Wow, he's BUSY! I was just reading that article. Press for Rent, two more movies on the go, a book coming out...
Good for Anthony - I hope is band does really well. And what a great name!
Emcee, I think you're right about the Cybele comment. If she'd actually been quoted saying anything like that, you at least would definitely remember.
When I read this news one of my first thoughts was about Adam's earlier statement in the Times about not being able to make a living in the theater. From the way he talks about his family, you just know that he wants to support them in style, not just scrape by. (I'm thinking about the "warm and safe" blog right now.)
And comforting upset fans with insomnia. What a guy!
ETA -- my honest, slightly not-so-nice opinion is that if he REALLY had that much going for him... wouldn't he get movie offers in New York? I mean, maybe he has to go and be present in LA, and for all I know that'll change things... but... other people can have film careers and not have to go away. I feel like if he's really good enough in this movie for people to take notice and for him to become a commodity in the film industry, then he wouldn't have to go -- he'd get noticed regardless of where he is. I don't know. I'm just sad.

I'm glad about the comforting. You need to sleep eventually!
I'm sad, too. But New York is his home. He'll be back!
I fell asleep around 5:30.
I feel like saying goodbye to him is going to be like saying goodbye to a friend, especially because I'm not totally anonymous to him anymore. (Not to say that I equate him to a friend, really, but I'm attached. It'll be a tough one. Not that goodbyes are ever easy.) That's stupid, but I'm sappy. Maybe all of the beautiful memories I've got piled up from this month came my way for a reason. I mean, I remember what it was like to see him on stage again after all of that time, and how it makes me happy in a way that... I can't think of anything else that makes me react that way. I know I've had my fair share, but it's sad to think... what if I never get to experience that again? I'll live, but... it's upsetting.
I'm not sure, but I think it's harder to get work from here, especially if you're not established. Moving there might show some kind of commitment to the whole idea, and of course auditions are a lot easier to get to.
Letting my imagination run wild (as usual), I'm wondering if he got picked up by a fairly major agent who has gotten him a bunch of possibilities and urged the move. Still, it seems very, very bold and risky.
(Imagination continuing to gallop along, wouldn't it be funny if this wasn't true at all?)
Wouldn't that be nice? I have this sinking feeling that it is, though.

If it wasn't true, I think I'd be able to hear the collective sigh of relief from where I am!
*hugs pillow*
I don't like this.
Raul's going to get a lot more love from me now, I guess. Someone's got to.
Well if it is true, I feel quite sad about it as well. Surprisingly sad. I'm just glad that I had a chance to see all the benefit performances he's done here in the last month.
I'm not surprised by my sadness. This is just how I operate, and I hate it. I shouldn't care, in theory. It shouldn't matter to me. I just didn't expect this.
"Raul's going to get a lot more love from me now"
Aw, don't say that! And now I feel jealous of Raúl on Adam's behalf - how messed up is that?
Well, Adam's just going to be too far away. (I mean, if Adam stayed in New York, I would glady stare at him and not speak on any day he so desires. I think that's a fair deal.) And I'm so loving, you know, I'll need to project it SOMEWHERE.
God, he's going to hate me.
Who's going to hate you?
You'll have your chance to stare and not speak at movie screens for a while at least. But you'll probably say that it's not the same.
I managed to tape On the Set today, and really enjoyed it. Adam had some some great expressions and little bits of business. I especially liked the big smile during either LMC or I Should Tell you (can't remember) and his funny look during LVB before he helps slide Anthony down the table.
I'll tape the next one for you, Emcee - think it's Sunday. And Allie, I'll be glad to do the same for you, if you want.
Raul. I jest.
I remember when Patrick Wilson first went off to make movies, and I was really sad. I sort of hoped that nobody else would flit off to do the same. *shakes fist at Hollywood* You've got two, you can't have any more of them. I say so.
It's actually ended up online, so no worries!

You tell Hollywood, Emcee!
I got the show, too, Chloe, but thanks! I'm kind of far away to be mailing things to, anyhow.
There won't be any pieces of this fangirl's heart left to break if that happens.
I know it's online, but you'll see a lot more on a tape, believe me. Adam looked so wonderful in some of those clips, it wouldn't be surprising if he got more work out of this.
I know, I know, "damn Hollywood." My ideal scenario was that he was going to get some recognition from the movie, then get a great Broadway show to be in for a while, then maybe make another movie. The thing about moving to LA is that it makes it pretty difficult for him to do theater here for any length of time.
I'm still wondering if this is true. Maybe the original poster misread that article, and he was actually talking about trying to get film work rather than moving.

Look, I found the Out Tonight video in Quicktime format on the Rent soundtrack site. Woo! It's little, but I like Quicktime better than Windows Media Player.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow: I bake triple chocolate cookies and my dad comes to take me home for the long weekend, yay! 'Night, you two!
Out Tonight - Quicktime
Exactly. Ideally he could do both, and not have to make the switch so entirely, and so drastically. This is just kind of big. And if I stand by how nice I always say he is, I suppose I should assume that he'll remember his fanbase back home. Maybe we'll see him again.
People will hear my sigh of relief in China if this isn't true.
ETA -- 'night, Allie.
Good night, Allie, thanks for the link! That's the first QT version I've seen.
It's much clearer.
I guess after last night I should get some rest.
(Two more sleeps!)
Goodnight!
lol. yay, us West Coast ppl finally catch a break! um...no offense. hehehe. maybe i'll actually get a shot at meeting him
