^And you're also a frequent contributor to that thread.
And now it's Fifty-one. |
||||||
| Sythar |
You introduced a friend to it - and when he returned to London for a visit he booked a seat to see Les Miserables because of you. And he brought you back two t-shirts and his programme!!!
*sighs happily* |
||||||
| Bramblefox |
--You carry 'The Brick', as Les Mis is affectionately nicknamed, everywhere with you. Even though it weighs almost two pounds and makes your shoulder feel like it's going to fall off after carrying it for five hours through various museums.
--You take bits of paper and make them into bookmarks with various characters from Les Mis on it. --You have successfully given your best friend a headache from having the songs run thru their head so much. *pumps fist* |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
You even bring the Brick to a Tolkien camp, where everyone brings LotR, Silmarillion and other less-known books of the Master. (I have a lot of them.)
You also compare LotR to Les Mis and torture poor Tolkienists with it. When your bunch has to do a performance in the camp, you suggest to let the characters sing "One day more", so before the Siege of Gondor, they sing it, in this cast: Frodo: Valjean Aragorn: Marius Arwen: Cosette �owyn: �ponine Faramir: Enjy Witch King: Javert Two Orc Clown Characters (OC-s in our show) Th�nardiers The audience begins to giggle when Frodo begins it, and falls on the grass laughing when �powyne sings. And they are playing noble Elves, Gondorians, Rohirrim etc. 
|
||||||
| Bramblefox |
Oh man...that is so full of win I can't even describe it. *spazzes* Epowyne! Hah! *is rotfl* |
||||||
| Catherine |
Wow. My friend Hannah really is obsessed with Grantaire. She called him R. Its a bit strange.
But she likes Les Mis, so I'm happy! |
||||||
| Fantine |
So did you do this in LOTR or Les Mis costumes? 
|
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
It was in LotR costumes. We played a humorous interpretation of the first half of Book 3, and we had this random "One Day More".
The title was: "King against Steward", and it was really crazy. With a lot of crossover things. |
||||||
| Sythar |
Brunhilde:
1. The mental image of LoTR/LM makes me happy. And broke my brain. 2. Your new sig did exactly the same thing. 3. You're doing it on purpose, aren't you??  please... continue
|
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
Well, I don't know if I can find a pic more  like this. I'll try.
Oh, I like your sig, too. Vidocq looks exactly like Javert. *fangirls* How can one get this book? e-library, anywhere? YKYAOWLMW When you go up to internet, first you check the Mizzie boards. You fill all Les Mis memes you find (can somebody say me good memes?) You randomly burst out in songs or just lines from duets or ensemble parts. In an online RPG, your characters are: 1. a blonde Elven whore who has tbc 2. a blonde Revolutionary who looks like an angel 3. a lawful neutral policeman, whose desciption is totally PQ (including sideburns, uniform, greatcoat, top hat and nightstick), but thank God the lames in that game don't know him. (And... your other characters are also musical-related. I have a widow baker woman who will have an interesting partner...  a man whom I showed George Hearn and now he's a fan, too)

