Also, maybe they'd let me bring a giant flag.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Only if you sit in the front row of the balcony, Dana.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My BFF won't go to see this with me, because she knows that I may not be able to restrain the singing.
WRT the clips, Russell Crowe is better than I thought and Amanda Seyfried who I love, is worse. She sounds like Snow White and Sarah Brightman rolled into one (I hate vibrato)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They should designate "singing" and "non-singing" showings!

Sorry wrong thread

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Amanda Seyfried who I love, is worse
Yeah, she sounds reedy. Eddie Redmayne, on the other hand, has a lovely voice and is freakin' ADORABLE.

Yeah, her high voice is seriously vibrato-y. I'm not surprised, though, given how high the part is. Just sad they didn't cast someone with the full vocal chops for it.
I thought Rusell Crowe was mostly shout-singing. Alas.

Yeah, there's more to singing in a musical than just hitting all the notes correctly. There are actual emotions an' stuff that might be relayed quite beautifully by a gifted singer. The movie of Sweeney Todd cracked me up a little -- the supporting characters were such better singers that it made them seem more important to me.
Alas, we live in a stunt-casting world. Though Russel Crowe as Javert might just be worth it. I won't know for sure until I see it half a dozen times.

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.
Sneak preview clips of Les Mis: [link]
And a "Heart Full of Love" continues to be my least favorite song in Les Miz. (Not that Seyfried is remotely helping it.)
Good stuff from the other clips, though. Jackman's Valjean certainly looks like he's been through 19 years of hell.

Yes. This.

I'm going to be earwormed for the next month or so.
Before you say another word, Javert! Before you lock me up like a slave again! Listen to me! There is something I must doooooo...
