The Count of Monte Carlo
So at work at the theater the other day, a customer came up and asked my co-worker what Monte Carlo was about (it's that new Selena Gomez/Leighton Meester movie).
Co-worker: It's about this guy and his best friend and his girl, and the best friend betrays him to get with his girl, so the guy gets sent to a prison where he meets this old guy who teaches him how to fight and stuff.
Me: ...that's The Count of Monte Cristo.
Not that I wouldn't watch a movie where Selena Gomez betrays Leighton Meester, who then reinvents herself as a vengeful countess.
In fact, since this is Livejournal and probably a disturbing percentage of you are preteen girls, I'm just gonna ask straight-out... if I watch Monte Carlo, how shippy is Leighton Meester going to be with some person-of-ovaries? On a one to ten scale, with ten being any given frame from Sucker Punch and one being... oh, forget it.