When you're watching the opening ceremonies for the olympics and you think of the following.
1. When Poland came out, you thought of Feuilly. 2. When France came out, you wanted to cheer. (I didn't though.) |
||||||
| Sythar |
YKYOWLMW
1. Whenever anyone says anything against France you get angry. 2. You were watching Fugitive and all you could think of was how you were going to post all the similarities to LM in this thread. Similarities include: Dr. Kimble (Valjean obviously) rescues a guard from a train - very like Valjean's rescue of Fauchelevant. Kimble goes into sewers to escape police. Kimble and Gerard (Javert) face off in sewers, Kimble holds Gerard at gun-point but lets him go. Kimble leaps into the water from a great height and is presumed dead. Kimble is very strong. He carries the guard out of the train wreck, survives a very very big fall into rushing water, and then runs away after said fall (not to mention the hold in his side!). Kimble changes his name/appearance frequently. Gerard refers to himself as the 'Big Dog' (okay... I'm reaching now. Still, I though of Hugo's description of Javert as the dog/dog-wolf. Yeah - I'm obsessed. I know) The mother/son pair who Kimble rooms with are totally the Thernadiers of the film. Kimble believes the police are coming for him when they're really coming for the drug dealer. Not unsimilar to Valjean's jumping to conclusions when Patron Minet hang around outside his house. Kimble escapes out the window and across the rooves. And TLJones/Gerard is definitely Javert! Brunhilde - I wish I knew where to get this book! I found the image while Image/Googling Vidocq. I think my brothers found a copy and tried to get it for my birthday (e-bay - methinks) but they can't speak French and couldn't make the buyer understand what they wanted before the sale closed. |
||||||
| Sythar |
Aheh. You just joined e-bay for the sole purpose of bidding on a Les Mis related item. | ||||||
| Brunnhilde |
Oh, I want to see The Fugitive. I adore Tommy Lee Jones. But now, I could see him better as Valjean. He's in the perfect age and he's a great type.
But Gerard doesn't jump into a river, does he?
YKYAOWLMW - You want to change job and your first thought is: police! I will try. Really.
edit: Today I saw an elder man, he waited for a bus and he hold a loaf of bread. I giggled and turned red and hurried away (while listening guess what in my mp3 player). |
||||||
| Sythar |
Tommy Lee Jones is incredible in the Fugitive. And - he really is much more Javert-like than Valjean-like. He has a wonderful deadpan which he can turn on like a switch (I can imagine Javert totally screwing with people's minds by deadpanning at them - and just staring) he fiddles with stuff while he thinks, and he goes off on tangents.
And Harrison Ford does look quite Valjean-like when he has a big beard. Watch it, there's a plethora of Les Mis references. And it's a fantastic movie.
No, Gerard doesn't jump off a bridge. What happens in the end is what would probably have happened in Les Mis if Valjean had been innocent and Javert had figured it out. A happy ending! Yay! YKYOWLMW - You have a new job and you name everything in your little office after Les Mis things. You name your milk trolley Grantaire (Javert seemed wrong. Javert carrying milk?? And anyway, the milk is at least half green-top and it is about as close to alcohol as I'm likely to get at work.), the bigger milk trolley is Enjolras (always parked near a fire extinguisher, too...), one computer is Javert and the other is Valjean, and the plants are each named after on of the Ami. Oh, and the phone system is Cosette. I am so weird. |
||||||
| annoynmouse |
You have four different full unabridged Bricks, and three abridged books for pictures. You also have a French version!
You also have many a related books, such as The Complete Book of Les Miserables, The books in the Pont-Au-Change series, (which by the way are fantastic, and win MAJOR points because they follow Valjean and Javert opposed to Cosette and Marius like those other two sequels.. *shudders*). You however own the two Cosette sequels that just made you shiver, even though you really have considered burning them. You also have a very... interesting (?) book called Wisdom of Les Miserables, Lessons from the Heart of Jean Valjean. It's like a work book where you fill out questions and it's really not that great. Especially since the author has to go and compare his life and stories with Valjean. 
You have a whole 60 GB iPod that strictly serves as a Les Miserables iPod. I kid you not, it's full of recordings and *coughaudioandvideobootscough*. Your 160 GB iPod, which is full of all your other musicals also has 12 recordings of Les Mis though, because if you for some reason forgot Mizzie, you'd still need to listen to Les Miserables. You have four versions of the TAC. The first Region One release, an Asian release, the new DVD, and a VHS... |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
The site didn't come in yesterday, and were thinking seriously about jumping off a bridge.
You were listening "The Trio" from Morricone, and in your mind there was Valjean, Javert and Th�nardier in a cemetery, gazing each other and ready to draw colts and fire. For those who aren't familiar with The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, here's the movie scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awskKWzjlhk Wonderful cinematography (R.I.P. Tonino Delli Colli, you genius) and totally fitting, great music (long live Morricone), and of course, fantastic direction (thanks to Sergio Leone). One of the most awesome duels in cinema history. Tie with Once Upon A Time In The West. You actually think Eli Wallach (the Ugly) would be the perfect Th�nardier. He's a rat, he robs graves, kills people and he's a coward. But he survives every hanging. In fact, he can't be killed. And he steals the show. Now, he's 92 and still going strong. He could play M. Gillenormand. |
||||||
| music is my life!!! |
i keep on dreaming about next May's auditions for the school version - i really wanna get Fantine! | ||||||
| Pylades Laconic |
I saw that movie for the first time yesterday, and you are so completely right! All I could think of the whole time was Les Miserables. And as far as Javert just staring at people to freak them out; he could probably turn deadpanning into a professional sport. And come on... don't even try to tell me that they had innocent intentions when they added a certain [spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen the movie] sewer chase into the mix. I was laughing for a full 15 minutes after Tommy Lee Jones said "Yeah, well, think me up one of them chocolate doughnuts with the little rainbow sprinkles on it." My parents just kind of stared at me and after a while they told me it wasn't that funny, and that I was being annoying. I went on to inform them that they had just witnessed the greatest moment in movie history. All that I could think of was Javert saying something like that, and it just being totally in context. And then they said "Who's Javert?" And I had a heart attack and died. YKYOWLMW- You get a 100% score on the Sythar!Javert quiz thinger that you happen to stumble across and you've only read the book once. [/endgloating] |

