What I think...
(No, that is not a paradox.)
Here's my bloopers/observations/ooh look a squirrel section. Note: It helps if you're actually watching the videos as you're reading this, it'll make more sense.
Les Miz TAC video: Why isn't Gavroche's name in the opening credits? (Really, it's rather unfair, Young Cosette's isn't there either!) Is this Valjean the ONLY Valjean out there?! "Sweet Jesus doesn't care" I really can relate to the "no props" thing... You try pulling an invisible rope! (Sorry, old fifth grade play...) "How long, oh Lord, before you let me die?" I really like this Javert... He is perfect! It's really funny, seeing the rest of the cast in the background! Sometimes it feels like Valjean isn't singing, he's talking to music... O.o
What is that farmer lady looking at?
*laughing* The bishop makes me laugh! It's the wig... The wig!
"Flight-uh!"
Y'know... The bishop reminds me of a dog...
"Bought your soul for Goooooooooood..." Does it ever end?
"What have I done..." Bad conductor, don't sing!
Y'know, some parts, close-ups are just not good.
"I am reaching but I fall..." I love this part. ^_^
"Begin-uh!" I really love this guy, I do. But he does this everywhere. *Everywhere.*
The chorus people are cool... I want a shirt like that. Except blue.
"What is this fighting all about?" Uhh... there was no fight. At least, none that I saw. ^_~
"At the end of the day she's the one who began it..." In the background, I recognize Joly. (I confused him with Feuilly, at first.)
"On your way!" I like this line better in the Broadway cd.
"I dreamed a dream." I like this Fantine better, she doesn't sound as angry.
"Is that a wig?" *bangs head on keyboard repeatedly (bhokr)* Forgive my sister.
"She's fat." Really, you must forgive her.
The sailors are really good. ^_~ Actors, I mean.
"Ten francs may save my poor Cosette!"
"Old men young men..." I used this against my boyfriend once. And I like the rest of this song alot.
"Tell me quickly..." Bad conductor! Don't sing!
"Oh dear God is there no mercy?" I keep saying this alot...
"But Monsieur le Mayor!" Is that all Javert can say?
"Fantine is taken to hospital" And these people need to retake grammar school.
Slow mo. Never fails.
"Who am I?" Whoever you are, you're not me! And that's just peachy keen!
"He gave to me strength to..." You'd EXPECT carry, but no! It's JOURNEY. Weirdos.
"ONE-UH!"
*gasp* A shot of the conductor... NOT SINGING!
"My Cosette..." is searching for her water bottle.
Oh yes. Three words: Evian water bottles.
"I'll see her when I wake..." Fading is so much better than screaming.
I like the Broadway "Confrontation" better, I like how low Javert goes.
Princess Luna: Wrong way, Fantine!
Meos: God save my sister... *asd*
"Valjean fells Javert..." Fells or feels? *Another PL comment there*
"There is a castle on a cloud..." Really good costume! ... That is a costume, right?
"Crying at all is not *BANG* allowed..."
I'm sorry... I just don't get the Thenardier humor.
I really like these Thendariers... just not their characters. The meany-heads, kicking my Gavvie out like that...
Right.
These people are really drunk... They all don't know which way they're swaying!
"Rest from the bload..."
Hey look, Grantaire looks happy... Must be the booze.
"Filling up the sausages with this and that!" Well, it's better than Burger King.
"I used to dream that I would meet a prince..." You go Madame! Even though you hate my Gavvie.
Again, Valjean sounds like he's speaking rather than singing...
"Treated her like she's one of our own..." Cosette: Liar...
Again, I want that shirt...
Eeep! Gavvie! ^_^ And he has his woman's shawl!
Hey look, it's the whore from "At the End of the Day." You can see her in some scene or another, prolly just before Fantine's letter is discovered. Just look for the hat.
Enojrlas... *drool* Love the hair.
PL: Marius is fat!
Meos: God, save this gamine...
