I get that the target audience is too young for it to be rated R, but if they cut stuff out of TPOBAWF in order to make it PG-13, I’m going to be highly disappointed. There were various violent but pivotal scenes in the book that deeply affected Charlie.
Also: quit bitching about the casting choices and wardrobe. Stephen Chbosky directed the movie. He made the characters look how they were intended. It’s his book. Suck it up.

+I just had the most awkward moment of my day. A guy I know started spitting his transphobia about Laura when I mentioned that I’m going to see AM! tomorrow, and I flipped the fuck out and teared up. I don’t know how she handles people like that, because I cannot tolerate it.
Grant me serenity.

+there are like. fiveish? fun. songs that i really enjoy
but everything else they do is kind of awful i’m sorry. like honest to god boring and awful; stop telling me to listen to aim & ignite because it’s not good i don’t want to.
This is 100% my opinion on fun. as well!
+I need to make this as short as possible:
My favorite musical is getting turned into a movie (Les Misérables) and all of this time I was under the mistaken impression that Anne Hathaway was playing Éponine (my favorite character). This was the single thing that worried me the whole time for this movie, because I don’t think she’d be fit to play her (not that she can’t act, but I LOVE Samantha Barks as Éponine from the 25th anniversary special and she’s my dream Éponine).
Then I see the trailer a few times and it took me three views to realize (I think I was so excited for the movie that I didn’t really watch what was going on in the trailer) that Anne Hathaway is Fantine and the girl in the street is SAMANTHA BARKS and IMDB corrected and erased all of my fears.
HOLY SHIT I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.
