Hayden's the one in the middle, right? The prettiest one?
(Maybe not the prettiest, but still.)
NOOOO TOO HAIRY! *runs away* (I like that that picture is called "EW.jpg"...) |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
...There ...... are ..... more????????  
|
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Fantine--Hayden is the one in the middle.
And I actually have no idea where it's from--got it from a friend, who got it from a friend, etc. |
||||||
| eponine5 |
I absolutely love Hayden Tee!
I don't know whether I want to laugh or cry at that picture though 
|
||||||
| Fantine |
I choose the latter.
*bawls eyes out* |
||||||
| Quique |
Hahaha. That never gets old. XD |
||||||
| Fantine |
My other fandoms (listing them because we seem to have a lot in common):
Hornblower Severus Snape The Inspector Lynley Mysteries Final Fantasy Kingdom Hearts Costume drama's Victorian/Edwardian clothing |
||||||
| flying_pigs |
That picture of Hayden has scarred me!
But I still love him! |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
My other fandoms... do I even have any?
Well... I have other things I love, but I don't obsess over them the way I do LM. I guess Jane Eyre and Sweeney Todd are my other two favourite things. And that's, ah, Jane Eyre the book. The musical is not so much with the good. "Forgi-i-i-ive-ness!" 
|

I am now fangirling
Valjean Drew Sarich as Valjean Javert Drew Sarich as Javert Enjolras Dre- oh wait. It will happen someday, dammit! Unless it already has happened. Then my life might be complete. EDIT: It has happene. My life is complete. I'm kinda taking it away from the whole JOJ fangirling, right? |
||||||
| Quique |
It has. |
||||||
| Catherine |
Ha ha yeah, found it out just a minute ago.
Too bad he's not a great Enjolras. He was a fab Valjean though. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I saw a clip of him on YouTube as Javert, and I was impressed with him there. His voice isn't right for Jeanjean, though. IMHO. |
||||||
| herkind |
That's actually my favorite song in the show. The rest of it just seems very bland to me. Anyway, I loves me some Bronte sisters. I guess I'm fangirling them now since I'm reading Villette. Holy crap I haven't posted here in awhile. *Shakes fist at college.* |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Squee! I thought you'd disappeared forever!
Mmm, Brontes. But I think the Forgiveness song is kinda preachy. Probably my favourite in terms of quality is the Sondheimish one that Crazy!Fairfax sings. (*has only heard the soundtrack twice*) I like the Rochester-and-Jane-finally-get-together song too, though it gets a bit monotonous and heavy-handed with the "leave me here BLIIIIIND!" thing. Or whatevs. And, though it's not a particularly brilliant song, I do like the finale one too. It's quite catchy. Oh, and on the Toronto recording? The one I have? ANTHONY CRIVELLO is Rochester. Add to the list of things I fangirl "Ray Bradbury." |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Add to the list of things I fangirl "Anthony Crivello." |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
If I listen to the JE soundtrack enough, I might have that one on my list as well. But then, ANYONE who plays Rochester has a good chance at making me love them. *gazes adoringly at Toby Stephens* | ||||||
| Electricity24601 |
Hmm... other nonLesMis obsessions...
Jamie Bower (I think that's his name) from the Sweeney Todd movie- he played Anthony. Not an amazing voice, but ohmygoodness, so cute. Not hot, exactly, but very, very nice. It was great- my friends and I were watching the movie and everyone was complaining about how girly he looked. My gay guy friend and I looked at each other and went "are we the only ones who think he's really cute?" 
Sondheim- I got to hear him talk last night, and it was amazing! Orson Scott Card novels- anyone else read anything by him? |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
More non-LM obsessions.
Frasier. Kind of obsessed. With Niles. And David Hyde-Pierce in general. I've kinda been obsessed with Fiddler since I was a wee tiny child, but really more obsessed with the story/characters/script than with any particular actors. The Crucible. ...Does Barack Obama count? Yes? Okay. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
YES. BARACK OBAMA.
