amoamaGOOD THING 1) It was always going to happen but it still turns out that watching the West End version of Les Miserables with 8 other visiting fangirls is guaranteed to make you need all the fic. The singing was fantastic obvs, everyone's voices slapped me in the face with their power and feeling. We were all leaning on each other and sobbing, it was glorious. Marius was ridic! Grantaire was all handsy over his militant boyfriend and heartbreaking over Gavroche. I love the older, beer-bellied Grantaire! Also the same actor played the Bishop at the beginning which was kinda hilarious. I mostly cried for Javert and his life choices. All in all it was devastatingly better than the film. Also yay, fangirl reunion weekend, it was wicked fun.
Does anyone have any recs or know of any good rec lists I can/should devour? I'm happy to read book-based things too. *g*
because GOOD THING 2) I'm going on holiday on Saturday and need to download all the fics to read while lazing about in exotic Mediterranean locations. I'm going with the irreplaceable
lilithilien who is visiting from Canada and who I've missed so much since she left the UK. I'm so happy to have her back, even just for a few weeks. GOOD THING 3) FILM FESTIVALS! London Film Fest and UK Jewish Film Fest are both coming up and have a ton of excellent stuff going on. Am waiting till I get paid tomorrow but I have big circles around far more than I can afford anyway! All the big films are basically sold out at this point but I don't really care because that's the stuff that will get an ordinary release too down the line. I'm gutted about The National docu, Mistaken for Strangers, already being full though. :(
Also I just re-watched The L.A. Complex through again and it was still utterly fantastic in the best, most fucked-up kind of ways. *sigh* WHY YOU ALWAYS GET CANCELLED CANADIAN SHOWS?
Wishing you guys all good things as well!!!! *smooch*
