First, I have to say all of your movie "reviews" are brilliant and have me laughing almost the entire way through.

Second, you said the bishop looks like Claude Frollo from the Disney version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"... I don't know if you meant to say the 1939 film or if it's just a really bizarre coincidence, but the actor who played the Bishop in this film, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, also played Claude Frollo in the 1939 version of The Hunchback.

"That someone is surprisingly handsome young Valjean, who is in a giant cage or something."

As soon as I read that, I knew this was going to be unbelievably funny.

Actually, I kid. I knew just from the description that it was going to be unbelievably funny.

Hee! This was awesome. I found this from some of the comments from your vids on youtube. And yes, FM is a ridiculously hot Valjean, and CL did not gain his reputation from this movie, that's for sure. (Do you write any essays or anything about Les Mis? If you do, I'd love to check them out.)

Off to read the rest of your write-ups now. :)

Oh my... *dies laughing*

Snowman!Javert...

Poor Charles Laughton, he was great in Spartacus (Gracchus was written for him), but as Javert, he looks like... SVEJK!

>Javert proudly announces that he’s a POLICE

This made me laugh like whoa.

That pretty much echoes my thoughts on the whole movie...
Thanks again for this. So much win.

I bought that box set. Laughton scared me, but the '52 (not Gabin) version was just as bad. At least March was eyecandy. The '52 Valjean was just plain scary.
And there was some strange stuff going on with an extra character and roses...
-shakes head-
Hilarious once again. Can you believe most reviewers call Laughton epically evil in this film? And horrifically scary??
(Some people call Enjolras 'Enroljas' out loud... LM dyslexia is catching...)

My God. I have been dying to do one of these, and I can only sincerely thank you for doing it first. Laughton frightens me. He flip-flops between a bizarre Winston Churchill lookalike and a mound of jelly.
It's scary.
And Valjean is sexy... but scary.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great. I love the bit about "some cheese to their whine"...
Thanks for the court bits. I don't really understand why, but it's damn hard to take these bits, who are after all supposed to be Dramatic and Sad and everything, seriously. Well, I can't, somehow.
Can I ask for something else? Could you put up Marjolras' first speech? I can't believe that the revolution in this movie is really all about convicts' rights! And while you're at it, how about the whole confrontation and a couple of scenes from the galley? (Sorry, if I'm annoying, but I can't get my hands on the movie from Germany. German amazon doesn't sell it.)
Thanks also for the Javert mash-up. What a cry-baby! My God, that really is the worst Javert I've ever seen and I thought the one from the 1995 movie with Belmondo was already pretty bad, mostly because he hardly figured at all. I'll stick with Malkovitch or Perkins.
You collect LM movies? Which one's your favourite?

This is hilarious.

Ha, I loved this. Saw your video on Youtube with the bishop and I was dying laughing! It was well written and completely different from your darker fics. That said, PLEASE write some more Montparnasse/Patron-Minette stories. You're the only one who writes about them, and I'm stuck reading a bunch of overdone Les Amis slash fics. Finally finishing up here... It was a hilarious story. Even funnier because it's true.

Oh lordy... I just had to check out the videos after reading this. SnowmanJavert absolutely KILLS me. Gah!

You're right, tho--that's an awesome bishop.

Sheesh, filmmakers are so retarded. But it made for a VERY amusing parody. Tank you! And get those videos up on youtube!! Pwease?

Emo-Javert?! Eponine as Marius's SECRETARY?! Marius and Enjolras the same person?! Fantine being reunited with Cosette before she dies?! This is all just WRONG!

For some reason, the way this movie fucked up the storyline is even worse than the way the Gerard Depardieu one did it.

Oh my. Once again, The People Who Make Movies have NO IDEA what the actual book is about. Which, despite the fact that it is often hilarious, also makes me want to bang my head against a desk a few times. But then, lots of those old movies had enough cheese to start a pizzeria, so it shouldn't be THAT surprising. Needless to say, I'm going to check out any YouTube stuff you put up of this just so I can be amused for a time...And, of course, I love your descriptions of these things and find the whole retelling-movie-plots highly entertaining anyway!
