So here's a little sunshine to brighten your day, actually your life.
25 Reasons We Are Abnormally Excited about Les Miserables- stolen from here and sent to me from the fabulous Lauren Richey (a fellow fanatic).
You'd better believe I want a sing along, I want a sing along oh so bad.
1. When Eponine comes in with "he was never mine to lose" in "A Heart Full of Love." Mmmmbest. (It comes later than you think. Fourth verse.)
2. We have to assume someone is organizing an unofficial-but-come-on sing-along screening. This sounds like fun.
3. So many good cries.
4. Possible uptick in babies named "Enjolras."
5. Wolverine is going to sing "Bring Him Home"!
6. Being able to call every weird trash heap of discarded and presumably bed-buggy furniture a "barricade."
7. The end of having to hear about Anne Hathaway's diets.
8. Helena Bonham Carter's side-eye. Helena Bonham Carter's everything, really.
9. It will suddenly be okay for a few weeks to, like, reenact important scenes from Les Miz at a bar. "We just saw the movie," you can say if someone gives you a stink eye. "I just saw the movie," you can say if someone is doing the scene wrong and you want to jump in.
10. Anything that references the spinning stage.
11. Russell Crowe's inevitable jaunty hat line — a tri-corner in every color!
12. The movie version of "One Day More" making its way to YouTube, so we can send it to people the night before important events (weddings, trips, etc.). Not that we don’t do this with the tenth-anniversary version, but you know, options!
13. The confusion that will sweep over the theater when the new song plays.
14. Dancing!
15. Sasha Baron Cohen's cockney accent.
16. Seth MacFarlane singing “Confrontation” at the Oscars in voices — Brian as Valjean, Stewie as Javert.
17. People going as Javert for Halloween next year, and then being confused for Captain Crunch.
18. Better close-ups of the little miserables children running through the streets. (They don’t actually look that miserables, but they are cute!)
19. Sitcoms making Les Miz jokes in two to three months. We’re looking at you,New Girl.
20. Taylor Swift’s inevitable revenge cover of “On My Own,” with the words changed to shame Samantha Barks.
21. Measuring time in Les Mizes. Set your crock pot for two “Les Mizes” and you’ll have the best chili in the world.
22. Eddie Redmayne as heartthrob. It is his time!
23. Changing all our passwords to 24601. Just kidding, we didn’t do that; please don’t try to hack into our e-mail.
24. More Sesame Street Les Miz spoofs like this one.
25. A guaranteed two hours without anyone talking about The Hobbit.
It's almost here people.
I'm so so excited too!!! We were in NYC for a day last week and every time I saw the huge billboards I pretty much got goosebumps and would go on and on about how excited I was. The people I was with probably got super annoyed. They just don't get it.