And Frasier! My roommate was watching that movie with Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning, and I saw Gil Chesterton for a second, and I, like, fell out of my chair. And my friend and I agree that the show should just be called "Niles."
Ooh, I thought he looked like Keira Knightley. Creepy, creepy little boy. |
||||||
| Electricity24601 |
I'm beginning to think I have very strange taste... I always seem to pick out the people that no one else thinks is good looking.
Yay for Crucible! Was our school play last year, and we did it in English this year. Hale is my favorite... he had the most amazing hat in our production. (He looked like a quaker oats guy, except slightly more dignified) |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Aw, it's good that people like you exist! If everyone had the same standard of hotness, life would suck for everyone, no?
(I'm not sure that was terribly clear, but I'm sure you get the gist...) |
||||||
| herkind |
Aww! *is happy to have been missed.* Yes, Forgiveness is a tad preachy but I just think it sounds lovely. Or maybe it's Jayne Patterson's voice. I own the cast recording but I haven't listened to it in forever. As for my non-Les Mis obsessions, I've really gotten back into figure skating lately. Gotta love pretty boys in sparkly costumes doing triple axels. 
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Wasn't Jayne Patterson Fantine at some point, or am I making things up? She was in the original Bway production in 2003, no? Because I either saw her as Fantine or met her at the picket line...
...or have gone absolutely mad... |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
She closed the original Broadway production as Fantine. | ||||||
| Kragey |
My main fag thought he was sex on legs. And I, for one, think he had a very nice voice. It had a bright, exuberant tone to it that I thought really fit the character. |
||||||
| Fantine |
Oh yes me too! I only know the song 'Farewell Good Angel' but I love it. |
||||||
| Catherine |
I really liked him as Valjean, I saw him last Wednesday. But then, the only other Jean I've seen is Colm, so, who knows? |
||||||
| Electricity24601 |
Well at least someone agrees with me
ETA: Thanks LesMisLoony. You made me and my strange taste feel loved. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Yeah, I just had a very similar conversation with someone at Abaisse who thinks Enrico Lo Verso is hot.
He played MARIUS, for crying out loud! *dies* But no, seriously, I really respect that everyone has varying standards of hotness. It's good for the world. |
||||||
| Mistress |
^^ That man scares me.
Anyway...
Toby Stephens was a sexy Rochester...which probably shouldn't happen, but still, that is my fav version despite the various altarations (I think I even fangirl this over the Timothy Dalton version). And please tell me I'm not the only one who's shocked that Jane managed to keep her virginity intact after Toby Stephens' "seduction" in the temptation scene...  Man, I never thought that scene could be so...steamy...it's always been played a an agrument. This was the first time it was done as an actual sexual temptation...and it was VERY realistic....
...I think I need some tissues now...
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Mmmmnnnnhhhh YEAH. This sums up my feeling about the whole thing pretty accurately:
(And sorry that picture of Enrico Lo Verso is so enormous... That is BAD for the eyes...) |
||||||
| Kragey |
Hayden Tee is the prettiest Marius ever, hands down. | ||||||
| Mistress |
It's okay, but seriously, I want to gouge my eyes out everytime I look at his face XP |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
^^That is why we call him "Fugly." | ||||||
| herkind |
Aw, poor Fugly Marius. It doesn't help that Virginie Ledoyen makes him look bad by being friggin gorgeous. Seriously, I want her hair. And her face.
And on a more random note, I am currently obsessed with the music from this trailer-http://youtube.com/watch?v=6A9fVujIRpQ The fact that know one seems to know who did the music is KILLING me. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Me too! She's my favourite film Cosette, the lil dearie. Neat preview! I don't watch the Tudors because I'm poor and don't have Showtime or Starz or HBO or anything fun like that. 
