I'd much rather see a comedy of the variety no longer made (i.e. Eddie Murphy), a drama ("American Beauty"), or a thriller ("Man on a Ledge"), those kinds of movies, but guys have too many hangups about being "caught dead" at a chick

I wouldn't mind because Les Miserables looks like a good movie. But if I lose interest, I'd tell my date that I have to use the bathroom and get the heck out of the theater. Not that I would do that anyway.

Yes. Les Mis is a great story. I'd see that waaaaaaaay before I'd see some vomit inducing craptacular sh*t like "Country Strong" or some similar lame Kate Hudson, Hugh Grant, Meg Ryan, Rupert Everett, Hugh Grant, Gweneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts type crap.



Edit: Gweneth Paltrow was good in Shallow Hal. Its the ONLY movie she was good in.

I've seen Les Mis in the theater a few times and it's a really great story. I don't really plan on seeing it in movie form (until the dvd comes out), but if a guys masculinity is that threatened by simply watching a movie then I don't want to be with him in the first place. So I suppose it would be a non-issue.

I watched a live version of it years back in Saint Paul. Yes, I enjoyed it, and the book. I am guessing when it makes it to the second run theater then we will go see it.

Because I watched a DVD of "Titanic?" I enjoy ships and nautical history. I put up with the romance parts. To me, they weren't convincing as a couple. The parts involving the ship are real well done. It also shows the difference between the coddled crowd and steerage on a liner bringing immigrants to America.

It was definitely inspirational to the women I've talked to who've seen it.
I didn't like them, especially the Susan Sarandon character. When they went over the cliff in the Grand Canyon, or whichever canyon, it was sort of like "Ok, so long." They didn't win. They lost. They made a mess and then had to "get out of it" in the most unpleasant manner possible.

See it your self first .
To me it would have far more prodctive a regular movie than a play .
Having seen it I fell asleep 30 minuets into it ,and that doesn't usually happen on movies I have never seen before.
Fortunately I didn't snore ,, but I doubt it would have bothered the 10 other people in the audience, if I did .

As long as she doesn't call it, as the Malaysians call it, "Less Mis - ra - bles".

A guy asked me out (second date). I told him that I would go but I would like to see "Les Miserables". He took me and we saw it together. But before the movie starts, he says, " I don't normally see this type of movie and it would be the first time but I would do it for you because I like you".

At the end, he said that he had a great time and would like to see me again.
I'd take someone to see it. I'm more into the animated movies and stuff younger people might watch but if I like the girl, why not? We can see Nightmare on Elm Street if she's into it.
