Aw! I'd tell you to say hi back to him from me – but I guess that would require some going back in time...
Thanks anyway! And hey, if you find out what he'll be doing next, let me know – I'd of course love to see him onstage again!
Ah, I know that feeling about the Les Mis movie, I have a sort of a love/hate relationship with it myself, too... I agree about Hugh Jackman. His acting was fine, but the singing. Oh man. It's so painfully clear the part doesn't suit his voice, especially during Bring Him Home! (Odd how Russell Crowe gets all the hate, his Stars is pretty much the only thing I listen to from the movie soundtrack...)
I also think the movie has way too many closeups, and personally I don't find the barricade boy scenes very interesting (they're usually my favourites). Maybe they were cut down too much, almost everything Enjolras and Grantaire say during Red and Black is gone... But then again, I really liked what the film did with the character of Fantine, and how it switched songs around to make more sense, and the Gavroche was amazing, as was little Cosette, and did I already mention I love Russell Crowe as Javert and cried like a very very sad waterfall during Stars just because I thought it looked and sounded so pretty...
So yeah, not completely disappointed!
(Sorry, this is turning into a rant.)
