Adam really DOES look superimposed on that cliff, though.

I think I'd kind of prefer to pretend that the Cliff isn't real.

I absolutely cracked up when I saw the movie yesterday. I was so gone.

He doesn't look superimposed to me. I keep hearing about how the cliff is a lot like a couple of music videos. Since I haven't seen them, I didn't have nearly as strong a response to that sequence. It wasn't the greatest idea, but not a dealbreaker for me.

Surprisingly, no one at the theatre I was at laughed at the Cliff. They did laugh at Mimi coming back to life, the meanies...and during the funeral!

Well, the Mimi thing, maybe, but you can't laugh during the funeral, that's just awful. But then again, my audience was pretty awful in general, so I guess I should have expected it.

No one laughed at my local screening either. It was a crowd similar to a lot I've seen described - mainly kids and twenty-somethings, very noisy before the movie. They chattered right through a making-of King Kong thing. As soon as the movie started, though, they shushed each other and got very quiet. When the RENT logo came up, someone sort of squealed and then everyone laughed, but it was friendly, sympathetic sounding laughter.

There was one girl behind me today who was crying SO loudly. I wanted to hug her. And in the dark between Without You and the funeral, I heard her go, "It's so SAAAAD!" and her friend was like, "Shhh, it's okay." So then when Adam showed up on The Cliff (are we capitalizing it now?), it was so sad! You know how someone tries to make you laugh when you're really upset? It was just like that. She was hiccuping all over the place. I almost turned around to scare the bejeesus out of her, but I didn't.

Awww, poor girl! There were a couple like that at the first showing I went to, which was mostly comprised of RENTheads. The second time I went, it was mostly folks looking for a movie to watch after Thanksgiving dinner. A family of 20 came in and took up the entire last row and then some.

It's nice to have you here again. I was so lucky to see the movie for the first time at Symphony Space with a crowd who loved and responded to everything so much. I was thinking that the audience response seems more important for Rent than for most movies - or is that just me?

Chloe - For RENTfans... audience response is important. For everyone outside of that 'umbrella,' it's just another movie, sadly.

I think we just care about it a lot. I was thinking today about it, because yesterday was the first time I saw it with a "normal" movie-going audience. And to us, it's our baby. To lots of people, though, it's just another movie. The response, I think, is more overwhelming than it is for most movies, though.

Well, what I was trying to say is that how the audience responded affected me a lot. Usually I hardly pay any attention.

There was a couple there today who left right when the title came up, and the first chords of SOL started to play. They must have been in the wrong theatre, but they had been there for half an hour, eating popcorn and chatting. I didn't hear what they said before they got up, but I'm sure they missed the beginning of whatever movie they THOUGHT they were seeing!

By the way, Allie, I think Seth was actually saying "It totally rocks," but that's not nearly as much fun as "Holy rocks." Presumably those rocks are on the Cliff.

It totally rocks? No way! Holy WORKS is so much better!!

Oh right, "works." Yes, much better!

Em!! Send me stuff, too!

I'm so glad the two times I've seen it since Tuesday at Symphony Space, the audiences didn't moo or eww at Angel/Collins or Maureen/Joanne scenes.

A couple pages ago some of you were talking about some picking on Adam going on, I think, on the main board. You don't know which thread, do you?

I will!

People have just been griping about his acting across the boards. I basically picked a thread and ranted on it, just to get it out.

Thanks!

The main board has been scaring me this week. I've only really been checking out the TV Appearances thread for updates and skimming the rest of that board.

I love BWW.com I just thought I'd tell you guys that. :) I am so very random, I'm sorry, I'm on a "4th time seeing Rent" high. Can anyone else not tear their eyes away from Adam's during "Your Eyes".