My first thought, even before I watched the video, was that it might be Immediate Music. They make AMAZING trailer music. I'm actually working on a teaser for my newest summary-parody fanfic (doing the Jordan/Perkins movie next!) to put on youtube, and I'm using an Immediate Music song... and I went to the movies yesterday and saw a real trailer (forgot which) that was using the same song I've been using for my spoofy thing! It was super exciting... |
||||||
| Kragey |
Virginie Ledoyen is on my desktop right now. She's so damn sexy. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
I was trying to find a picture of her as Cosette, and on imdb all I saw were these shots of her in a bikini, and I was like... "Valjean is gonna be SO. PISSED."
XD The world of the sane; let me join it. |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
I would invite you in, but I've hardly got a toe in the door myself. |
||||||
| herkind |
Thanks, I'll check that out. I got the DVD of the Tudors for Christmas since I don't get Showtime and I'm really nerdy about that time period. It really is unintentionally hilarious at times and historical inaccuracies abound. Yet Sam Neill and Jeremy Northam are wonderful as Cardinal Wolsey and Thomas More respectively. I loved Ledoyen as Cosette too. She really did remarkably well considering all the Valjean perving she had to put up with and is it me or is she in bed for about 75% of her scenes? |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
She was in bed a lot. After she married Fugly, she did nothing but lie in bed and cry. Trufax. | ||||||
| Fantine |
Hold it. Who played what and why and where in The Tudors? | ||||||
| mastachen |
Let me give a full description (I loved The Tudors)
courtesy of IMDB Jonathan Rhys Meyer - King Henry VIII Henry Cavill - Charles Brandon Natalie Dormer - Anne Boleyn Maria Doyle Kennedy - Queen Catherine of Aragon Nick Dunning - Thomas Boleyn Jeremy Northam - Sir Thomas More Sam Neill - Cardinal Thomas Wosley Callum Blue - Anthony Kivert Joe Van Moyland - Thomas Tallis Pedriac Delaney - George Boleyn Kristen Holden-Reid - Compton James Frain - Thomas Cromwell Declan Conlon - Mendoza Gabrielle Anwar - Princess Margaret Jamie Thomas King - Thomas Wyatt I think that's enough... lol Thomas was sure a popular name back then |
||||||
| Fantine |
I guess I missed something. I thought one of the previous Les Mis actors were in the cast or something. My bad.
I really like this show. It doesn't help that I only see it sometimes, therefore the story line is totally screwed up. Natalie Dormer is really pretty though. |
||||||
| bigR |
I've seen like 5 minutes of the tudors and I catched like half a dozen historical inaccuracies! But they are so many pretty boys in it I am really considering getting the dvds (can I be more shallow?) And, bbrrrrr... seeing perving valjean *goosebumps everywhere* in the previews made me unable to watch more than small bits of those miserables. But if you think I'm missing something I'll make an effort and watch it. |
||||||
| Mistress |
Valjean-perving??? I definitely missed something here...can someone please explain? On another extremely random note, I think I shall continue fangirling the Toby Stephens-Jane Eyre seduction scene...
And somehow I find it funny that his mother is Professor McGonigal of all people! Well, at least we know where he got his great acting genes from
Maggie Smith, we are truly indebted to you. |
||||||
| bigR |
I've only seen some bits of it, but Valjean telling Marius that he does not love Cosette "like a father", the way he looks at her all the time, and specially Valjean lying in the same bed with cosette and telling her that it's ok because it is her father's bed, with an expression and a voice that actually say: " it also does not matter if I start touching and caressing you because we are family" ... maybe i have a dirty mind but I certainly saw it as perving. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
^Sounds like you've seen my mashup on youtube...
I went through and picked out all the parts that made me scream WTF or groan or pause the movie and run around the dorm screaming, subbed them, and put them on youtube. It's actually not a terrible film, those parts notwithstanding.
