Some dude talking about how, were he in Peter’s position in Spider-Man 3, he’d totally love to go to Mary Jane and ‘show her up and show her what she threw away’ but ‘wouldn’t hit her…maybe’.

It’s that ‘maybe’ which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Also, he might have missed the point where the movie made clear Peter’s behaviour was crappy and he was possessed by an alien!

Okay I’m going to read Les Miserables and I’m going to finish it this time

I REALLY WANT TO READ IT

But I do have a really stupid question. Why do people on the Les Mis tag (and possibly everywhere else) call Enjolras/Grantaire ‘E/R’?

I haven’t actually read Les Miserables yet, but it’s because in the book Grantaire signs his name “R.” The French for “capital R” is “grande R,” which sounds like … Grantaire.

Aha! Thank you!

Currently up to (I actually started about a week ago) the sentence ‘at that moment there came a tolerably violent knock on the door’. Which sounds very Fourth Doctor -ish. Tolerably violent! I quite dig it.
