WRQ, check fandango for theaters showing Rent. There are still a bunch of places showing it in the DC area.

Just wondering, was the Chess benefit with Adam and Raúl and Julia from last year taped? I mean, like semi-officially in the sense that I can buy it from Broadway Beat or BC/EFA or something?

Yes, it was taped; Seth tapes all of the concerts, but you can't buy them legally.

Not the same one Chloe was talking about, but I do love that.

Gotta love Raul's hips.

By the way, wrq -- I think there's a distinction between being intolerant and simply not wanting to see it. Not that I like either, per se, but perhaps your friend is fine with people doing what they want, as long as she doesn't have to look at it, which is a little bit better than totally hating. Kind of like "do you what you want, but not in front of me," in the same way that people just think PDA in general is really tacky.

"K, now my friend...see she's the kind of person after a show/movie I'll say what did you think she'll say "it was good." And not a word more, I'm the kind of person that loves to talk and analyze things and it drives me crazy."

Heh, I am totally the same way. My mom gets annoyed sometimes when we watch one of our favorite TV shows together because I'll be busy looking for moments of foreshadowing and pointing out the symbolism of the episode title and she just wants to sit back and watch.

"But something got me really thinking...don't rememebr why it came up, but she basically revealed that she's not a fan of seeing men in drag, two men kiss or two women kiss. Not that she thinks it's wrong or wouldn't tolerate it or that she didn't appreciate like Angel and Collins' relationship and was certainly moved by it, but just something she doesn't like to see. Of course I jumped on this was like, what, why, you have no problem w/ a guy and a girl, blah blah blah, and she made me feel like I was overreacting, reiterated she doesn't think it's wrong or anything. So I dunno. My instinct is to say even that viewpoint is kinda wrong, though not as bad as it could be, but I dunno, is it more of just like...something she doesn't like such as a movie? Is it different strokes for different folks? What do you guys think?"

I think the key here is that from what you're saying, it sounds like she was fine with watching a guy and a girl kiss, but not two guys or two girls. So, it's not just that seeing people kiss sorta makes her uncomfortable, but on some subconscious level the same-sex kissing bothers her even though on an intellectual level she respects that people have the right to love whom they want to love. Sorta like my mom, who believes that diversity is a good thing, important, etc., but would probably flip out if I ever dated a guy who wasn't Jewish. It's not right, and it's more than a little hypocritical, but at least it's a bit more enlightened than outright prejudice.

"Billboard--8AM--ouch! I had a choice between a Friday class and an 8AMer, elected for giving up Fridays."

I'm sorta lucky in that most of the classes I have to take aren't offered on Fridays, because if there is one thing I will try my best to avoid, it's taking a class on Friday. That, and taking a really late class (as much as I'm dreading the 8 AM, I'd much rather take that than a class that starts at 5 PM). My poor roommate actually had a Saturday class this semester (she plays the harp, and her instructor scheduled the lessons for Saturday).

"But for you and everyone else, it's good that you don't sleep too much later on weekends than you do over the week--it contributes to insomnia and can severely throw off sleep schedules and can be unhealthy"

Good to know, since my sleep schedule is pretty bad as it is (no matter how much sleep my body actually needs, I usually wake up after 6 or 7 hours. Even if I stay up late on the weekend and don't go to bed until 3, chances are I'll be awake before 10).

"Anywayz, you certainly have a right Billboard to get up. I used to get onto my labtop and was able to type so quietly that my roomie would wake up a little later and not know I was up. "

See, my problem is I'm not very good at being quiet. I have long fingernails, so I tend to make noise when I type, plus I'm rather noisy in general.

Thanks for the feedback - so maybe I won't get that Broadway Beat video. I've only just now been able to play the shows they stream on their site, so didn't know what they're like in general.

I can understand the discomfort a lot of people feel with same sex PDA. It's kind of like how little kids go "ew" when they see any kind of kissing. Maybe it's partly a matter of getting used to it. I think we can differentiate between holding a biased position intellectually and having a visceral reaction ooutside of our control.

Okay thanks for the input guys! I definitely see and agree it's better than thinking it's wrong or not tolerating it, I just didn't know where to put my feelings about it...whether it's really not something I shoudl think is wrong at all, like not liking a similar movie, or whether I can say it's not that bad but I still think it's a little wrong, but accept there's nothing I can do. Think it's the latter.

Thanks skittles! My friend actually lives in Harpers Ferry, WV so if it's playing there, that's where we'd see it, but I'd be willing to drive into DC to take her if it's not there.

And who likes the rest of 2005 year icon?

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:34pm

He's pretty.

Who is that?

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:34pm

wrq, that icon is adorable!

[Atrias]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:35pm

"Who is that?"

And more importantly, what's on his head?

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:38pm

Tsk, tsk...I'm such a shill.

The wonderfully, talented, gorgeous Gerard Butler. He was the phantom in the phantom movie, has also been Dracula in Dracula 2000, in Lara Croft 2, Her Majesty Mrs. Brown, Dear Frankie(an adorable Scottish film)) and is working on two movies currently. For more info:

Well...it's supposed to be a Yamaka, my BWW friend from Hungary made it for me but it was really funny how I had to explain to her and show pics of what a yamaca is. It has an odd pattern to it, looks a tad...Indian...but it's close enough, I love the icon lol.

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:39pm

Why the hell is he wearing that on his head? hm.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:40pm

I've been to Harper's Ferry. My dad goes hunting up there occasionally.

I also intensely dislike PDA, it's just tacky.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:40pm

I don't miss high school PDA. haha, so tacky.

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:40pm

Oh! I know who he is. He looked different, that's all.

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:40pm

My way of wishing everyone a Happy Chanukah? I mean lotsa ppl put Santa hats on their icons, so I put a yamaka on mine, even though he's not exactly Jewish..but I am

[Atrias]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:41pm

*shivers* Harper's Ferry is filled with bad memories.

And I feel stupid for not recognizing Gerard.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:42pm

Probably 'cause his hair is long there, Atrias.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 3:48pm

Heh, that's a rather large yarmulke.

Don't get me started on tacky PDA. A couple of weeks ago, I had to go to a meeting in a study lounge on campus, and the whole time I was there this couple was making out on one of the nearby couches.

[JLSatUD]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 4:13pm

ugh ... you'd think it would change when people left high school .. but last year at our work holiday party a lot of teachers were drunk and making out on the dance floor. I couldn't get over it - why would you do that near your colleagues and your boss?!?! Yuck

I am beginning to really miss Rent. It's not in theaters here and I'm like- Okay, ready for the 2-disk DVD (so says someone on the IMBd boards- I hope it's true)!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 5:39pm

they're doing something next on the news about Broadway longing for crowds today. it should be interesting.

[Chloe]

Posted: 12/21/05 at 5:48pm

I still have a chance to see Rent another time or two, but what I'm missing is all the foreplay. I got so addicted to watching for little bits of info, pictures, the trailers, the promotional appearances. The best part was sharing all that with so many others.

Which news show, Fantabulous? I don't remember whether you're in the NYC area or not.
