What is it with me not noticing this story? I was looking through my review history when I saw it had been updated four freaking months ago! :P

Anyways, I'm still LMAO-ing at the words "The Running of the Prostitute". And your description of Gustave Gueulemer. XD

Epic win!

>To be honest, after a while the birdcalls actually start to sound like lemurs and I start to think how cool it would be if there were more lemurs in Les Mis. Don’t ask me how or why. Just go with it. Like, imagine Javert walking a pet lemur on a leash. It would have, like, those spikes on its collar, you know? A police lemur. The lemur equivalent of K9. Not K9 the robot dog from Doctor Who, either, but K9 the police guys who have dogs for some reason.

I... have nothing to say to that. It's so very obvious now that you mentioned it. Javert would WALK THE # OUT OF THAT LEMUR! Not in his usual outfit, though, but probably dressed a bit like Sasha Baron Cohen's Bruno. They would have identically starey eyes. They would stare at people in silent unison. People would never ever resist arrest.

I'm really looking forward to your comments on les Amis... Since Bahorel does have a role...
But come on, Charles Laughton's over-dramatical "JEAN VALJEAN!" is much more ridiculous...

yay, part two!

"For heaven’s sake, even Charles Laughton delivered that “Valjean” with more gumption than this!"

I believe it was something like, "JEAN VALJEAN" :cry:

FINALLY. Took you long enough. Said the pot to the kettle. :)

Another splendid chapter that made me almost wet my pants. The randomness of your rants is hilarious. When you mentioned lemurs, I couldn't frickin breathe. Javert's little (or not so little) rant about Patron-Minette was pretty awesome. It's interesting that even though most movie versions keep in the whole 'Javert scaring Fantine to death' bit, this movie and the musical don't. I guess they couldn't keep it in the musical because THEY TOTALLY GOT JAVERT'S CHARACTER WRONG! But really, you'd expect him to be doing his mental happy dance in that scene. Yeesh. Oh well. Can't wait for the next one!

Happy (Belated) Barricade Day!!

XD I was laughing hysterically all the way through it! Please do another chapter!

Oh. My. God. Why have I not realized for almost TWO MONTHS that you had not started another one of these things? I've been away from the Les Mis fandom since November, and not until tonight did I even think to check up on my old Favorite Authors list. I feel behind the times.

Anyway, I was literally laughing by the second line.
Loony: "Suddenly, a guy with a beard collapses!"
Giz: "BAHAHAHA!"
Maybe I've just been comedy deprived. I have been researching the death penalty for approximately two hours now...

My main point? I love reading this already. It was a bright spot in my evening. Also beside the point, I thought about being a French major briefly, but then I changed my mind. American History for me. But I'm glad for you. That sounds enlightening.

By the way, the '78 movie's uploaded on youtube, by someone called lalith123. It's 132 minutes long, so it could be the complete version. At least, it does include the Great Coffin Escape.
But don't get your hopes up to high, it's still not a good movie...

Holy crap, is this the Gerard Depardieu version? Your rendition is hilarious, even if it isn't.

-Stardust.

YAY! You started a new one. *is excited*

(btw, this is the same u- from abaisse)

oh, and... how did you forget to mention that Cosette is like 12 years old when Fantine left her with the Thénardiers?

"the blurry hot guy is no longer in the shot, which makes Loony sad. Well, at least I have my accuracy". :-))
I love your reviews loony and that movie is indeed boringly accurate
but er... you know, the naked guy with the tied hands would be an ecce homo, a.k.a Jesus Christ... ;-)

Hm, you know, it's funnier, when you're reviewing a movie you didn't like, because it leaves room for all kind of comments.
By the way, try the little Cosette from the '33 movie. She's really cute. And she flinches every time someone just adresses her.
Say, is there any Javert you actually liked? 'Cause so far you've already been complaining about my two favourite Javerts...

What? So the 3-hours-version I got was seriously cut? Where to find the full version?

This is the msot accurate version ever. And don't call Javert names! He has the sexiest voice ever. I adore him in this version.

Meanwhile, good to see another Adventures. And Richard ValJordan is fully up on youtube, so don't search for apologies - you shall finish it.
