Octavia is best pony.

So, who's excited about the upcoming film adaptation? I think it looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see how the live singing will turn out. I only hope that Russell Crow can do Stars well.

Does anyone have lotion?
*Raises hand*
Is mayonnaise a lotion?

That book was horribly boring, and I read the abridged version.

I was really excited at first, but the clips they posted online really turned me off. Plus, the reviews coming in aren't exactly amazing.

To me, the singing isn't near the quality of the stage production. Which, I sort of assumed that, except from what I heard from the clips, they're singing the songs completely differently. :/

I am looking forward to seeing it.

Unlike most film adaptations of musicals, they're actually singing live for each take as opposed to recording the song then adding it in post-production, which should be interesting.

Yes, which seems to really impact the performances. And not in a good way. I'll withhold judgement until I see it, but my expectations are very low right now.

edit: Have you seen the clips they posted? There's like 5 of them. Just YouTube "Les Miserables clips" and they should show right up.

I think it looks very good. Will watch.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Book was ok. Kind of excited for the movie. Ehh, we'll see.
Seems interesting.

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

I've got a fan!

It looks excellent, you can really tell they did it live and it does the songs justice in my opinion.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Cant wait. Im really looking forward to it.

I really liked the previous movie that had Liam Nielson.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I'm pretty pumped for it!
