Alright well, it has been a few days and it's been a whirlwind at work. Lots to do and not enough time to blog and work. *sigh* Generally, this is not an issue for me so I will not complain.
However,... today I saw the cast of the new Les Miserables movie and I just had to tell the world what I think about it:
Amanda Seyfried was cast as Cossette. Yes, I just said that. Travesty of the umpteenth degree.
It makes me want to throw my lunch up in my little blue garbage pail at the side of my desk. I imagine the casting directors feel the same way right now - or they should from the stench of their failure on this one. Am I saying she CAN'T be Cossette? - Nooooo,... that would be overly judgmental of me. Am I saying she should not be Cossette? Abso-fucking-lutely.
It's like I am the only person in the world who realizes that Amanda Seyfried looks like the human incarnation of those creepy Celestial Eye Goldfish! Why are your eyes so big?!? - and more importantly, why do you still get to act alongside the hottest men in the world (i.e Justin Timberlake, Channing Tatum and Hugh Jackman) despite that fact? If the media is trying to make me feel like even a regular girl like myself can get these heart throbs than thank you for that, but something tells me that's not it. I think they have actually fooled themselves into believing she really IS hot - as if she hit her movie quota for hotness or something. But, can anyone name a guy who has Amanda Seyfried on the top of their "Elevator List"?? Didn't think so.
Keep your globe-sized eyeballs and get out of what was supposed to be my most anticipated movie of the year. Goddammit! This is not Letters to John, Amanda - your half-assed acting is just not going to cut it and will, in turn, ruin what could have been the most epic film adaptation of a musical in this day and age. And, I knowwww... it's not your fault, but to the casting directors:
I hope you're proud of yourselves.
LAWTON OUT.
