THIS IS A GOOD POST.
WHOAWHOAWHOA
Apparently a trailer for Les Mis leaked earlier and now I can’t find it anywhere. SOMEONE LINK ME A COPY?
Edit: if you’re interested, there’s a video of the video of part of the leak here: http://www.hypable.com/2012/05/15/les-miserables-trailers/
Anticipation is high for the Dec. 14 release of the big-screen version of one of the most popular stage musicals ever. Though cinematic interpretations of Broadway shows have become more commonplace since Chicago took the 2002 best-picture Oscar, Les Mis represents a new phase in the evolution of the movie musical.
The tale of love, redemption and social unrest that unfolds in 19th-century France — whose dialogue, along with such showstopping numbers as On My Own, is completely sung — will feature live performances instead of following the tradition of actors lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.
Tom Hooper, Oscar-winning director of The King’s Speech, wouldn’t have it any other way.
“If you are miming to a playback, even if the synchronization is done very well, there is a part of you that knows something is off, something is false,” he says. “When it’s live, you believe it so much more. The actors have complete freedom rather than following a recording done three months before.”
Hooper says the results deliver those “spine-tingling moments” he appreciated when he saw the stage show. Fans will get to hear a sampling when a Les Mis teaser premieres on MSN.com Wednesday before it hits theaters Friday.
A TEASER. OH GOD I AM SO EXCITED.
Yes, I am the proud member of an almost irrelevant party. Yes, this sweater is older than I am (Jean Chretien’s 1990 campaign…yikes).
And yes, I stop wearing makeup in the summer.
HOLY CRAP I WANT THIS SWEATER SO MUCH.
I like when you learn a secret about somebody and then you look at the things they say and do in the light of that secret and you understand them a little more and why they are the way they are

Sometimes I read my own tweets and want to RT them because they make me laugh so much. This tweet didn’t get any likes of RTs, which means other people didn’t find it so funny. Anyways, posting it here is as close as I can get to RTing myself…
Remember Fillmore!?
It was canceled due to excessive quality; Disney’s target audience was too young to understand things like Hannibal Lecter.
This. Show. The dialogue, the score, the writing - it’s all pitch perfect.
