lol! I made my whole family listen to it. I'm going to put one of the postcards on the door to my room at school.

My mom (as a joke) took my Civilian CD and hid it because I've been listening to it so much. I started freaking out earlier today because I thought I lost it somewhere. I was going to kill her.

My favorite songs are "Tomorrow and the Sun" and "Wonderchild".

Luckily, my mother hasn't realized the full effect. Today I told my brother that it was "a gift from musical heaven." He looked at me like I was completely insane. I love it so much. I still can't fully express my love for it... it's just so... good. I keep saying how proud I am of Adam, but I really am. YAY! And I can not get over how beautiful "I'm With You" is.

I KNOW!!! ::Melts:: Adam has made my day yet again

The footage of Larson at the Moondance Diner made me sad though He was just so happy! 'Look! I'm making my last chocolte milkshake!' ::sigh:: why HIM of all people?

I saw that. I cried.

[NoDayButToday2]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:15pm

Didn't quite cry, but did get a little teary-eyed. He was so cute! Ripping up the last order and dancing around... I wish they had footage of him throwing away the famous shoes. I think I might buy the DVD's so I can watch that over and over again

Breaks your heart... that it had to happen to him. And the Glory transition was beautiful.

Yes I loved it. This might be my Rent obsession speaking but I don't think they spent enough time on the show's section and didn't have enough footage of the rest of the cast. But that's just me

[stokesrocks]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:28pm

I agree. I was waiting for more cast footage or maybe a mention of how they all got together after Jonathan's death and sang through the show.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:29pm

No, they didn't, but I think that talking about Jonathan does a lot of justice to what the show speaks to.

[stokesrocks]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:33pm

I had tears too. Jonathan was way too young and I always feel bad he never got to see how amazing his show was/is. Whenever I look at the Rent book, I get chills seeing his notes with the lyrics on them.

[NoDayButToday2]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:36pm

I get chills looking at the notes, hearing his voice (TTB rocording) and the pictures of him in the Rent Bible. Those eyes are just sort of...haunting if you know what I mean... I always wonder what he would have accomplished if he had lived longer and what he would have to say about the current Broadway cast and the movie etc.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:37pm

Exactly, noday. His eyes. And yeah, I think that's my major issue with the movie, the casting of the show, etc... Jonathan isn't around to make these decisions, and I'm not sure how I feel about how much right other people have to be messing with his masterpiece. Nothing we can do, though, unfortunately.

[stokesrocks]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:39pm

I wonder what he would say about the movie too. I'm wondering if he would even want it to be a movie. I don't know. That was his baby.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:41pm

I wouldn't use 'haunting'. That makes me think of ghosts. I suppose he is one, sort of, the way his spirit haunts us all. But it's not a bad thing. His eyes... are just full of life. He really had no idea what was coming. The good thing, if there is one, is that he did live No Day But Today. No regrets.

well put insomniak. at the end of last year i saw tick tick boom at george street playhouse. i already knew the music but it was so moving, especially the last scene. it's made so real and every word is weighted so heavily in the show just from knowing what happened to jonathon. also, the day i saw it, jonathon's father was there to see it. he was sitting a few rows in front of me and that also added a new reality to the show. it is such a tradegy what happened, and it is weird that they're doing all this stuff w/ his work, but w/o him.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:48pm

Thanks. I say the same about you- the end of ttB made me almost cry, even though it was happy. He just sat there and played happy birthday, not knowing he had only five more... and accepted that there is No Day But Today. It was almost like he was accepting that he would die.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 10/21/04 at 11:50pm

i get the chills thinking about it. i have never cried during a movie or show and i almost cried at the last scene too! when he describes leaping over the fence and seeing the birds fly up, it's so powerful!

[luvtheEmcee]

Bump... because this doesn't belong on page two. And yes... insomniak, I totally agree.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/22/04 at 4:33pm

I agree with you, insomniak. He NEVER knew, yet he did so much. I think he has the one of the biggest "No Day But TOday" stories. If you think of what he did in his lifetime, it's sad to think of what he could have done after '96.

I don't like the movie without Jon there to approve it or not. I knew he didn't want to sell out, but that's what the movie is doing.

[insomniak]

Thanks, guys.

And you have to remember this about the movie: Jonathan always wanted to be recognized. He wanted to write the show that would change broadway and really, impact the lives of everyone who saw it. He wanted to make a difference in the world. The movie is kind of a way to get that out there to more people. It's not necessarily 'selling out'. It will depend on how they do it.

[luvtheEmcee]

She's right again. I guess it depends on how the movie turns out. If in fact Jonathan wanted recognition (outside of the theatre community), perhaps this is the way to get it.
