@SmartBitches: For @cleolinda and her dubstep fever, which I think she passed to me today: [ANIMALS TALKING IN ALL CAPS link, yesss]

@SmartBitches: Seriously, @cleolinda, passing on your low grade dubstep fever was TOTALLY UNCOOL. I will have my revenge! After a nap.

The Les Miserables movie is getting Amanda Seyfried for Cosette ("In the musical, the character is the daughter of Fantine, who is set to be played by Anne Hathaway") and Taylor Swift has been offered Eponine, to the consternation of all Twitter. "Also already attached to the film are Hugh Jackman (as Jean Valjean), Helena Bonham Carter, Russell Crowe, and Sacha Baron Cohen," and director Tom Hooper wants to film them singing it live, rather than lip-syncing, and all I know about Les Mis is that all the theater kids were obsessed with it and Valjean like steals a loaf of bread or something so Javert chases him endlessly for umpteen thousand years because sometimes justice is not just, so if someone drops that reference I'll get it, and nothing else. Well, a friend of mine used to play "Master of the House" a lot. Wait, I think I remember Claire Danes in a huge bonnet. Okay, I'm reading the summary on Wikipedia now, and I'm getting "French uprising, not the Revolution like I thought; pretty girls suffer." So, what I'm saying is, I should have a blessedly uncomplicated movie experience, free of any previous stagings. Huzzah!

Meanwhile: LITTLE GIRL IN A CROCHETED YODA HAT FOR YOU TO BUY (the hat, not the girl) (I mean, I guess you can make an offer?).

I am tired. *flop*

Oh man. As a Les Miz fan, I feel like I should be more offended at the notion of Taylor Swift tainting a film adaptation with her presence, but - that is really sort of perfect casting. I mean, Eponine's solo, "On My Own," is sort of the mother of all "why doesn't he love me" songs. Before "You Belong With Me" was ever conceived, teenage girls who couldn't understand why Bobby McZitface kept flirting with the cheerleader with enormous boobs and social skills sang "On My Own" into their hairbrushes in their rooms and sighed, because no one had ever loved the way they loved, and they would totally sacrifice their lives to save Bobby McZitface, just like Eponine, and then he'd be sorry.

Wow. I really hadn't thought of it that way, but you are completely right.