YKYOWLMW
You force several of your friends to learn the Javert part of Confrontation, so that you can break out into song whenever you want. On that note-- When your Physics teacher oftentimes gives you strange looks because you and your friend got through the entire song of Confrontation in the middle of class. Similarly: When your Physics teacher does not like you because you have every major character drawn on every single divider in your binder and he knows you're doing that instead of your homework. I'm so glad physics is over. |
||||||
| Pylades Laconic |
That is totally wicked!... I think... I don't exactly know what the Confrontation is. But from context it's obviously from the Les Mis musical. Which explains why I don't know it. 
|
||||||
| music is my life!!! |
^ the confrontation is after Fantine dies, and Javert finds Valjean and confronts him, hence "the confrontation" 
|
||||||
| Pylades Laconic |
Well, that's simple. I'm still struggling to decide whether to watch the musical because I'm afraid it will ruin the book for me, if it isn't as good. and I'm afraid that the musical will be a total bastardization of the book, so I'm holding off to keep hope. 
|
||||||
| lizavert |
The musical and the book are two very different animals. The book has a much bigger scope, IMO, than the musical. But it's hard to fit a 1500 page book into the framework of a three hour musical. There are, by necessity, things you are going to have to change. That, of course, doesn't mean that all the changes are for the better. And I'm sure that at some points you could end up wondering if B&S read the same book that everyone else has. To my mind reading the book enhances seeing the musical. It helps to understand some of the characters motivations a bit better.
In short, I would advise that you finish the book first, if you haven't already. Then see the musical. |
||||||
| Pylades Laconic |
Oh, yes, I've already finished the book. That is why I've gone off in search of other Les Miserables things to keep me occupied.
Well. Then I suppose I'll give it a shot some time soon. |
||||||
| Bramblefox |
The musical doesn't and can't ruin the book, IMHO. It may not be the same thing, but it has its good points. I'd suggest seeing the Tenth Anniversary Concert--even though it's a concert and not necessarily the play in its whole form it's still fantastic. | ||||||
| Sythar |
I'd like to second everyone's stance on the musical so far. It is different to the book, but I don't think (IMHO) that I've seen any movie or show that has handled Les Miserables' theme quite so well.
Besides which, unlike most movies they actually give Grantaire a part. On another subject, remember when I said I joined e-bay just to bid on a LM related thing? This is what I was bidding for: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Classics-Illustrated-Les-Miserables-Australian-6D_W0QQitemZ180275701663QQihZ008QQcategoryZ67QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem You may think it weird of me to share this with a comunity of LM fans, but the truth is that I just found out I don't really have enough money for it - so if someone else wants it I'd be very relieved to be outbid. (P.S. I'm not actually bidding against you. My reserve was $45) YKYOWLMW - You find the fact that you're currently working for prison services vaguely ironic and are wondering if it would be incredibly bad taste to scrawl Hugo quotes all over the whiteboards. [/i] |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
Do it, please! It would be awesome. | ||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
The musical represents the events of the book pretty faithfully, it just kinda misses the boat on interpreting them at times. ("Everybody's dead! Let's sit around and cry about it now.") But it takes much fewer liberties than you'd expect, and the music helps recapture that emotional power you feel when reading Hugo's prose. As long as you don't treat the musical like the be-all end-all of the story, it's a fine adaptation. | ||||||
| Sythar |
Which quote should I write up on the boards? Suggestions, anyone?
YKYOWLMW: You go into a second-hand bookstore and gravitate to French History/Travel Classics and you are horribly disappointed when a 1868 'Sketches of Paris' turns out to be rather satirical and - from all appearances - at least half fictional. - you are more than consoled when you find a book about France between 1815 and 1832. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Lucky you, I didn't even know those existed. Most of the histories I've found of post-Imperial France use either 1830 or 1848 as their cutoff dates. Who's the author? |
||||||
| Sythar |
Oh they do exist, though they're few and far between. This one is a 1938 published Reaction and Revolution 1814-1832 by Frederick B. Artz.
I have not been able to find a cope of Barricades: The War of the streets in Revolutionary Paris, 1830-1848 yet. But I want it. YKYOWLMW: Your amazon.com shopping list and profile seem to centre around early-mid nineteenth century France. Hay! I made Grantaire!  Are there any kindly people willing to give me a hand with the banner? I am useless as graphics.
|
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
I'd try one, just send me some Grantaire pics you'd like. I'm not a big master of Photoshop, but look at my own banner. If it's not bad, I'll serve you. | ||||||
| Pylades Laconic |
I'm pretty decent in Photoshop. If you send me some pitures, I'll see what I can whip up for you. It is the least I can do, since you offered to help me out with some Vidocq stuff. (Also? You mentioned that you were looking for, a little while ago, the Les Miserables 2000 edition, in French. I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd like.) | ||||||

