I was just at the Barnes and Noble store and the clerk told me they re-printed the Rent Bible and many were in stock. You might have better luck cancelling your order and going out and getting it at a store, I've seen it everywhere.

Daphne Rubin Vega was the first to leave and she broke her contract, less than a year, then Idina, then Jesse then Taye, many months later Adam and Freddie left on the same day in November '97 and four weeks following Wilson left. Anthony stayed the longest Jan 4, 1998. None of them reprised their roles. Hope that helps.

re: Rent DVD - Does anyone have OFFICIAL word That Halloween, Goodbye Love

What i read in a draft of the script the second half of Goodbye Love takes place in the apartment. Roger storms in and starts packing and Mark follows, they fight and Mimi is outside the door listening to the fight and then comes in and sings "Goodbye Love", and then I believe Benny enters and the whole rehab dialogue.

There is too much backstory period for this to be faithful to the story of the Vampire Lestat. It cannot be done properly, I've asked and everyone who has seen this show says their isn't enough time to cover TWO novels which are both very indepth. I received a PM regarding this and caveat to all of the posters, I only speak about this from reading the books, the reviews and the posts on this board. So don't waste my time telling me to give it a chance. If i said I loved everything about the s

Producers is not Oscar or Award -worthy

beachman no laughs in my theatre either, I'm a huge Rent fan and came to terms with the fact (as I walked out of the theatre opening morning) that this film is not award worthy. I felt doubly so when I walked out of the Producers. The Producers will not get any oscar noms with the possible exception of a pity O. Song nomination.

So will this thread go on forever :) or is the original poster going to give tally results along the way (jk). I think Rent's winning but then again i've only skimmed. Happy Early New Year everyone! ("you can take the girl out of Hicksville but you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl") - sorry had to :)

My biggest gripe with this man's bit on Rent is that he equates gentrication with pleasant. It's the complete opposite for me. Alphabet city was one of the coolest places to hang before it was gentrified.

Evelyn - I'm glad you are giving Match Point a chance, it would be a shame to not see it cos of the trailer. It was Allen's long long long awaited comeback film.

Bill Mobley, im a filmmaker myself, and your use of the word "messages" is very vague, every narrative has an underlying message, regardless what genre of film it is.

re: LESTAT REVIEW! Must read.

Excellent review, it seems they got the books backwards doing Book II in Act 1 and a part of book I in Act 2. I'm still very very skeptical of this musical since I am a huge fan of the origianl three vampire chronicles. One question how old is Claudia in the play? She stays the same age throughout the play right?

I saw Carrie in week one, I don't remember now but I think it lasted 3 weeks, which I think was too long, it was horrible in every way you can think, and I was hoping that something like Carrie would make people realize not everything can be turned into a musical. But once again, weve got Lestat to deal with now.

Match Point which is finally one of Woody Allen's greatest works and Loggerheads, which is one of the best movies I've seen this year is on that list. Who is that guy anyways? What credentials does he hold? Yes, Rent had MANY problems but was still one of the better movies of the year.

You people are the saddest bunch of people on this board, I'm having a great time cos you're still talking about me! You've taken every bait I put out there, and it's your holier than thou attitude that has led to insults and bullsh*t. And sorry I'm not going anywhere, you're so easily riled, New Yorkers aren't.

Boys and Girls: In Southern California theres a place where everyone can be happy, it's the most beautiful place in the whole f***ing world. It's made of candy canes and planes and bright red choo choo trains, with the meanest little boys, and the most innocent little girls and you know I wish that I could go there, but its a road that I have not found for I am an elitist New Yorker who is blind to everything that is the JOY of Los Angeles. Praise the Lord Brothers and Sisters!
