Broktun: I am an illiterate heathen.

What is Les Mis about?

In a world where the people are downtrodden, one man steals a loaf of bread and changes his life forever.
This Christmas, you don't need have less....to still be miserable.
-swoosh noise and wipe-
Les Miserables
Come hear the people sing

What is Les Mis about?

It's like Simon and Simon if Rick was an ex-con and and AJ was a hot chick that has a bastard child...and Rick adopts the kid after AJ dies but then Lieutenant "Downtown" Brown remembers that Rick was an ex-con that escaped and chases him around town. Rick is all, awww hell no this baby needs me, plus there is a total race riot about to go down.

So anyway, Lt Brown ends up eating his service revolver in a back alley. Rick get's the bastard girl out of town before shiat gets real.

That's about it...

Tyrosine: Without question I'll go see it but I'd prefer a non-musical version with more Victor Hugo and less Andrew Lloyd Webber.

/I don't appreciate serious drama tainted by the artsy foo foo crowd and I rather doubt a musical is what Hugo had in mind when he wrote the book

Don't worry...when I make my film version I'll be sure and insert a 15 minute long documentary on the history of the Paris Sewer system.

So wait the Wolverine prequel prequel is a musical and has Catwoman in it? WTF this looks horrible.

/looks freaking awesome

It's so weird to see Helena Boham Carter in a role where she plays a slightly demented character while wearing a ton of face make up and elaborate costuming.

What is Les Mis about?

Aliens invade pre-Revolutionary France. Jean Valjean must embark on a quest for three mystic artifacts which, according to legend, can repel the invaders. He teams up with a ragtag group including his stoic sidekick Javert, lovers Cosette and Eponine, and the smitten Marius to save the planet.

This is apparently a musical adaptation.

What is Les Mis about?

It's about a man who steals a loaf of bread. Fugitivarity ensues.

I guess I will retract my vow to never see a film with Sacha Baron Cohen in it.

I think Anne Hathaway is underrated.
She also has connection problems on her cell phone.

And she has very scary lawyers.

I hope they release a corresponding video game. The last Les Mis game had a good group of playable characters. I hope they somehow incorporate Robojean into this movie.

I still haven't figured out what it is less miserable than.

I've never seen it. It looks depressing as hell.

What is Les Mis about?

it's about 3 hours.

/with only 2 songs that they repeat over and over and over, with slightly different lyrics each time

Well, it seems you're a little gay since you will go and see it.

I have no interest in musicals because I'm just not that fabulously inclined.

The Musical: Can't make my shiat up on whether to be a real film or a music video.

What's with this singing crap? I've watched 3 versions of Le Mis, and there was no singing in any of them.

So this is what it takes to melt the collective frozen heart of Farkers? A movie adaption of a lavish, Broadway musical?

/NTTAWWT.

The cameo by Susan Boyle surprised me. I hadn't read about that.

Why does Helena Bonham Carter look the same in every movie she is in?

Meh!

Not enough irrelevant spontaneous dancing.