I played the entire first act of the conductor score on my piano. It took well over two hours because I'm not a very good sight-reader.
I also had a dream that I was Mandy Bruno and I was onstage about to sing On My Own and then I got booed of stage. Scary stuff. |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
LOL! That is a very funny dream! Also--where did you get the conductor score? Are you just a lucky, lucky man or is that available for purchase? <.< >.> <.< |
||||||
| mastachen |
I just pmed you, assuming that you wanted it. lol
I also have parts of the Student Edition score. The supervisor for my sister's Les Mis research paper worked on a student edition production, incidentally the same production that Jekkienumber24601 and Matthew were in, and she lent my sister the score to use as a reference. |

You write to the staff of tektek.org:
"Dear Staff, thank you for this lovely and funny avatar maker. I made dozens of figures with it. My question is, don't you plan to do some Les Mis�rables (musical) related items? I think of tricolore sash, prisoner clothes, red flag, rifles, police and National Guard uniforms, etc. I think a lot of Mizzies would be happy with them.
Best wishes, Sieglinde" It's a lovable avatar maker, but I miss Les Mis items! http://www.tektek.org/dream/dream.php Although it has an Enjy-like vest and top hat and �ponine hat, but that's not enough. And you spend hours for making Mizzies with it.

Where did you find that basket though? I looked pretty closely and I didn't find one. |

Ooh! I didn't tell anyone about my dream did I?
it was weird. I was driving along with my friend Nicola, and I stopped at a place across my road, and it turned out to be like the Patron-Minette Headquarters. So Montparnasse came and answered the door, with a suiot on his torso but wuith just undies on his bottom half. Claquesous wasn't there though. So, we went up to like a dormitory and sat on these bunkbeds, and they had this collage that I had in my room. Then I left Nicola with Babet (who was ridiculously skinny) and Guelemer and went shopping with Montparnasse. We went around my local shopping centre and atr random intervals he kept hugging and kissing me, then stabbing me in my arm or leg. Yeah... it was strange. |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
YKYAOWLMW
You watch Heat and still crying after it, you say: "All what Valjean and Javert needed would be a coffee together... *sob*" You dream something weird about an evil Nazi court and actors being accused. You are in the crowd and sometimes send the judges in their mothers. And... several Mizzie actors come. I remember clearly Drew Sarich (in "BHH outfit") and a Th�nardier actor and maybe some other Broadway people. It was weird. A famous and long-dead and Calvinist! Hungarian poet came with his mistress (the mistress was Jewish, but they both died before the Nazi era even began). Thank God I woke up before poor boys would be sentenced to death. Oh, and the Poet and his mistress sang The Waltz of Trechery. And I didn't even watch old war movies... OMG this is either too much Les Mis, or it was just because I was ill... |
||||||

