How you became a fan:
Well two years ago I was bored over Christmas break and was searching through free movies on Charter On Demand. I came across this one movie called Les Misérables made in 1978. I watched the whole thing, and must have slept through the middle of it because I only remembered the beginning up to Fantine's arrest and part of the barricades (I later re-watched it). As soon as that movie had finished I moved onto watching Count of Monte Cristo. That weekend I saw The Dark Knight for the first time and never gave Les Mis a second thought. A year later (2011) in April, my dad brought home of a copy of the Les Mis 25th Anniversary Concert from the library because of my obsession with musicals. Despite being told not to see it that night, I put it in at midnight, I had no idea what was going on but I kinda of figured out the basic plot. I cried through the whole thing, then I re-watched it. A week later I was reading the book and the rest is history.

Thanks
This is probably old news but I just want to say: I'M GOING TO KILL WHOEVER PUSHED THE RELEASE DATE BACK TO CHRISTMAS!!!! See before, if the world really did end on the 21st (which it won't imo) then I'd be perfectly fine with it because I would've already seen the movie and my life would be complete. BUT NOW if it does end, we'll all have died living unfulfilled lives.
That and we won't be able to spend Christmas day with our families...but that's not a problem for me. Is it weird that I place Les Mis above my family? Probably but I already knew that...
Wow...I ramble a lot. Anyone else mad about the release date being pushed back or am I alone on this?

[NormalHero]

I know seriously what's wrong with people (highly doubt the world will end though, they've had exact times and dates for the world ending before. People think its real because of he flooding in New York and the same thing happened in the movie 2012 but honestly I think it's just a coincidence)

How you became a fan: My parents always used to sing the songs in the car, then they got the dvd. I also did a few sings from it in my drama, like 'do you hear the people sing?' (fav line, 'the blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of france')

How you became a fan: My mom goes to the theatre several times a month, and she bought the sound track years ago after watching the musical. Being a classical singer, I fell in love with the music, and I've seen it several times, including at Queens Theatre in London.