I see Enjorlas is already in the spirit... He has his sash!
I never really liked Javert... Stars and his Suicide always bored me... BUT! All Javert fans out there, don't flame me! I'm beginning to warm to the melodies. But, sideburns? Big turn off.
"Stars... in your multitudes..." I'm sorry, but from the back? He looks bald!
"You talk of battles to be won..." How come Grantaire looks really gay right there? It's the hand thing. It's girly.
"And here he comes like Don Ju-an..." I love Grantaire's joke... I get it! I laughed! Why didn't anyone else? *lost* Marius got it! He laughed!
PL: He's hot. *in reference to Enjorlas*
"Red, the blood of angry men..." Suddenly the stage gets red...
Joly's cute... (I always thought it was Feuilly...) Ooh bah the one in the gold vest.
EEep! Gavvie! Yes, listen, anything he says is important!
"Lamarque is dead..." And there's a green exit sign behind you... Green? What happened to red? Ah, Christmas colors... I guess black wouldn't have worked.
How come Gavvie always has these lame halfway two handed power punches? (If that's what they're called?)
"The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!"
Gamins! Is Navet one of them?
In my life... A heart full of love... Is there a difference? Yes... just one. The melody.
"Every word that he says is a dagger in me!"
I really like this Eponine. ^_^
I don't know why... But I just really like Montparnasse. He's supposed to be very handsome, and he's friends with my Gavvie. He's not even twenty!
"Just the old man and THE GIRL!" *laughs* I just love the way she sings "girl." It's funny!
"Told you I'd do it..." Her scream rocks!
"Across the sea..." Dammit, why can't they just say England? Lots of things rhyme with England!
"What a life I might have known..." I love the song "One Day More." ^_^ It's my sec. fav. Especially the TAC one. The Broadway one is too rushed.
I love Javert and Valjean sharing a mic!
EEEP, lookie! Gavvie's next to his sister! ^_^
INTERMISSION (I know they don't say it, but you just know.)
Funny... Both acts start out with the same notes... Interestin'!
I have no complaints about "On My Own." Eponine is wonderful! I wish I had her outfit! That is such a cool coat, and who can't love the hat?
*bhokr* The conductor... is singing... Somebody shoot him! He has no right to sing "On My Own," God save his soul!
"Still I say..." there's an exit sign behind you.
Wow. I didn't know barricades could be made that quickly... ^_^
On the bottom it says that the students are preparing for battle, but on the screen it says that Eponine arrives on the barricade and is fatally wounded! (I FIN'LY saw it!)
Again... I want that shirt.
"Let them come if they dare..." I always thought it was "Let them come in mid-air..."
"We'll be there!" See, there Gavvie does his little lame halfway punches again! What's up with that?
"Damn their warnings, damn their lies, they will see the people rise!" You can hear Gavvie. Plainly.
"Liar!" Eeep, Gavvie! ^_^ That's right, you show the traitor!
"Bravo little Gavroche you're the top of the class!" This is so cute... Marius puts his hand upon Gavvie's shoulder, he's so proud! He's the cutest father figure for him... (As if.)
"Take the bastard now and shoot him!"
"Take this man, bring him through..." Marius does it again! The hand-shoulder thing!
"Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius..." *sniffles* To watch this... it's heartbreaking.
"Dear God above..." Forgive me. I'm used to the French version. I thought I heard Marius sing "regarde-moi," look at me.
"I'll sleep in your embrace at last..."
"The skies begin to clear and I'm at rest!" Gavvie! He looked so sad, like he wants to shove Marius aside and comfort his dying sister... Of course, in the book, Eponine begs Marius not to tell Gavvie, since "he'd scold."
"Rain'll make the flowers..." *sniffles* Excuse me while I bawl like a child...
"She shall not be betrayed..." Aww, how cute, Enjorlas comforts Marius... *wipes away tear* So touching.
"Fire!" Wow... I guess it's kinda hard to fight an enemy you can't see.
