I don't know how many of you have come across this website in the past, but is the review that I've been waiting for. After checking in on this site regularly for a few months and just sort of shaking my head in disbelief, I realized that, more likely than not, they'd have quite a bit to say about RENT when it finally hit screens. When this organization didn't have a review up right off the bat, I got discouraged, but sure enough, this morning during my first block class, there it was, and here it is:
"Who would have thought the high-wattage Taye Diggs could sing? Diggs didn't look all that comfortable when singing, but he can sing a lot better than I can. That is, if it was Diggs actually singing which I suspect it was."
My favorite quote so far.
"How do you like THAT 'misanthropic panache,' Mr. Goldstone?" - PalJoey
wow thats really something, my favorite part is "there is no future there is no past- nihilism" and "I can't be what I'm not ... who I'm meant to be", "Take me for what I am or leave me" to excuse ignoble behavior
thats too much. and i love how they refer to the F word as "the most foul of foul words."
closed minded is right, this is a rant not a review
you may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have
"Further, even the American College of Physicians has found the copycat syndrome associated with such entertainment. In their report they find an undeniable link between such programming as in Rent and the abuse of substances by kids of the MPAA "acceptable" age stratum for this film (90% of the study population were under 14 years old)."
That's just funny. I know when I saw Rent, I definitely wanted to go shoot up in the bathroom after it was over.

That isn't as bad as what my cousin (whose dad is a Priest and lives with a VERY VERY Christian family) said to me about this movie. My mouth dropped to the floor...
"Chicago is it's own incredible theater town right there smack down in the middle of the heartland. What a great city! I can see why Oprah likes to live there!" - Dee Hoty :-D
>> I wonder how many folks know that blood and any body exudate or fluid that originates in the blood can carry the HIV. And I wonder if there are any body fluids or exudates that do not originate in the blood. <<