1. I missed that this was a dream at first and spent a few seconds going WAIT WHAT? 2. I WANT YOUR BRAIN. 3. You have made me lol ridiculously. |

| Brunnhilde |
I began to watch TEH MINISERIES.
Oh, God. Loony, I giggled the whole time. Thank to your description. It's so true.
Well, saw the first part (once I saw it, but only this...) 1. Depardieu is UGLY UGLY UGLY. And he has only one facial expression. Something between "I'm veeery simple" and "Heh WTF?" and "I'm acting veeeery seeeerious". I'll never accept him as JVJ. 2. Black!Fantine, WTF? 3. Felix's friend, who's clearly three-in-one, looks like Lestat! No, really. He does. I want him as Lestat! 4. Th�nardier doesn't look like a rat. (Okay, my ideal Th�nardier is Bourvil.) 5. Sister Simplice: WTF WTF WTF? I died laughing every time she was on-screen. 6. Malkovich. I screamed "SNAAAAAAAPE!" every time he showed up. He looks like Snape, his hair is totally Alan Rickman-ish, and he talks veery slowly and hissing and annoying. I wanted to slap him after five minutes, and I still do. He has maybe three facial expressions. a) "Oh I'm SO bored" b) "I'm soooo evil and annoying and prejudiced! Please, somebody slap me!" (Nobody did it yet.) c) "FLASHBACK! FLASHBACK! Wait, I know this man... or... or... I forgot what I wanted." And he has no sideburns! And he wears an SS officer coat! And a RING! *cries* Forgive him, Javvie, he doesn't know what he's doing. And with all of this... Malkovich is still strangely charmant. He would be really a perfect Snape. My biggest matter is he doesn't seem a honest, simple, Roman character. He seems like a secret sinner, a hypocrite. The way he watches Fantine. He should be killed just for that... omg the pervert bastard. Well, he plays an interesting character, but it has nothing to do with Javert... 7. Annoying, straightforward parables. More will come. |
||||||
| Catherine |
Whythankyou =]]] I dreamt about him last night actually but that was even stranger so I'm not gonna go into the whole thing, only that he ate me (oh yes) and he let me out of this house where I was being held prisoner coz this guy in my school tried to rescue me. Heh. Strangeness. |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
YKYAOWLMW
Watching the 2. part of the miniseries, you squee when Th�nardier gets up after Valjean spends the night in the inn, and he's wearing... an ENJY VEST! |
||||||
| Moci |
...you're watching the new adapation of 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' on TV and Hans Matheson is Alec d'Urberville and despite your loathing for the 1998 film, you're rather shocked to see Marius behaving in that way. | ||||||
| PqA |
Hans' face is too recognizable for his own good. | ||||||
| Tenalto |
^ Be that as it may, he's still pretty. 
|
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
PqA: I love your sig. Die, Marjolras, die!
And Valjean too. He sucked in that movie. *angry* That smile!And "I feel nothing!" I could kill Neeson and/or August for that. YKYAOWLMW: You see an article in the newspaper about a local prison (it's in the nearest town to yours, and one of the hardest in the whole country) and you are all like: OMG CONVICTS! VALJEAN! YAY! |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
^ Every time I see convicts working on the highway I start singing the prologue at the top of my lungs. | ||||||
| Brunnhilde |
I wonder what looks you get from the cons...
YKYAOWLMW: You listen every night at least three songs before you go to sleep. Three, that means three versions of one song - an English, a German, and a Dutch.
|
||||||
| PqA |
Sig, yes. Although it isn't just Marjolras that bothers me. It is Marius in general. Kill Valjean? No. No. Again, I say no. Javert may be bad ass, but Valjean is wicked in his own right. And don't bash Neeson. He makes such a great Valjean. It's the director/screen writers fault. |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
When you see Les Mis even in LotR... I'll make more. Feel free to use it as a sig. |
||||||
| Quique |
^ Your banner. 
*dies forever* |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
That just reminded me of why Manon's meta should be required reading for the entire Les Mis fandom. | ||||||
| Brunnhilde |
I like �owyn, and I can't stand �ponine. But I can be evil. And if LotR people were forced to play Les Mis, �owyn had to play �ponine, because Arwen is evident, Galadriel is evident... and you don't want an Ioreth!�ponine, do you? Or Goldberry?
And I'm a big Aragorn-hater, but it's because I hate kings in general and he's too perfect, no flaws. Long Live The Gondorian Republic! Which, in fact, never existed. And I can only accept crossovers as parodies. If a crossover tries to be serious, that's bad and finished. |
||||||
| Mistress |
????? I thought Charlotte Gainsbourg (who's white) played Fantine in that version...someone correct me? |
||||||
| Brunnhilde |
When I say black, I usually mean HAIR. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
English doesn't work that way--you have to specify that you're talking about hair or the assumption is that you're talking about the person in general. It's why we have words like 'redhead,' because if you said 'red Fantine' people would either assume 'communist Fantine' or 'Fantine is blushing/has a really bad sunburn.' | ||||||
| Brunnhilde |
Communist Fantine...
*imagines Fantine in a "Long live Lenin!" T-shirt* *dies* I just have to make a Communist!Fantine banner now. Our language has no such things, maybe because African people are extremely rare in my country. |