Wow... Valjean sounds like a robot...
"Drink with me..." I love this song, Grantaire rocks!
"Here's to witty girls who went to our beds!" Joly! Cuteness!
"Now she goes across the sea..." Dammit, why can't they say England? And it's a channel, not a sea.
"Life without Cosette means nothing..." You'd THINK he'd say "to me," but no! It's "at all." But the rest of this song (yeah, all two lines) redeems itself.
"God on high..." I never really liked this song either, but I'm warming to a few lyrics.
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" Does it ever end? And it's cute, how he prays like that.
"Until the earth is free!" ... Or at least 'till Valjean finishes changing clothes.
Brilliant lighting effects.
Wow. Slow mo. Never fails. (One shot, they all die?)
As if you didn't get it the first time, they BACK to Gavvie's body, to make it register... "Yeah, that cute kid? Revealed Javert as a spy? Err... Sang about little people and dogs? Yeah, well, that's him, there, he's dead." *sniffle* It looks like he's sleeping... MY BABY!
I'm sorry... Enjorlas looks funny draped over the flag like that... His arm's in a weird position and his hair... Don't get me started on that mop.
*gasp* Twice! Two shots of the conductor... NOT singing!
"Here's a hint of gold..." Heh heh... I really like this song, and this Thenardier.
Cool mist.
That is SO not Marius.
"Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!" And... what was that? Javert's expression... I don't even know what to call it. It's weird, and it frightens me.
Oh please... No... NO! Do NOT take out your hair... *bhokr* piece... *shudders* Oh my...
"I am reaching, but I fall..." ^_^
Really good death scene. Love the "Stars" music at the end, touching.
*Glares.* I HATE this version of "Turning!"
"Turning, turning, turning through the years..." It's TECHNO!
*sniffles* I love "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." It's so sad...
"The very words that they had sung..." Was the conductor singing?
"Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me..." I really like this Marius, he's good. ^_^
So Valjean took Eponine's place? The nerve!
At the end of the song, Cosette cracks!
I love these Thenardiers, I do.
Who is Madame Thenardier waving at?
"This one's a queer, but what can you do?" What? What's so funny?
"Life is easy pickings if you grab your chance..." And your water bottle.
God, that dress...
"Jesus, won't we see you all in Hell!" And that last look is priceless.
"To love another person is to see the face of God..." *shudders* I get chills.
"Do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums? It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!" I get chills again.
Ha ha, little Cosette bows a little late...
Thenardier wipes his mouth, and doesn't bow.
After they stop clapping for the conductor, watch near Cosette. Someone throws an envelope onstage, and she's like "I don't know what to do!"
Eeep! Gavvie!
Watch Marius as they're clapping for Valjean. He's dancing around like a little kid, and frankly, it scares me.
Blah... Talking... Boring... I watched it once. Now I fast forward.
Eeeep! It's a parade of Gavroches! Oh, they're all so adorable... I want one!
Eeep... Valjean and the British Jean Valjean (JVJ) sing together for a few words, and it's chilling.
"A la volontiers du peuple, et a la sante du progres!" (Sorry for lack of accents, stupid server won't allow it.)
*Laughs* The Japanese JVJ... Takeshi Kaga? He makes the funniest faces! After he's done he's like, "Did I do that right?"
CANADA!!
"The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!"
The JVJ from Denmark... Kurt Ravn? Cool name. He looks like Magneto.
*jaw drops.* They're ALL singing... I get chills... I LOVE this ending!
Aww, Javert and JVJ are hugging!
GAVVIE!
Newsies!
"Based on actual events"
"In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of Newsies, peddlin' the newspapers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw 'em carryin' da banner, bringin' you the news for a penny a pape. Poor orphans and runaways, the Newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day, all that changed..."
In the background, you can hear "Stop the World! No more papes!"
"N... E... W... S... I... E... S..." How cheesy! Then again, is this more than ten years ago...
