Oh my god, you are so right. THIS IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS.

To be fair, it is a fairly political novel (and the musical follows suit).

Considering that Fox news politicized Cars 2 of all things...

Yes I am excited.

They WHAT?!

...I laughed. But then I cringed, because if this happens I'll probably hear about it from my Dad.

I was going to say that Fox News would refuse to admit they actually are aware of something so "snooty" and "liberal-new-york-big-city" as a musical based on a french novel. But, on the other hand, they do hate to miss anything that can be seen as a threat to their party line.

I didn't think of that. I'm still annoyed they keep showing Anne Hathaway as Fantine in the previews. Fantine doesn't make the musical for me. Valjean, Javert, and Eponine make the musical. You fuck them up, you're fucking up most of the songs. Grrr.

"I Dreamed a Dream" is one of the most iconic songs tho.

Oh god, I didn't even think of this. OP, I got the vodka if you got the popcorn. This is gonna be GOOD. :)

One more for the party... and now I'm hoping for popcorn flavored vodka.

Wonder if it's any good

politicizing a musical about the revolution of the working classes against the wealthy? however could they do such a thing?

Seriously, this. I don't doubt that Fox News will say a lot of stupid things about it, but politicising it? Erm, I'm pretty sure good old Victor started it all...

I think the OP means they'll find a way to make it the other way around.

It really bothers me how any discussion of a story on a political level is a sign of "taking things too seriously or whatever"- guys, fiction is SUPPOSED to make a statement! Certainly, it doesn't have to, and certainly, you can just enjoy the story, but often it does, and while I am a D- literature fan and aren't intimately familiar with this story, it sounds pretty fucking political already.

I'm just in it for the singing, yo.

I was already really looking forward to the movie, but this just makes it better.

I'm really excited for the movie too! There are just so many possibilities....

I... I hadn't even considered that.

Aw man, if there is a shitstorm, it will sound GLORIOUS backed by Do You Hear Those Leftist Socialists Sing?

And all of a sudden I can't wait for it.

(Okay, in fairness I was pretty excited anyway. But now I'm really excited.)

I love Les Miserables and everything, but...I really hadn't thought of it like that. I don't know whether to make some popcorn or hide under the bed now.

Wait, there's a Les Miserables movie coming out!? Everyone move over and make some space for me! (huge fan since childhood).

"Shall we fight for the right to a night at the opera now?"

See, I've always loved how fucking pathetic these revolutionaries were. In the musical at least they have no real support, they get mowed down and they ultimately accomplish nothing. So if they keep it honest to the original I will lol if anyone compares them to modern movements. If they "beef up" the ABC crowd to reflect more favorably on modern movements I will be pissed.

No idea why but the "Obamacare" on that screen cap really made me crack up. The rest of the captions are but funny but "Obamacare" is what really sold me on the image.
