Hobbit will be our Christmas movie for the next three years. Hopefully this time around with the Jackson Holiday Tradition there will be no heart attack for the apres theatre event.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

I have never heard/seen/read Le Mis. It wasn't one of the musicals I sought out, don't ask me why. But I do want to go see the movie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I know I'm not the only one who had that where I listened to "On My Own" on repeat and cried a lot. Show of hands for teenaged angst.
Oh, yeah. I lived the cliche, baby.

Jilli, I've been meaning to ask you if you have seen the Addam's Family musical and if it is any good?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
And thus, as is true for so much in life, is better when sung by a cross-dressing rabbit and a hunter with a lisp.
And "Kill the wabbit!" would definitely lose something in the transalation to Italia, German or French.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Theatre and choir geeks were low on the totem pole at my high school. The jocks and cheerleaders were the popular kids. Which led to a huge culture shock for a friend of mine who moved to our school her junior year from a school where the performing types were the kings.
Our high school theater setup was pretty lousy, too. No fly space at all, minimal wings and a fairly shallow stage all placed in the gym of the old high school building across town. They hadn't even bothered to incorporate a theater space when the built the town's "new" high school in the 70s, nor added one when they expanded the building in the 90s.
I was stage manager my senior year and had to coordinate scenery getting carried to and from the stairwells off the wings during set changes due to the lack of space.

Oh yeah, that was me. Still can't hear that song without tearing up. (Outside of that vid someone linked to months ago with the doofus Jonas brother mugging it up as Marius.)

Thrive to spite them
My high school was small enough (actually it was part of a K-12 school) that there really weren't cliques like that. There were popular kids and unpopular kids. My class had 93 students at graduation, the year after me was 100 or so. So the athletes played multiple sports and were in band or whatever.

Sorry, I had a brain glitch. "A Little Fall of Rain" is the instant cry point. "On My Own" teenage angst-fests still happened, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Too old here to link Les Miserables with teenage angst, but I saw it On Broadway during a business trip to NYC during the '90s. 15th row, on the side aisle.
I broke down for "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." I started thinking about all I'd left behind when I transitioned from school to work, and....
Am I the only one that reacts to that one?

move out and draw fire
No, that's my cry point also, Fred.
