I see this, and all I think of are the Japanese dating sims for girls where they draw the heroines with long-ass bangs so you can self-insert. I personally think the whole style is super-cute, but that's another outlook.

Hollywood: Look at foreign rom-coms. Sure they have their own tropes, but you can work with them.

THANK YOU. I'll admit, I haven't watched the episode where Mike died because as soon as I found out, I was like "HOW CAN I WATCH THIS SHOW ANYMORE?!"

It doesn't look like a seizure to me. It looks like a kitten who is transitioning from weaning. He needs to be syringed.

PERFECTION.

That's from Flower Boy Ramen Shop, a fantastic Korean rom-com. :D

Pretty sure that inspiration is "Alice in Wonderland," not Willy Wonka...

1983 girl, and my 2nd grade birthday was ALL ABOUT NKOTB. If you really want to know though, let's look at the year their cartoon was on the air...1990! You were too young, baby girl~oh-oh...

My husband is convinced that GOOP is in actuality the world's greatest trolling project.

That explains everything!

Wow, really? The first one I noticed was, I think, Master of the House...I can't remember, it maybe have been even before that. Of course, the last time I saw Les Mis on stage was probably 1990-something, so...I wonder how recent those cuts were?

"no coffee, no alcohol, no dairy, no eggs, no sugar, no shellfish, no deep-water fish, no wheat, no meat, no soy, nothing processed at all!"

I kind of understand the choice to not include Eponine at the end. All in all, actress-wise, this was Hathaway's opportunity to shine once again ("oh hi, remember me? I'll take that Oscar now tyvm!")—I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'm pretty sure the idea was to bring the show full-circle back to Valjean and…

There's assault, there's prostitutional copulating (is "prostitutional" even a word? My spellcheck doesn't seem to think so...), but as far as rape goes, there isn't any, unless you consider either of the above those things, which I personally don't. (Even if they are both equal in emotion and tragedy, if you ask me.)

Agreed so much on the lyrical changes. I could even forgive Crowe's Javert (because, as much as his singing broke my heart with disappointment...even with my low expectations, he still left a new impression of Javert that made me love the character all over again) but the lyric changes just jostled me from my…

As someone who has had the musical memorized since I was eight - I didn't mind the moving around of songs. It fit the narrative exceptionally well.

Are you me? All these same feelings about all the same characters..!! Javert has forever defined my "type" of favorite characters—and yes, Garrus is one of them. (Thank God he's a LI am I right?!)

Yes I agree with you so much on this.

I'm super-sad to hear that. Javert is my favorite character (OF ALL TIME SOB) and I was really hoping Crowe would surprise me...

Preach.
