Me looking through my ships and timelines and realising so many of them were done dirty either through premature cancellation, killing off of characters, or storylines not being done justice (or any combination thereof). Clearly I have a type 🤔🥲

Les Miserables (2012) - "Behind the scenes".

A comprehensive 'making of' documentary offering a generous look at the 2012 production of Les Misérables, based on the musical adapted from Victor Hugo's novel.

Okay so I went and saw Les Mis 2012 yesterday and let me tell you seeing George Blagden's big beautiful face on screen was absolutely worth the agony I experienced every time Hugh Jackman began to sing

Blurb: Paroled prisoner Jean Valjean seeks redemption.

[bestmusicalworldcup]

On the subject of movie musicals, I recently rewatched some clips of the Les Mis movie with the news of the rerelease. I think most of the performances range from decent to great. Russell Crowe's Javert is not good, but is not the worst thing in the movie.

Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean, however, is genuinely one of the worst performances I have ever heard in a movie musical. I don't think Tom Hooper did him any favors, but I genuinely do not think Hugh Jackman can sing the role at all. And I like most of Hugh Jackman's musical performances too! But I absolutely can not stand his Jean Valjean, it doesn't work for me.

Taylor Swift has recounted auditioning alongside actor Eddie Redmayne for the film adaption of Les Miserables adding that she was there for “a good time but not for a long time”.

The singer, 32, and Oscar-winner Redmayne, appeared as guests on The Graham Norton Show where they spoke about the screen test for Tom Hooper’s 2012 version of the famous production.

Swift said: “Basically I was up for two roles – I had the look of Cosette and the range vocally of Eponine, so it was established I was there for a good time but not for a long time, I wasn’t going to get the role.

“But they asked if I would like to go to London to do a screen test with Eddie, who is one of my favourite actors, and I thought ‘This isn’t an experience I am going to get again in my life’, so I said yes.

“When I got there they put me in full 19th century street urchin costume and told me they were going to paint my teeth brown and I was like, ‘You are going to do that after I meet Eddie Redmayne, right?’

“But no, they made me look like death and it became a nightmare. When I met Eddie I didn’t open my mouth to speak!”

Redmayne, who played Marius Pontmercy in Les Miserables, and was named best actor at the Academy Awards for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, added: “I thought we would just be singing off each other – I didn’t know we would be in each other’s arms.

“My overriding memory of it is that I had had pizza and garlic dough balls beforehand and all I could think about was my garlic breath while Taylor was dying in my arms and I was trying to show emotion.”

I’d Do Anything star Samantha Barks landed the role of Eponine in the film, with Hollywood star Anne Hathaway playing Fantine and Mamma Mia! actress Amanda Seyfried playing Cosette alongside Hugh Jackman’s Jean Valjean.

Swift released her new album Midnights last week to rave reviews, with it breaking the Spotify record for most-streamed album in a single day.

She told Norton: “It’s all about sleepless nights and the hour of midnight.

“I’ve had sleepless nights all through my life and there is such intensity when you are up all night. It’s a concept album and the main question is ‘What keeps you up at night?’.”

On the response to the album, she said: “I am thrilled,” adding jokingly: “But, I do think it’s a little accusatory when people say I broke Spotify. It was my gorgeous fans that broke Spotify!”

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

Who will go up against who is randomized and can be found under the cut.
