anyone else having issues hearing it? There's only a Quicktime option, and I hear no Taye.

Turn up your volume and you should be able to hear him.
Cute, Taye. Real cute. XD

Oh please. Someone get the man a candy bar before he cries.
I didn't like how the video portrayed him.

Posted: 7/27/05 at 12:32pmIt worked for me, the whole thing was a bit akward, although still enjoyable of course....
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Posted: 7/27/05 at 1:07pmThe video was weird. It just seemed like really random topics to be discussing, between his wardrobe and smoozing for candy. People said Idina came across as spacey last week, but she was the poster child for Adderall compared to this.

I think that is a fabulous idea Footlooser!!! I was thinking we should all send him some candy bars, I think if everyone did, he wouldn't have a need for candy bars for a long time.
Can't wait for the movie!
#13re: Taye Diggs Video Added To Rent Blog
Posted: 7/27/05 at 1:20pmI thought it was really cute and funny. A bit awkward, yes, but still very adorable. I thought he came off loads better than Idina... but that's just me, of course.

Posted: 7/27/05 at 1:39pmThey made him look like a jerk with the whole clothing and candy bar thing.

Posted: 7/27/05 at 1:45pmHe did come off as a jerk, but it was still humorous nonetheless. And speaking of, I could go for a candy bar right now...

He didn't look like a jerk on the clothing part. The guy has style and a great fashion sense. The outfit they put him in wasn't up to his fashion standards, that's all. In interviews, Idina has even said that he picks out what she wears. So don't fault him for having good taste in clothing.

He chooses what Idina wears? Can we say CONTROL FREAK!
And it SERIOUSLY looked like he was gonna cry if he didn't get his candy bar. He was a four year old!
These videos are a marketing ploy to bring viewers to the website regularly. No substance to them. They don't have to show clips of filming - have video interviews regarding Rent or the movie or something specific. Just not "OK, the camera is pointed at you. Do something."

Haha, I like when Anthony asked him about the clothes .. he looked around to make sure no one big was listening. Greaaat.
The background noise is pretty funny to listen to, too.
He's just having fun. If he was a jerk, we would all already know it, because people would've complained about it.
And Idina didn't say he exacly picks out her clothes, what she said was, "He buys me lots of clothes, and he styles me. It's great!"
She said it when her and JLT performed on The View for Halloween last year.
No big deal, this is supposed to be about the video, not Taye and Idina.

"I'll feel better when I have a little candy bar"
Heh, you just CAN'T hate him.

Posted: 7/27/05 at 4:02pmif it got me onto the set i would bring him a chocolate candy bar..

Same here... who wouldn't willingly give Taye Diggs a candy bar? I like kind of close to Hershey's... I'd be willing to get him a big Hershey's chocolate bar if it got me anywhere near the set.
I loved the video blog, I work till 3 so I've been busy until now to see it.

AHh my sound doesn't work either, I can see the video but there's no sound! I could hear all the other video blogs fine, and I know my volume is up and my speakers are on cause I'm listening to music right now, that makes me sad WHat were they talking about? Anything about the movie?
