Eddie redmayne yankees11/14/2023 On film, he appeared in “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman and “My Week with Marilyn” opposite Michelle Williams before breaking out as Marius, the romantic lead in the 2012 blockbuster film of “Les Misérables.” He won an Olivier Award for the drama “Red,” then repeated the performance on Broadway, winning a Tony for it in 2010. ![]() He reenergizes the movement and the revolution gains momentum once again.Felicity Jones co-stars as Jane Wilde, Hawking’s first wife.Īudiences have been hearing about Redmayne, 32, since he was a hot young star of British theater just over a decade ago. Just when all hope was diminishing in the Twins’ ranks, a new hero emerged: a veteran slugger named Josh Donaldson, who agreed to fight on with Minnesota. Our protagonist wasn’t as effective in battle for the next decade and fell two more times to the mighty Yankees before retiring.Ī new era of the Twins organization arose later in the decade with a bit more swagger and pop in their bats. Just like Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, our story doesn’t get much brighter from here on out. Your divisional banner will be hung with disdain ![]() Your time is up - when will you ever learn? We begin our mini musical similar to how “Les Miserables” begins - a scene featuring the disgruntled protagonist with great facial hair (in this case, Joe Mauer) falling to the great power that is the Bronx Bombers once again. One casting note: Max Kepler is definitely Eddie Redmayne’s character (Marius Pontmercy) here, because let’s face it: Every female during the French Revolution was wearing a Pontmercy jersey. But so is spending hours and hours transforming “Les Miserables” songs into Twins-related lyrics. New York has won all five series, plus the 2017 wild-card game, in dominant fashion - 16 wins, two losses. Since 2003, the Yankees and Twins have matched up in the postseason six times. There’s definitely a dynamic of oppression in the American League between the New York Yankees and our beloved Minnesota Twins. In order for there to be a revolution, two things need to happen: 1) perceived oppression between two groups of people and 2) a lot of flag waving. But because I just watched this movie and have nothing else to do with my time in #QuarantineSZN besides catching sea bass in Animal Crossing, I wrote up a mini baseball musical … or tragedy? … for you all. Well, it has nothing to do with baseball. So, Tom, what does this have to do with baseball? IS LES MIS A BASEBALL MOVIE? The only other baseball-related thing I can compare Eponine’s pain to? First basemen watching their fellow infielders throw the ball around the horn after a strikeout. I mean, the last time I witnessed this level of commitment was back in the mid-2000s when former Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson was devoted to pitch-to-contact hurlers.Īnd how about her parents? Her mom was a pre-Azkaban Bellatrix Lestrange and her father was an 1830s French edition of Bobby Kielty (that’s a callback to last week’s newsletter, and not to toot my own horn but pretty darn accurate). Without a second thought, Eponine risks her life searching for this blue-eyed wonder, finds her, hooks her up with Marius and sings a three-minute ballad that would make a Sarah McLachlan playlist sound like Pharell Williams.ĪND THEN, OH YEAH, *SPOILER ALERT* SHE TAKES A LITERAL BULLET FOR HIM. Eponine is convinced she’s soulmates with a man named Marius Pontmercy, who is as courageous as he is charming, until he makes eye contact with a mysterious blonde girl at the farmer’s market. My main gal Eponine takes “friend zone” to the next level. For those who don’t, let’s just say it’s like Bernie Brewer after a Christian Yelich bomb. Or, should I say, the arc that is more like the “Scorpion’s Tail” at the Ark. But secondly, excuse me ? The same site that gave “ Freaky Friday ” an 88% rating?! Look, I’ll admit I had Lindsay Lohan posters in my childhood bedroom, but that’s just preposterous.ī y far the saddest part of the movie (or musical, for all you theater purists) is the character arc of Eponine. I just found out this movie has a 69% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. ![]() Pardon me, monsieurs and mademoiselles, but can we dive into this masterpiece for a few paragraphs? I’ll be quick, I promise. If my piece this week is depressing or if I belt out in song in the middle of a blurb, you’ll know why. Yep, that’s the one where Wolverine sings for three hours. This newsletter was written merely minutes after watching “Les Miserables” (2012). So, of course, I waited until Curt and Jake went to bed to start pounding out some words and … it turned out like this. I (Tom) was assigned to write the headlining story for this said week. Not gonna lie, this newsletter took a weird turn.
