THANK YOU. I can't with Hugh Jackman's voice. I thought he was (one of) Les Mis's weakest links and yet he's consistently given things to sing at award shows and the like.

There's a PBS stage recording that was at one point on Netflix. I would start there. If it's not still on Netflix, I'm sure it's floating around the internet somewhere.

I wonder if the Agony reprise is in the movie but not on the soundtrack? I hope so!

No, I agree with you and it's all really unfortunate. I believe these women totally, but I know people who don't and they're not the type who usually discredit rapists' stories. Most serial rapists have MOs, so this makes total sense, but I just don't trust the general public/media to understand that. Because most of

This already seems like it's going to be leaps and bounds better than Sweeney Todd, even with Johnny Depp doing whatever it is he always does.

Scary and horrible, yes. But at least she doesn't pretend to not be racist/classist/etc. like her husband and sons.

Barbara is my favorite Bush. Her frankness is endearing.

I love how the media generally has no problem reporting things without properly vetting them, but when it comes to rape, that point is brought up time and time again.

The fact that this dude doesn't have the good sense to shut up after she graciously dismisses the question...

Good point, and I shouldn't have implied that. But Islamophobia is strongly tied to skin color.

The mental gymnastics include believing that because the stories are similar and because the women are largely in the entertainment industry, women are just coming forward with copy cat incidents to get 15 minutes of fame.

Pretty much any time Lea Michele touches something it annoys me 10x more than it did previously.

Well, shit, those numbers are definitely worse than I thought they'd be. I would echo the point BecauseoftheImplication made about the difference between "is it justified?" and "would you do it?", but I agree that these numbers are distressing.

Yeah, totally agree. I find it hard to believe that 13% are willing to literally pull the trigger.

Yeah, I don't love ScarJo's answer, but clearly the most egregious thing is that these types of questions continue to be commonplace in interviews with female celebrities.

I imagine that 87% number would go dramatically up when polling ALL Muslims in the world. That's a poll taken in a country that is pretty much at war. I think you'd find pretty scary numbers regarding violence when polling Northern Irish and Irish in the heat of the IRA conflict.

Yeah, exactly. They're connected. The people who are going to be Islamophobic about this manage to make the distinction between good and extremist Christians when things like the Oklahoma City bombings happen, but not when it involves brown people.

I was just trying to weigh the pros and cons. I feel like once I look I can never go back to my blissful ignorance.

Be careful what you wish for. Cool, fuzzy animals also include rats and mice.

I am so here for renaming cockroaches "hummingbirds in nightmare crunchy bug costumes".