Who in their right mind snaps in their sleep?
Mush has this HUGE grin on his face...
Poor Race can't find his cigar.
What are they shaving? *clueless*
Pause really fast when Jack throws shaving cream at Mush. (Why did he do that? Meany-head.) Mush's look is so funny!
PELVIC THRUSTS! *rotfl*
My sister hates the nuns... I don't know why.
How cute! Boots shares with Snipes!
Race crosses himself.
PELVIC THRUSTS! *rotfl*
What happened, Jacky-boy, you not used to walkin' yet? (Honestly, why didn't they edit that?)
A little boy carries off another little boy... There's a fic on FF.net by Willow that bases a little boy off that, I think it's cute!
Snipeshooter! *lol* He's so adorable... He reminds me of Gav.
Wow. Why do boys have to be so rough?
"Deah me, what is that unpleasant aroma?" Snipes sniffs himself.
LES!
Gee, Davey, what do YOU think he's doing? (DUH...)
Crutchy gets 30 papes. ^_^
Hey RACE! My MOTHER is from Brooklyn. You gotta problem wit dat? Huh? Huh? Not every baby there's born wit two heads!
Why didn't Race just use his money that he gave Jack to buy his papes? Ah! Investment! Jacky-boy will pay him back. Weasel, however, will not! ^_^
"He's older." "Aw, no kiddin'?"
60/40... I'd say that I was bad at math.
*glances at the skyline.* FAKE...
Pulitzer's mean... And boring.
"Then we need to make more profits." How 'bout getting a truce with Hearst instead? *clueless*
Double or nuttin', Pulitzer meant creating THE WORLD, not the pape.
Eeew... boxing.
"... terrifies seagulls?" Davey sounds so sarcastic.
"All this for one sip of beer?" ^_^
"I'm not running any further." Oh, look. How convinient. Medda's. RIGHT there.
"Why was he chasin' ya?" I love this part...
Medda's accent is so fake, it's annoying. My sister hates Medda. (Wanna piss her off? Sing "My Lovey-Dovey Baby." Loudly.)
Gee, Medda, smother the kid...
Now, would you buy a pape from a sick kid AFTER he coughed all over it? (My sister would... "'Cuz he's cute!" I have no comment.)
"... one professional to another..." Wait, Les isn't a professional! What is she talking about? *clueless*
"Licorice whips.." 'Hey, are they watchin' me?'
There's a dummy next to Les... why?
"I loved it. She was great." Either Davey's a bad lair, or being emotionless is just his thing.
I don't understand... The kid was wide awake before...
"Well, half of it's Jack's." No, wasn't it 60/40?
Okay. Watch Sarah's hands. She gives Jack the plate AND a fork, but then he doesn't have one! So he's like "Umm, I need a fork," and then he gets one. (It's enough to make my head spin! Why didn't they edit that?)
Les is SO off-key.
All of a sudden Dave's over there? He just went through the window!
Les is SLEEPING already, why does he need a lullaby?
Y'know, PL hates "Santa Fe," I don't know why... It's like the dreamer's anthem.
"Nobody told da horse." I LOVE that part!
"... we gotta eat what we don't sell!" Someone in the background mimics Kid Blink. (It's funny!)
"I'm barely makin' a livin' right now." I swear, if it weren't for websites, I wouldn't know who half of these people were.
Eeew, Weasel's finger must be so dirty, and he just RAMS it in his mouth... *shudders* Eeew, gross!
"Jack, you done thinkin' yet?" *lol*
"STRIKE!" No, Davey, DON'T kill your brother... He's too cute. ^_^
"Can't get any worse!" Crutchy has a point...
"And the young stand tall..." Les stands up, it is so cute!
"You gotta be ambastards..." *lol*
Why... What is the purpose of Boots going to Brooklyn? I don't get it!
"It's behind ya!"
Les is like, "Davey, help!"
"You seem like the kid in charge." No he doesn't!
"Real hoity-toity."