Nnnggggh me too me too me too... |
||||||
| bigR |
ha, ha... I actually saw like the 1st half an hour some time ago, on spanish tv, but since I was going through my fase of "I'm so fed up with les mis", i guess I just switched it off or changed channel... But yes, all my horror about valjean perving comes from your clip. I did not realize it was yours. Fugly marius, valjean going through the window, skinny-enjolras-and-marius-bestbuddies-and-flatmates, slashy scenes and walking-into-the-river-javert were fun to watch actually, but valjean... brrrr, disgusting old man! |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
YOU'LL LEAVE MY HOUSE OR FEEL THE WEIGHT OF MY ROD WE'RE LES MIS LOVING PEOPLE HERE THANKS BE TO GOD (No... I mean... I'm kidding, don't worry.)
Bu-bu-but it's Gerard Depardieu! *huggles him* |
||||||
| Mistress |
Hehehe...it's funny thinking about Depardieu playing Valjean. I had to IMDB the film to fully comprehend the topic of conversation...anywho, I fianlly know what the hell you guys are talking about. 
Anyway, I thought it was sorta funny that we got talking about Jane Eyre for a little while, and now we're talking about the Depardieu film, where Charlotte Gainsbourg, of all actresses, played Fantine. Personally, I don't think she was pretty enough for the part...very gawky looking with squirrel cheeks and a giraffe neck...or maybe that was only in Jane Eyre (she should definitely keep her hair long and down though). Anyway, was she still a good Fantine in the movie? O hey, I just remembered, she can sing too...maybe she could play the part in the musical...if she has the right voice for it (I don't really know what she sounds like though.) |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Umm... Charlotte Gainsbourg was on okay Fantine, but she was NOT. BLONDE. I do not approve of this. C'mon, France, get with it!
Still, she wasn't as bad as the Fantine in the '78 film with Richard Perkins and Anthony Jordan. Because that woman looked and sounded like Gollum... 
|
||||||
| Mistress |
Pictures please?
wait...slashy scenes...was there realy slash in the Depardieu film, or was it someone's dirty mind working on the mashup? (Lesmisloony?) And the Valjean perving was indeed part of the plot, although I don't know why...it was spart of the IMDB summary. Anyway, can I have the link for that mashup...I'm very interested now....and it has NOTHING to due with seeing potential slashynes... 
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Do you one better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLd51kIEvvU |
||||||
| Mistress |
thanks....can have the link to the Depardieu mashup too please?
Edit: hehehe...you have a crush on Valjean and his 70's hair? |
||||||
| Fantine |
Tell me about it!!! Argh! |
||||||
| bigR |
Oh, I'd say it is mostly LML dirty mind... I don't think the director was really thinking about gavroche/javert... |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
That was three months ago... before I encountered Jean Jean the Sexy Con in the form of Frederic March...
(Frederic March's sexiness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0NvUwXUNL0) Aaaand my slashy mashup of the 2000 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt3UrugBxe4 ^That's not a specifically good video, but whatevs.
Uhh... yeah, it was mostly me. But... I mean... Fugly!Marius and Unaging!Gavroche were definitely way too handsy. Like... clutching each other and stuff. And Javert and Gavroche did gaze at each other for aaaaaages. I just added the music that I heard in my head when I was watching the film... |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
The barricade boy pajama party is pretty, uh, special as well. As is Fantine's haircut, which looks like it was done by Labyrinth-era David Bowie with his eyes closed. | ||||||
| Mistress |
hehehe I finally saw Jean-Jean the Sexy Con and the Depardieu mash-up. but I still have to see Gollum-Fantine from 1978 (It's almost impossible for me to get a computer that can play Youtube XD..let's see, there are school computers that block it, and even nottnetworks can't seem to get the damn clips to play...there are passorded computers at home that I have to sneek on to before the screensavers come on and the password is reactivated...oh god, I had missions trying to get access to these clips...)
