why the FUCK would anyone go see the les miserables in theaters? a) there’s gotta be better versions out there, b) hugh jackman and anne hathaway aren’t charismatic in the slightest, c) it’s been DONE A MILLION FUCKING TIMES BEFORE, d) is there a point to seeing musical theater that isn’t performed live?, e) im sure they surrender at the end.

It isn’t performed live but the singing was recorded live while acting with no voiceovers or anything of that nature, so the singing is raw like it would be at a broadway play. Hathaway did very well and probably had the best performance (or Samantha Barks). Jackman was pretty good but the worst was by far Crowe. Most of the cast (minus the stars) were in the 10th and 25th anniversary broadway shows and they were outstanding. To your point, I mostly agree and wouldn’t see it if I didn’t thoroughly enjoy Les Mis.

I find McCarthy’s writing style to be difficult to begin with (it always takes me a bit to get used to his prose when I start one up) and then that book was just a killer with how it ended. read it right after my daughter was born. not the recommended time to read that one…

The Road is a piece of cake compared to Blood Meridian, another book of his. The book was a chore to read. Not kidding. The story itself was compelling, but holy God was a it an exercise in patience.

I read The Road after when my one first son was about 18 mos. old. The only time in my life a book gave me disorienting nightmares.

that’s what got me, preparing the kid for the inevitable and then it happening, poor kid

yep, that was a tough read. All of his books have a dark element to them but The Road is the darkest. I could barely finish it but I had to find out what happened to the Kid.

I don’t get it. Tim can correct grammar mistakes, but I can’t on Duffy’s piece?

The coop meme precedes me. Anyone care to explain?

Sure, but only because it’s a slow day.

Coop was a commenter who admitted that he kissed a guy in order to get two girls to kiss. It was the staunch defense of his action that solidified his meme as the gay meme. The meme has gotten so big, it’s forced him to enter the Commenter Protection Program.
