Thanks EC

 

What a gent 

 

You are welcome Soozy. Please don't tell Mr Woo it was me... 

Why oh why did they not release a full soundtrack/double CD  My favourite track 'Do You Hear The People Sing' is not on there, nor other favourites 'A Little Fall of Rain' and  'Little People.' V disappointed

Nothing to do with him not having the greatest voice then Rexi?

I thought SBC was fanbloodytastic, same with little Gavroche, loved him

Rexi, I remember saying to my fella, early on in the film, "How come HJ and RC are Irish?"

Ha Ha erinp, brilliant, thanks, I've nicked it x

Yes ...........Do you hear the people is at the end but it's the 'finale' version. Little Drop of Rain was superbly done in the film - can't believe it's not on the soundtrack

 

And .....................I love Russell Crowes singing - I know it's not theatrical but ................it's so heartfelt. stars is my new 'current' fave - I do change a lot though. 

What a looker too, gawjusss

 

 

 

You need to keep your eye on the specialist soundtrack market. They often release expanded versions of scores.

 

I buy a lot of soundtracks on CD. I find that they let the initial surge die down before they release an expanded version - cynical, but the fans will buy again.

 

Companies to look out for are Varese Sarabande, Intrada, FSM and LaLaLand Records. These companies usually release older music from films, but still worth keeping a check on them just in case.

 

If I spot an expanded release I will post on here.

 

 

 

 

LOL Soozy, suppose at least you're not putting up on the bedroom wall

Oooo, thanks EC

I might put it on the headboard ......keep Mr Woo on his toes 

 

Incidentally I always like Enjoiras better than Marius (the guy in the film was particularly good) is it something to do with the character though? Marius is a bit of a self pitying/lovelorn  divvy isn't he? Enjoiras has passion OMO.

the ceiling Sooz... it has to go on the celing!   

Mmmmmmm - yeah good one

 

Can't see Mr woo agreeing to that.

How to give a guy performance anxiety - poor bloke! 

Guess so Soozy, Marius and the grown up Cosette are a bit wet and simpering. I can never get my head around why Cosette is my superfan sister's, (she's watched the film 8 times now!) favourite character  Adult Cosette is probably my least favourite character

After the last set of awards I feel I may have thrown my money away. Purely based on reviews, I backed Helen Hunt at 16/1 and 12/1 for supporting actress. That Ann Hathaway one has just won another award and is anywhere between 1/33 and 1/16 to get Miserable Les a major Oscar.

Why not watch the film and judge for yourself?

Because, rather like the excellent songstress Paloma Faith, I have zero tolerance for musicals.

But, but, but ........don't you love Cabaret? I know it's not 'traditional' but .............you never know until you've tried. Gwan - give it a go.

 

I guess it is to do with character......maybe I saw Aaron Tveit(Enjolras) more fitting to Marius more in looks though. I did quite fancy him in the role of Enjolras too

 

Eddie Redmayne's hair distracted me, it looked styled in quite a modern way(or perhaps to hide a receeding hairline?).

 

 

 

I'm glad Anne Hathaway is getting the recognition she deserves for this role.

Hitler reacts to Russel Crowe as Javert

Warning: sweary words and Soozy you won't like it!

I'm still waiting for my movie poster.

I will watch that a bit later.

 

I'm waiting for my sister to call. She's been to see it this afternoon at my insistence - she's never even seen the show. I'm so jealous - it must be lovely seeing it for the first time all over again

Not my cup of tea at all.The only musicals I like Are "The rocky horror show" and "The Blues Brothers"which is really a great comedy with music in it,rather than a strict musical.

My best friend saw it for the first time last week and LOVED it. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for my parcel from my sis' so I can watch over and over again, as the woman who was supposed to be posting when visiting the UK decided that she didn't want to bring out cos of customs reg's

 

Very funny .............wrong but funny all the same

I finally saw it last night!! Amazing I loved it!!

I thought Hugh Jackman was incredible and i loved that first scene pulling the boat in

 

I went with friends as Mr LB didn't fancy it even tho he enjoyed the stage show - I'm going to try and persuade him to come with me!

Russell Crowe interview

Min's been to see it and gave Russell Crowe the thumbs down

But I'm not sure if that's because she'd seen the Life of Pi a few days before and was still trilling with enthusiasm about that.

 

The sob factor got a 9/10 though so all's not lost

My sis has just phoned - she saw it this afternoon and absolutely loved it. I'm so pleased - I hate it when people don't enjoy it  My girlies friends went to see it the other day and have talked her our of it - they're calling it Tres Mis

 

And ...............I thought Russell Crowe was fab - 

Russell Crowe is not the best singer but he was much better than I thought he would be and, as others have said, his performance means the singing isn't quite so important (if that makes sense)

 It's arrived

On 3rd watching now, Russell Crowe really is a carp singer 

I would disagree - I'd say different to normal cast ensemble of singers but not crap.

 

I think his style of singing suits the brusque/insensitive Javare ....the others sing with sensitivity - Javare is raw.

 

Ilove this

 

I'm going to see it on the 14th................. of March.

 

*twiddles thumbs*

Oooooooooh Kaffy - I'm excited for you!

thanks Soozy... I'll be about the only person in the world who's not seen it by then.  It's coming to a local theatre though (not a cinema) so I know it's comfy and much closer to home.   Only a month and a bit to go 

You must have the patience of a saint Kaffs I was so p'd off that my parcel hadn't arrived last w/e I clicked on one of those links that Pirate posted, I really just couldn't wait to see it again!.....Watching now, Eponine has just died