Anyway, enough of my bitching...Jean-Jean was...semi-sexy...for some odd reason, I only found him hot when he was picking Fantine up off the floor after she fainted....
The mash-up was...interesting to say the least. Oddly enough, Marius wasn't so fugly when he was moving around and talking and stuff...Depardieu is a very huggable Valjean (except when he's lusting after Cossette *shudder*)...and when the hell did John Malkovich learn French???(I'm surprised this question didn't come to me until after I saw mash-up) |
||||||
| Tenalto |
Well, apart from Fugly!Marius and Pervy!Valjean, was no one else going  at RobustSoldier!Fauchelevent?
|
||||||
| herkind |
I was. That was so RANDOM. That along with Never ages!Gavroche, For some reason male and incapable of speaking!Touissant amongst many other things had me scratching my head in this movie. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
That is INTENSE dedication! I'm extremely amused/impressed!
I had those reactions too! John Malkovich speaks sloooo-oooo-ooow French, though. Which is actually great for me, trying to watch it as a freshman French major. And I just love Gerard Depardieu. A lot. Possibly stemming back to his character in (  ) The Holiday, which was the first movie I saw him in. And the next movie of his I saw was Cyrano de Bergerac. Is it any wonder I fangirl him after that?
And! After Cosette gets married, Valjean comes back to the house and finds that Se�or Toussaint has left, and left him a note. Written on a mirror. In something white. Which makes me think... Se�or Toussaint invented the Metallic Marker...? |
||||||
| Mistress |
hehehe, I'm glad I amused/impressed you with my dedication
Hmmm...I saw a copy of Depardieu's Cyrano in the library where I volunteer...perhaps I should take it out sometime...it's funny, I was watching a bit of Bogus over the weekend, it was on TV, and I kept on thinking "He looks like a big friendly oaf or giant, a huge teddybear you njjust want wrap your arms around and hug all day". Oh Gerard Depardieu...
|
||||||
| Fantine |
A bit random...
Okay can I just be like totally in love with the duet between Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman (Pretty Women). |
||||||
| bigR |
[quote="Mistress"]
I don't know if malkovich can speak any french but it is not his voice in this movie. What you hear there is the perfectly accented voice of a french dubbing actor. No wonder he is easier to understand than other characters. Dubbing actors always vocalize and speak much more clearly than actors on screen. As long as I know (I haven't seen the film), Marius, �ponine and Enjolras are dubbed into french too, and so their french is probably easier to understand than Valjean, Cosette or Fantine's. |
||||||
| Mistress |
That makes sense seeing as Malkovich is American and Marius the Fugly is Italian...from what I saw though, the dubbing looking very natural though, some of the best dubbing I've seen...but then I guess they had to mime the french words as apposed to speaking English and than having a French guy speak over them...sorta like all of those really bad dubs for Asian movies. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
Wow! The only one whose dubbing I noticed was Eponine.
*coughshamelessselfpromotioncough* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7yUXRus2-I |

That's so Hollywoodlike/American that it's not even funny. | ||||||

That was really good! Haha. Loved the ending...it was so...homo erotic. Gosh we all have dirty minds here, lol. |

Aha! Victory! I've finally gotten the password for my home computers...now I can surf the the internet and go on Youtube all I want behind my parents' backs 
Youtube marathon here I come! XD |
||||||

XD Hooray! | ||||||
| Quique |
Omg, rebel Mistress, lol. | ||||||
| Electricity24601 |
You go girl! How long did it take you to figure it out? Other random fangirllingness... How about the Queen's theatre? I love it there so much. I'm sure its just because its the first place I saw Les Mis (plus its in London, which is my favorite city EVER). It's pretty and intimate without being squished (a la the Broadhurst). Out of all the theatres you've seen Les Mis at, which is your favorite? |
||||||
| Mistress |
It was actually fairly easy. I just hit the hint button, and the hint was imeime which is namename in Croatian-my language. So I just typed my last name in twice, no spaces, and Bingo! I was in. And I imagine that the password is the same for the other usable computer here.
