Les Miserables

Katz and I went to see Les Miserables, which everyone has been raving about. I'm not crazy about musicals, but that was some really moving stuff.

It was the first time we used SM Cinema's e-ticketing system. Fun! Also, Dear Popcorn, your days as the staple cinema food are over. Shakey's Mojos Supreme, that bucket full of potato slices, is much \ better.

A few things about Les Mis:

• Anne Hathaway did a terrific job. The hair on my arms stood on end when she sang "I Dreamed A Dream" for the first time. But it was disappointing how little screen time she got, especially after all that hype.
• Holy crap, Borat!
• She will always be Bellatrix LeStrange to me. It doesn't help that her hair doesn't vary very much from film to film.
• Every time Amanda Seyfried was in the shot, I half-expected her to go, "I was cheated by you, and I think you know when..."

Perhaps you've heard about the train wreck of an interview Ricky Lo conducted with Anne Hathaway. Lo was troubled, unprepared, and unprofessional. Thank goodness Anne had enough class to not go berserk on him.
