff like Borat. Atkinson's stuff from Not the 9'o'Clock News is quite good and Blackadder and The Thin Blue Line are fantastic.
The thing I like about Sasha Baron Cohen's comedy is not so much what he says but his interactions with other people, specifically with random people on the street. Also this guy never gets out of character and it is amazing. I heard a story about how during the filming of Borat he was walking around New York with Hugh Laurie (it astounds me that some people don't know he is a British comedian) and was still in character for Borat. Long story short he ends up getting punched in the mouth by someone he started talking to. That is commitment.

This is completely based on hearsay(is that how you spell that?) but I heard that he also spent a couple of days in jail and didn't get out of character for that movie.
EDIT: you're right, that was already mentioned in the thread. Sorry about that.

^^ I think I saw that already in this topic, but I don't want to check to see if THAT post was edited.
Rowan Atkinson is funny, but I prefer Blackadder to Bean any day.
Also, the announcement of this movie SO TOTALLY makes up for the fact that the other movie musical I've heard about so far is Mamma fucking Mia, which will be available in theaters starting July 18, 2007.
And consists of the songs of ABBA.

I saw Mamma Mia while I was in New York.
Of all the goddamn musicals we could have gone to, we had to go to Mamma Mia. Stupid choir teacher didn't think to reserve tickets more than a few months in advance.
Lines:
Hey now, I really liked Mamma Mia! But I kind of grew up listening to them, so I have a soft spot for ABBA. Yes, my friends routinely make fun of me for this.
Mr. Bean is only okay to other things I've seen Atkinson in. But as for staying in character, that's something Depp is known for, too. People don't see it often, but there are some actors who do that and I really respect them for it.
