Random Lighting Babble

*tilts head, smiles ruefully* Rewatched Les Mis. It's as good the second (third, really third-and-a-half, but who's counting?) time around. But ... It's really, really hard to watch something, then try to babble excitedly at people about it, when most of what you're babbling about is the lighting.

( Forgive me, I gotta )

Les Miserables again

My sister and I are rereading Les Miserables. By which I mean, she is reading it for the first time, and I am stealing it every so often to skim through for my favourite bits (and tease her about them, when she has to slog through Hugo's five million chapters-long digressions to get to them). And I just reread the Gorbeau Tenement section.

Javert? Is ridiculously badass. He can make criminals disarm just on nerve and reputation, while his back-up is skittering around behind him. He doesn't even have to fight. (Of course, then he goes up against Mme Thenardier ...) And Valjean? Is a sneaky sonuva. *grins* And poor Marius has no idea what he just stepped in the middle of. Heh.

And I'd forgotten the pistols. Oh, ouch. I'd forgotten that.

When she's done with it, I am totally stealing it back for a proper reread. *nods nods*
