Hang on, a movie based on the stage musical, based on a non musical movie based on a book?
What a disaster. The black and white French film is very watchable.

Nope.
The movie may have had it's faults (most do) but my other half loved it and that helps.

Agreed.
I've foolishly followed links to a couple of those "movie critique" things, and been hugely disappointed by them each time.
It looks like a "mom's basement" kid or two, using free video-editing kit on illegally downloaded movie files, and overdubbing a snarky, nonsense... I'm not going to call it a critique, because it's just snarky nonsense.
The world is not made a better place for the existence of this cr@p.
Oh, and I hated the Les Mis movie.

I actually liked the movie.
Maybe it helped that I never read the book, or saw any other films or theater presentations.

I remember way back, to somewhere around 1982, when I was still in primary school, our teacher took our class on a major big outing right into the big city, by train and on foot, to go and see the 1978 movie. Even at that age, around 12, it had this otherwise restless little kid quite enthralled, and it stuck in my mind for months afterward. I think I tried once, in fairly recent years to watch a more contemporary version, but was distracted, and not moved nearly as much by it as by my first viewing. I can still sort of remember scenes from that one some, say 33, years ago.

The film is worth a watch. The ****-tube supposed critique ..NO. Clearly produced by a pillock (*wondering if that wonderfully English word will be picked up by abuse filters*)
The film was actually quite true to the book in many ways. I am not saying I enjoyed the book ... who wants to read an entire chapter (long long long chapter) describing the development of the Paris sewers?? Er... I actually found it guite informantive ... however ... we'll pretend I never typed that.
I was the boring geeky one who could answer the "why is he walking in the mountains in the snow" and "what is Javert's problem"
Reality ... if you don't like musicals/operetta/opera then why go to see the show/film in the first place?
If you do like that stuff... it wasn't half bad

If it's well enough written, I could enjoy a whole book on the Paris sewer development. Then it's informative and entertaining.
BTW, "pillock" is very often a compliment vs. an abusive term. For some lower order individuals.

Do it in this order:
1. Read the book - the hole book!
2. Watch the movie
3. See some stage performance - like the 10th anniversary
I do not know those created this 'Everything Wrong', but CinemaSins are totally dumb. Knows noting of history, connections, music, performance and movie...
Do not waste your time on watching these 'Everything Wrong' creatures - focus on the movie and make up your own decisions...

I would change the order 
1. See the stage show ... become transfixed and thoroughly enjoy the experience
2. Read the book out of curiosity, wonder at it's length and confuse yourself by actually keeping turning the pages of description of mundane things (see my previous comment)
3. See the film ...

Wow. Everyone's taking this way too serious.
Whether you like the movie or not is irrelevant. The video about what is wrong with it is funny. They do most all the movies, they're funny. Get over it.

I'm working as devops in a SASS project with SQL Server .
My final goal is automatise the deploy process of the olap cube (or SASS), I'm getting hard time try to do it.
Anyone have experience in this kind project?.
Can provide me information or material to study
What i need is find a way to do all the process by command line. i have some parts of the overall process already resolved.
But what keep me frustrate is find a way to process the cube by command line
Background of the project
The datasource of the project is a virtual database,in consecuence, it's can read information for any data sources (other databases like SQL Server, Mysql or even documents like XML, spreadsheets ) and expose as single source to the cube.
more info in this link.
Before process the cube, i need to be able to stop scheduled jobs in the cube.
When process the cube, it get information from the datasource, if there are 50 million records in the vdb, they are fetched into the cube. there is no way to skip this part.
After finish to process, The final step is run some unit test made with NBI testing framework .
After finish to process i need to run some test made with NBI testing framework over the cube.
For example
> > If the field fiscal_year exists in the date dimension
> > the query X is not doing a fullscan

I think I just asked my most confusing question ever on Q&A, but without posting more than enough code to where out your scroller, I have tried to rely on (not plain) English to describe a nasty Catch 22 I have between WCF and WPF. I have created a design deadlock whilst trying to avoid runtime, threading deadlocks.

Just think how bleak and boring your life would be, if your vocation were to operate a bottle-top stamping machine.

I've kept myself amused in a few boring, repetitive jobs by solving how to automate them, in my mind, while doing them. It's never been as ugly as bottle-top stamping, but attractive enough things like data capture and editing, or tracing cable pairs.

I was wondering where my scroller went when I was out. But, you left out the details of your last meal, and how you slept.
thanks for sharing, Bill

I had quite a frustrating sleep, fill with dreams of testing my service and not being able to make it fail gracefully, or fail at all.
Thanks for asking, Bill.