I'm still seriously contemplating knitting little LM finger puppets, by the way. That's on topic, innit? |

- When you type "enjolyable" instead of "enjoyable".
Its happened repeatedly, so I'm convinced its not a typo, more of an inner sub-conscious memo to concentrate on Joly coz I'm kinda rejecting him in my Ami fangirling |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
I always type "Enjy" instead of "enjoy."
NO it does not mean I'm secretly in love with Enj. You stop that. |

Yeah, you can't hide it by replacing all your "Enjolras"es with "Montparnasse"s
Your love make's Grantaire's obession sound like a little crush.

LISTEN EVERYBODY.
"Montparnasse" is now simply a euphemism for "Enjolras." And so, clearly, "Montparnasse" is the object of all of Loony's love and affections. |

I. HAD. A DREAM.
You guys, I just remembered this dream, like, a minute ago. And it was one of those dreams you assume is real for a while, you know? And then you're kind of shocked when you realise it wasn't? Okay, so I dreamed I was at some sort of banquet-y thing with curlyhairedsoprano ( ) and we were having dinner. Yes. And my piano teacher was there. And also, sitting at my table, was Victor Hugo. I distinctly remember whispering to soprano "I must be a terrible fan, because I kinda thought he was dead." He was black and white and looked just like all those pictures where he's leaning his head on one arm. It was kinda amazing. Anyway, we start talking to Victor Hugo and I was wearing this big white hat covered in feathers like an old church lady gone wrong, and Victor Hugo says he really likes my hat. Then the dinner was over and he asks for my phone number, which I naturally give him. Soprano's like, "D'you want my number too?" and he goes, "Sure!" Then me and soprano are walking away and I'm thinking how cool it is to be friends with Victor Hugo when it suddenly occurs to me that I should have asked him once and for all if Grantaire was gay for Enjolras. So I turn back to find him but never do and all these other weird non-LM-related things happen.
The end! |

Having exhausted all my other travel options, I am now keeping my car in town for a week and a half so I can drive up to Qu�bec and see their Les Mis production. Which means getting up at 7am every morning to feed the parking meter, even when I don't have class until ten, and carrying around a ridiculous supply of quarters. Not to mention the eight-hour drive it took to get the car here from my parents' house.
...this had better be a damn good production, that's all I'm saying. |

Les Mis dream!
So I had this dream that I was watching a Les Mis movie, and I was under the impression that it was just going to be a string of clips from the stage production. And sometimes it was ... like "Eponine's Errand" and stuff was just clips from the revival. But then parts of it were like ... full-out movie. And really really really bad movie. Let's see. AHFOL was the worst offender. Cosette was on a cell phone and wearing a bright pink dress. (Her voice was beautiful in this dream, but it was sort of killed by the rest of it.) There was none of the "aww cute" Marius and Cosette stuff. The dialogue I remember went something like this... Marius: Are you a virgin? Cosette: Yup. Marius: I'll fix that. *sex* Enjolras (who, for some reason, accompanied Marius and Eponine to the Rue Plumet) wore a skirt. A long flowy blue skirt with flowerets. I woke up and I was like, "WTF guys? What could have possibly caused me to dream something so utterly HORRIBLE...?" |
