Sorry wrong thread
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

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.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

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
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.
They should designate "singing" and "non-singing" showings!
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...

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)
As I said above, Crowe worked for me because acting-wise he was the epitome of Javert. Ditto Anne Hathaway. Seyfried's weakness as a singer stood out because she didn't have much else to offer.
Eddie Redmayne, on the other hand, has a lovely voice and is freakin' ADORABLE.
I thought he did a great job, especially for being one of the "non-singers" in the cast. He was also adorable at the Q&A so I may be biased.
ETA: That damn butterfly drove me crazy!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