"That's when he threw us out." *lol*
*Glances at bridge.* FAKE...
Why is that key around Spot's neck? What's it for?
How does Spot know Boots?
"That you're the key." O.o Spot has a key around his neck, and now he's the key...
There's a guy in the background, behind Spot, hitting a stick into his palm. Then he switches hands. Then he switches it again!
What a really cool cane...
See? Les adores Jack, but he's always stuck with Race!
Poor Les, he's always being smothered.
"Let us seize the day!" All the younger Newsies gather on the statue, it's SO cute! ^_^ And Les is their leader!
I LOVE Racetrack's harmonica!
"Yeah!" *lol* Whenever I listen to "Seize the Day" on my soundtrack, I shout "Yeah" afterwards. It's a habit.
I repeat, why do men have to be so rough? Must EVERYTHING be solved with violence with them?
*Lol* Jack smears the glass, and makes a funny noise. And Snipes is armed and ready with... dun dun dun, tomatoes!
It's raining newspapers! Hallelujah, it's raining papes... amen!
Gee, Crutchy looks a little TOO happy with those papes there...
Ten Pin! I love this kid!
I love "Seize the Day Chorale," it's my fav! I LOVE it when the youngers come out with their "drums," and who EXACTLY is that kid that you see first? Oh well, I'll make him up!
What in the world... A body slam? *wierded out*
"Alright, everyone, remain calm!" "Let's soak 'em for Crutchy!" Yeah, that worked Davey...
BROOKLYN!
"Never fear, Brooklyn is here!"
"Hey, I give up, alright, alright, I give up." Oooh, low blow, Race... REALLY low blow... But the guy must've had a delayed reaction or something...
Eee, pulley ride, that looks fun!
Alright, where'd Spot's hat go? (He looks like Leo DiCaprio here, I tell ya! Rather, my sister tells ya...)
Alright. Jackey-boy requests, no pics, but poses for the camera? No sense...
"Freeze... Freeze!" What is Les doing?
Poor Davey, he squished his toe. And poor Les, he's being squished! These Jacobs boys aren't getting along too good...
They never call it Tibby's. It's, "the restaurant." NEVER Tibby's.
Why IS he in a bad mood?
I LOVE Race in this song.
How come Snipes can sing so low like that? All the other younger Newsies sing higher than that. (I LOVE this part.) I wanna spin around on a cieling fan! But my father would kill me. *^_^*
Ha ha, Race doesn't give a drink to Mush, so he shares one with Kid Blink. They laugh, it's cute!
I love Crutchy here... "He looks just like his'self!" "It's this brain of mine, it's always makin' mistakes... It's got a mind of it's own!"
I thought Crutchy wasn't walkin' so good?
I see it! Fin'ly! When Jack comes into the room, the boy (name?) who pushes him back has a white paint stain on his hand.
"Possibly dangerous." Ha! These are his "brothers," Jack wouldn't hurt these boys for his life! Well... Who can sleep like that? Apparently, Jack...
Who wakes up like that? And I'm not just talking about Jack. Why does Sarah look so perfect in the morning? Make-up and hair and everything. Grr.
"I didn't wanna disturb nobody." Too late, you're already disturbed...
Double or nothin', the laundry wins.
If Sarah made breakfast, why did Jack steal a tomato? Wouldn't it get smushed in his pocket?
*glances at skyline* FAKE...
"It's the same sun as here." Many people think Sarah is a ditz. I don't disagree here, but I get what she's saying. She's trying to make Jack stay, by making him realize, he's gotta stop dreaming so big, and that things prolly wouldn't be much different in Santa Fe.
She doesn't answer him... Does she?
Eeew. I hate Pulitzer.
I think it's so cute, all the Newsies with their signs. ^_^
I could say something about street rats here, but it's too easy.
Men. What pigs.
If you have the soundtrack, doesn't Medda's accent in this song make you want to hurl?