I'm surprised it didn't occur to me to try the hint button before...
|
||||||
| lesmisloony |
Hehe, Mistress, you're brill.
My dad used to use "barf" as the password on our computer...
|

| Tenalto |
So... anybody ever heard "Confrontation" performed with a back-up of electric guitar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBevLDMIk_o&NR=1 | ||||||
| Mistress |
*bows* thank-you, thank-you.
Hehehehe...that's funny.
...I think I just realized that I fangirl Philip Quast (a little), Philip Quast as Javert (a little more than I fangirl Philip Quast), and Philip Quast's low note at the end of the word "chain" in The Confrontation...it's freakishly awsome
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
*points* Mistress has 666 posts!
And BTW Quast's low F is sex in vocal form. Kthanxbye. |
||||||
| Mistress |
I am evil! ...oh wait, now I have 667 posts...oh well
mmm....vocal sex...right up there with JOJ and his Halleluiah
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
O.M.G. I actually just got "Hallelujah" in the mail. And ... o_O I'm fangirling all over the place right now. B'cause the title track is sexy. Like, really, really sexy. As is the cover picture/insert picture/jewel case picture. But mainly the voice...on Hallelujah. WOW. |
||||||
| Mistress |
Yeah, I know. I swear I actually had some sort of orgasm the first time I heard Halleluiah...and it in the school library too
|
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I know, right? It's just so ... JOJ ... gaaaaaah. Hahaha, every topic in this thread seems to come back to JOJ. Maybe it's 'cause everyone shamelessly fangirls JOJ. *loveshim*
|
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
I think I fangirl Randal Keith more than JOJ, but probably 'cause I saw him more times.
That doesn't say much about my lack of fangirling for JOJ though, since I fangirl both of them to no end. /random babbling |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
*waves flag of CMP love*
And not necessarily his portrayal of Enjolras... just him. As a person. At the stagedoor. |
||||||
| mastachen |
I think that if I ever caught Victor Wallace on a night where he's not going through puberty, he'd have been an awesome Enjolras. | ||||||
| EponineMNFF |
Victor Wallace is LOVE. 
He's so fierce. |
||||||
| Quique |
I thought he was better than his understudy Eric Briarley.
He did seem to force his lower notes, but he had the perfect look and his voice and acting was strong 90% of the time. |
||||||
| Quique |
Great pic. And eye candy even for us guys.
|
||||||
| mastachen |
That's what I thought too, until he went "They will come when we *screech*" My sister can't even hit whatever the hell note he hit. lol |
||||||
| eponine5 |
I LOVE JOJ's album. I think I might have actually cried the first time I heard his recorded Bring Him Home, the same way I cry whenever I hear it live...
As for theatres, I am quite attached to the Queen's Theatre. I wish they would let you in earlier before a performance, because I really like just walking around in it. And I get really annoyed whenever they change something (like when they stopped selling the cookies-and-cream ice cream!  )
|
||||||
| Quique |
I've never cried during "Bring Him Home" until 2004.
I cried buckets last time I saw the show on Broadway. |
||||||
| Mistress |
I've just been watching me some JOJ Bring Him Home....*drool* Colm's passion and emotion hits you hard, and it's fantastic, but JOJ's voice just caresses you into tears...it's so incredibly tender. Man, if he and Philip Quast did Les Mis together, THAT would be the ultimate orgasm. | ||||||
| lesmisloony |
Add this to my list, as sung by Randal Keith and some Young Cosette:
-Yes, Cosette, yes it's true! There's a castle just waiting for you! *incredibly evil cackle* And... you know. Randal Keith in general. |
||||||
| mastachen |
Better than Gemignani's "Ho Ho Ho!" He sounds like Santa. |

as he contemplates his new sex slave...ok, that was just creepy Just ignore my attempt at trying to be funny XP |
