But, Ellie, it's more like making an exception for Rent, not Star Wars, isn't it? Meh, it's probably not even true. I can be patient.

Oh my gosh. "Without You" just came up on my Yahoo radio station. I just sat there for a good twenty seconds with my mouth open (in surprise) when I saw it come up. This is so cool, in a weird sort of way.

Weeeeeird. I get all teary and weird when RENT stuff comes up on iTunes now.

I'd hate to be the poor, unfortunate Star Wars fan who's sitting next to you when the trailer comes out, Emcee. But I say that with love.

I still think I'll cheap out and just watch it on my computer when it comes up online. When I think of the fact that a movie ticket here is like half the price of a ticket to see a show, I just can't get myself to go to the movies.

But I love you too!

That's a very valid reason to stay home.

hi everyone! it's been a while, not that i was ever a regular but more regular than i've been.

anyway, i'm thinking about not watching the trailer. imagine the impact of seeing the images for the first time as part of the actual movie, not just a snippet. the only problem is i don't think i have that much self control. plus, that plan might be flawed in that when i see the images for the first time it will be huge and maybe that shock should come before the movie so i am able to "enjoy" it more and not just be shocked that it's on a screen. although that will probably take a second viewing of the movie to get over anyway....what to do?

I *wish* I had the willpower to do that, Alix. I'm so so so impatient. I've already seen some clips anyway, so I'm a bit spoiled, too. It's funny, I'm okay with watching the trailer, but I think that even though right now I have plans to see the movie on 11.11, I'll probably chicken out and want to wait a few days.

"I'm With You" just came on iTunes. I haven't listened to it in a while, and every time I hear it, I realize that I've forgotten just how beautiful it is.

i'm planning to see it on 11.11 too. i hope i can. i just don't want to go when the theatre is too noisy and crowded. in preperating, i decided not to see rent again this summer so it's less fresh in my mind. i don't want to be comparing constantly. i just want to enjoy the movie. i also haven't listened in a while which is really weird. i can't decide if i'll wait out the next few months or end up breaking down and listening.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/27/05 at 6:57pm

Yeah, same here. I'm gonna see it once more over the summer (which will also my the first time for both my mom and brother, I want to be there to see how they react) and then I'm just going to dive right in for the movie, I hope. I haven't listened to it much since they finished shooting in NYC. Don't know why.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 5/27/05 at 7:26pm

i've only seen it once a few years ago. i've been wanting to go back for a while and this summer i would actually be able to go and do rush or tkts but i don't think i want to because of the movie. then again, maybe i should. i have a new appreciation for it and have discovered new things about it since the time i first saw it so i know the second time will be as if i'm seeing it for the first time. i think it will be a much fuller experience even though the first time was pretty incredible. that second experience is better preserved if i see it before the movie but i also want to be able to enjoy the movie on its own. the other thing i'm worried about is the cast. do you know how the current cast is? i know it's gone up and down over the years and only want to go if it's a really great cast.

(i'm leaving now but i should be back later, around 11 maybe)

That happened to me, too. There was such a difference in the way I saw it between my first and second times. The first time, there was just so much to grasp, having had no prior familiarity whatsoever. The second time, I was familiar with the characters and could look for all of those things that people discuss to no end. Each successive time has been a little bit different, and has also carried a lot more baggage, because I've grown to be so attached to the show. This summer will be five. The current cast isn't too bad at all, best it's been lately.

Funny, Emcee. As you grow more attached to Rent, I find myself listening less and less. I wonder why that is.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 5/27/05 at 11:00pm

hmmm, so maybe i will have to see it this summer. i really want to see it with collin hanlon. i know he's usually in the ensemble and does mark or roger a few times a month. i've seen him in other things and i'd love to see him in one of the main roles because he was so great in other shows (tick tick boom, last five years, and a workshop) and he's a really emotional actor so i can imagine him capturing mark or roger really well and making them really human.

is there a way to find out way days he goes on?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/27/05 at 11:04pm

nia, that... didn't make sense. Well, maybe it did. You mean like what I said, about listening to it less with more attachment? I really think it was just because of that night in the East Village. The CD breaks my heart now. It's going to be really strange to see the show after experiencing that all.

Call the box office, Alix. Best I can suggest.