All of a sudden, Sarah's hair has "ringlets?" What is she doing there anyway? I don't see any other girls there! Why aren't they there? Huh? Huh?
Wow... I hope you never see so many cops in real life.
Interesting hand position... (mainly on Medda's butt...)
Okay. Every workin' Newsie in NY has to stand, but Sarah gets her own chair and table and everythin'?
"Let me get that correct, that's 'Snider?' As in, 'snide?' Smile sir." ^_^ I LOVE that part! ^_^ I think it's so funny.
"He's just a child!" *sniffle* I hate this part. 'RaceTRACK!'
I really hate this scene... Stupid bulls.
"What's a council?" And who took their hats?
They're not even IN Brooklyn, what is he talking about?
Denton's tie looks like taffy... And isn't he supposed to be poor? He pays for everything!
They NEVER call it "Tibby's." How do they know which restaurant?
With a name like "Francis Sullivan," I'd use an "alias" as well.
"NO!" *sniff* Awww!
What an evil man, that Snyder...
Is there a war going on? I'm afraid I'm behind in my American History.
*lol* I love Les...
Why did they need so many people to break Jack out, but only two for Crutchy? Why did Les need to come along, isn't it past his bedtime? (See? He's always stuck with Race!)
It's magic! How else could Davey have gotten that peg out, when his other hand was supporting him?
Pulitzer's scary... and mean!
I'm scared to think of what Crutchy did to the sauerkraut...
"Stop the World! No more papes!"
I hate it when Jack's a scabber... What a traitor.
That's right, Davey, you don't need the fink!
"I'm not like you!" Especially since my mouth doesn't move when I talk!
I really wish someone could get a punch in there somewhere.
"He's foolin' 'em!" Aww! Les!
"Les, what is this?" Sarah is so monotone.
"Savin' it." Cuteness!
Ah, go suck a duck, Weasel.
"Leave my sister alone!" Awww! Back then, wasn't it impolite, or at least improper, if you went out without your head covered? At least Sarah should've worn a kerchief! (See, Les is excused, because he's just a child. ^_~)
My sister says Sarah looks fat... ?
No! Don't hurt him! Les!
Cries can be heard across the street, but no one else goes over to help?
"And don't come back!" Awww!
Oh my. Sarah whispers, and Pulitzer can wake up. But NOT with a rusty old printing press? Sure.
By the time "Once and for All" rolls around, you've kinda forgotten it's a musical, haven't you?
What did they do for the kids who COULDN'T read?
DENTY! *rotfl* Good God. For some strange reason, this makes me think of dental work...
Awww! Les!
"And the world will know!" I get chills...
Brooklyn!
"STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!"
"It's like the end of the World... Oh dear, I didn't say that." What a loser.
"Go home! Go home! Go home to your mothers and fathers!" Oh my... What a loser. Does he really think that all of these kids will listen to him? Especially over all the noise? Does he really think that most of these kids HAVE mothers and fathers?
"Thanks again." But, he'd have to thank him once in order for him to thank him again, so... Oh, my head.
Ha ha, the stupid horse cuts off the "parade of heroes."
Where's Ten Pin?
Go Crutchy!
"That's Teddy Roosevelt?" Race's facial expessions are just so funny. ^_^
*sniff* Aww! Les!
Aww, lookit the cute little Newsies... ^_^ Right when Jack comes back. (That rhymes... ^_^)
"I got family here." Aww, come on, group hug!
"Thanks Davey." There's been confusion about this. I think David got Crutchy his papes for him. Just my opinion, nothing important.
Les is now turning into a mini-Jack. He has his pamphlet about Santa Fe, AND his signiture cowboy hat...
SO many Newsies mess up at this part, it's funny.
Poor kid, holding that position for so long... That's him! That's the "un-named" younger Newsie! Who IS that kid?
Awww... It's over! Wait, now I get to watch it with captions! ^_^ I love my captions... It's so funny to watch with captions! (It is! I swear!)
