Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
In high school, the first soundtrack for Les Miz that I heard was the London cast, and I listened to it repeatedly. But a bunch of my friends had the American cast, and it SOUNDED WRONG to me. I didn't like listening to that version at all.
This was me as well. Though the lyric changes bothered me more than the different singing (though the later irked as well.) Really, American production, you seriously need Javert to sing about putting Valjean "safe behind bars"? Ugh.
Despite being a fan of most musicals, somehow I missed on Les Miz. I've heard bits of the music, but never seen it on stage. I am looking forward to seeing it in the theater. I just hope I don't have to go alone.
So I definitely think I ought not listen to the soundtrack before the movie.
I wouldn't recommend it. It's really a different beast.

I'm so much happier now that I stopped listening to opera recordings immediately before I attend something.
What is it if it is not "safe behind bars"? (I will never rest....til then, this I swear. This I swear by....the Stars). I had the American version, but my favorite was the three cassette all-star version with the whole show. And I did listen to it once, if not twice per day in high school.
It's about poor French people, right? And a bad haircut?
That's as far as my knowledge goes. But if there turned out to be more than one bad haircut, I would not be surprised.
The hardest thing about this movie is not singing along.
Truth. Especially during the crowd scenes.
Oh, Kalshane! You're going to have to make an exception and see this in a big theater.
The issue for us is finding a babysitter.
I ended up having to wait for DVD for both Captain America and Thor and still haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises or Inception or countless other movies well-served by the big screen.

I just had to go check my CDs, and I have the American version. I'm not sure if I have ever listened to the London cast version. All of this is making me very sad that I have lost touch with a high school friend who I used to listen to the soundtrack with and saw the live version with as well. I've tried to find her, but, for a geek, she seems to have no internet presence at all.

Awww, big guy, the sad truth is that one of you goes one night and one of you goes the next night. When you got a pooter in the house sometimes just have to catch a few major cultural events.

Replace "And a bad haircut?" with "And someone steals bread?" and you have me.
