Clean and hoover your bedroom, and wash the dishes, and then we can talk about your allowance.

NAYRT

I think the director was highly encouraging for "realism" so Hugh Jackman wasn't focused on singing well. He was focused on acting his ass off as he sang his lines.

Like, I get what the movie was going for but I hate it and I'd argue that is missing the point of making a film/play a musical to begin with.

NAYRT - Butler's voice was autotuned and otherwise mucked with to even sound as good (lol) as he did.

Iirc the director on Les Mis wanted everything sung on set with minimal post processing (I would guess Crowe got some) which is setting everyone up to suck.

Plus, I have zero musical training, but I would place Jackman as a baritone, iirc his first stage musical role was Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.

But Valjean is famously a really high tenor role, to the point where there's a parody of Bring Him Home that goes "God it's high/it's too high/it's so high/bring it down."

And for whatever reason, whoever was in charge didn't transpose the part down to a range Jackman could handle without just autotuning him up into the stratosphere, and the director didn't want any post processing (which is ridiculous because obviously they had to do some sound mixing and remove set noise and shit anyway.) So you can hear the strain of him trying to falsetto his way through.

And the difference between Butler and Jackman is that Jackman has a range that can handle singing shit more complicated than Row Row Row Your Boat and Butler doesn't. No amount of raising or lowering the Phantom's songs would've found a range where Butler could sing the whole thing.

There have been baritone Valjeans and Eriks onstage where either they had the extension to reach the tenor high notes anyway or their whole part was transposed down, but there was no rescuing Butler.

Not OP but I was struggling to think of which movie they meant because there's so many boat movies. It wasn't until I came to the comments that it clicked that they meant Titanic. Er... I am assuming they mean Titanic?

As someone who only watched like the first season of the cartoon (I got too annoyed by the characters to continue), after seeing Daniel Dae Kim, I think we need to hear the fire nation out...

I'd like to see an owl :) Any owl, really, as long as it's healthy and happy and thriving in its natural environment. I have *heard* owls but would like to get a visual one day.

Also pie in the sky wish: Some whale. I do not live anywhere near their habitats tho.

At most they might know they have girlfriends, but in Amity's case at least, her specifically being a lesbian is completely Word of God.

Okay, I was just about to ask because I didn't remember that ever coming up in the show itself. So yeah, I'd forgive someone not knowing that because I've watched the entire show and I didn't know that either.

Thank you. I've never been an angry person before so maybe that's why I'm having such a tough time dealing with it, but good to know someone else gets it. And I'm sorry about your dad and your grandad. I hope you too find a way to deal with all this unfairness and anger and loss. *hugs*

Oh jeez, I'd never sleep with one just because I am that paranoid! Mine is purely for sitting at my computer or cuddled on the couch with a book.

I absolutely 100% get you, Anon. I'm so happy you have a SO that you can vent and talk about these things with. But yeah, all this stuff piles up and there's always one thing that makes you crack and feel like "ENOUGH ALREADY"

I'm so sorry, the job search is so frustrating. You'll get there!

They’re also good for warming up the cold bed before you get in.

It was released for previous gen consoles, though, making it a reasonable assumption on the part of consumers that it would be compatible with them. The fact that it didn't work correctly on them at launch is absolutely reason to be critical about its playability.

Other big, anticipated next-gen titles released previous gen versions over the past few years without issues, making it even worse.

+1000

Everything I wanted to say about Jackman and Les Mis, conveniently pre-typed. *lol*

But yeah, he was functionally shouting the whole way through Bring Him Home and it's a crying shame.

God damn genius.

LOL @ "that boat movie"

I agree with this secret. It's straight-up lazy.

you're not wrong, but at least i can believe the other chrstines have been indoctrinated by the church aesthetic and focus on ~beauty~ enough to get it. but an ugly-sounding one? no way you wouldn't immediately think demon.

the core dynamics of power are similar enough, especially since the new republic would not in fact suddenly have less corruption and probably has more considering, that i don't think it would make a real difference.
