"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 11/24/08 at 1:25pmi think they have to keep the intermission in, or fill the time with one of the "special features" it would be one hell of an awkward transition from LVB to SOL.

Awesome. I'm not sure about a Soundtrack. I'm not up on movie lingo but does this mean the audio for the DVD itself or an actual soundtrack.

Posted: 11/24/08 at 3:36pmI was not crazy about the filiming. It actually gave me a headache and I thought was a big disappointment. However I will rent the DVD for the special features. I am very interested in seeing those. RENT is one of my favorite musicals.

i understand what you mean by headache.. on the big screen, the quick movements were a bit much, but hell, it was a live performance, so thats all you can ask for, so ya just gotta take what you get
im so stoked though :)

Posted: 11/24/08 at 4:55pmWell it wasn't only the quick movements, but all of the tight shots. You rarely got to see everything that was going on onstage. I was just prett surprised they decided to film it that way. I really feel it was a waste of at least 15 of the 20 bucks I spent to see it in the theater. Just my opinion! Wasn't totally crazy about the movie version of the show, but I like it better than the filmed stage version.
