lol BroadwayDiva. Thanks for that, it created the funniest picture in my mind. I can just imagine Justin singing Out Tonight! And J.Lo as Mark...quite an image!

Glad I made you laugh!

But yea-- I'd see it regardless if those 2 were cast as Mimi and Mark. It's RENT!

if the obc is in the movie, i don't know what i'd do. it is upsetting that jon isn't here to supervise but if the obs is working on it then you know that they now the true value of the project and that they share jon's vision and helped shape the musical while working on it with him so that's comforting. but if they're in it....i would be freaking out throughout the movie, to see the obc sing all the songs...wow, if they do it well i think it can be really great. of course the other option is that it ruins it but it will never ruin the show and i think it has great potential, especially w/ the obc *so excited!*

Oi vey, Justin Timberlake in the blue pants... pass the bleach, I need to scrub my eyes out.

But JLO in Mark glasses is funny.

The thing that people (I don't mean you guys, just in general) seem to be confusing is wanting to see the OBC do Rent *as it was in 1996* as opposed to seeing the OBC do Rent *now*. There's a big difference. I mean, sure, chemistry is chemistry, but things have changed between the folks who were a bit green around the ears and the people they are now. It's not a negative thing, but all of the actors are in different parts in their lives now.

I agree. I hope that they don't just drag up their '96 performances- I want to see that they've grown in their roles; Adam in particular because we know he wasn't a great actor. (Still isn't, but he's gotten better)

Exactly, Tiff. I want to see the OBC, but I don't want to see the OBC now in this movie. I want to see the OBC THEN, on the Nederlander stage.

Exactly, Emcee. AND you agree with me that Adam should not be Fiyero.

Are we the same person??

*looks around*
are we?

Hey guys...check out who just posted on page 10 of the casting thread. Maybe it'll make you feel better.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 12:43pm

Oh my god. Anthony posted on that thread!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 12:44pm

And on the CB thread.
I nearly inked myself.

I read that post, and a feeling of relief swept over me. If it would make Jon proud, then I'm happy. And I'm glad it won't be a "candy-coated version of the story", and it'll actually be like it is.

*sighs* I think this might actually be a good movie!

[Type_A_Tiff]

I'm still skeptical about some of the casting, and some of the casting that's left to be done, but I guess I'd rather see the core of the OBC together instead of just, like, one or two of them. And if the OBC genuinely thinks this script will stay true to Jon's vision, and isn't just doing it for the international exposure, then I'm somewhat happier.

[luvtheEmcee]

I really have nothing to say. Nothing.

And Tiff, so goes Fiyero, I suppose.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 1:00pm

Well, that's still a positive.

Anything else I've got to say, I did in a mini-rant on the "Ebonic_Singer....random" thread just now. I guess we'll just wait and see, right?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 1:08pm

And I've killed this thread.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 1:11pm

Oh, I just read your rant, and I agree. Some people will bash a a certain performer when that performer isn't around. But when the person shows up, they're like "OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE AWESOME", when we all know they've made comments such as "OH, why do you like him/her? (S)he is SO bad!"...... that drives me insane.

THANK YOU, Diva! When I read those posts, I look around, like, "Am I on crazy pills here???"

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 1:27pm

You're not crazy-- people can be total assholes and lie about their opinions because that person is around. That drives me crazy!

Example: If Jane (let's just say she's really famous) decided to join the board, all those "Jane haters" would immediately go "OMG, I love you SO much! You're my favorite actress" when there are countless threads of them saying how much they don't like her.

That annoys me, too.
Question: has our Adam source posted anything yet? The one who supposedly talks to him all the time and was supposed to hear something recently?

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 1:44pm

I'm not even sure who the Adam source is, so if they do, indeed, talk to him all the time, then they better post here! And if you are the source, some out and tell me (I'm kinda slow on these things ).

Not as far as I know. I bumped the Casting thread up for that specific purpose, but nada as of yet.
