TIL a nutrition professor lost 27 pounds off of a "Convencience Store" diet of Twinkies, Doritos, and sugary cereals in order to prove that weight loss relied on caloric intake, not nutrition.

Eponine sucks at dying. I can still see her breathing.

Valjean shows up right when Marius reads the letter. What timing.

The man with the afro who holds up the flag. Weird.

I wish Javert would just commit suicide already. Hopefully he does in this version. The battle is sort of silly in its choreography. That explosion...

They completely cut out the Thenardier storyline. That's a lot of story left out.

Firing squad. Poor Mr. Afro.

Will Valjean have to crawl through muck as high as his chest in the movie like the book? Yes he will. Cool.

But they left out the part with the key to unlock the sewer gate. And the Marius doll looks dead.

Javert's breakdown is a little less believable here. They skipped it though. Boo. That's a powerful scene. You can't just skip it.

The love story was rather shallow as well. I know that you'd is apparently the most expansive adaptation of the novel, but it leaves so much out!

Cosette Pontmercy is such a weird name. And Gillenormand's dancing. I'm speechless.

Cheesy ending, but good enough. Also the only time we hear of M. Myriel by name.
