I will read your rant momentarily Tiff, but I agree about people who suck up like that. Annoying.

Emcee, are you upset that he's doing the movie now? I know what you mean about wanting to see them when Rent was brand-new and really something to talk about. I agree that it would've been better back in the day, but to have them there, or at least their approval of Columbus, is kind of like a safety blanket. (I have to wonder if Anthony is just a bit biased, though, because they've worked together before and all.)

And yes, b-way buff has yet to post. Things may still be in the decision stage, maybe Adam hasn't really made up his mind.

I think the fact that he hasn't posted - be the not posting an intentional act - is just to keep us hanging. Wouldn't be surprised.

I don't know what to think. Really. I mean, yes, I'm happy for him, if this is indeed what he wants. Of course - no matter what, if it's what he wants, I'll be happy for him. Even if it turned out to be Fiyero...
I just... I feel like this movie isn't going to have the integrity that it should - I'm just not a fan of Columbus' work with his last film adaptation, really. HP wasn't bad, but there were things that I didn't really feel were right. I do know, though, that they wouldn't do this if what they were seeing so far isn't good. I think it's the quality of the movie is still very much open to what happens in the next few months, but I'm just really apprehensive. I don't have a good feeling about the way it's going to turn out, other than the fact that they have the OBC. Meh. That makes no sense. Maybe I should go for a walk and stop thinking about this.

I actually thought Harry Potter was pretty bad. I was a fan before most people in the US had heard of the books, and I was sorely disapointed with the whimsical take in the films.

Columbus has made it clear that he intends to make this a gritty, R-rated movie, though, so I wouldn't worry so much about that. What does concern me is that he might go overboard on the roughness and it will come out looking fake. Even if Anthony Rapp thinks the script is good, other things could still hurt the movie.

Maybe you should go clear your head. This isn't life or death, though it feels that way.

wow. i understand what you all are saying about the obc. i just think that it would be cool to see them reunite in their original roles.

Again, I think Emcee and I are the same person. Except I don't feel like walking. (I feel like finishing this goddamn essay which is due in 4 hours, but now that Whiteboy Spice is online, I can't pry myself away from here!)

"Let's WALK!"

Okay, no... the coffee shop at my school just started selling HOT apple cider. Yay for Fall in the Northeast. So I went there... now I'm back... and I still have zero comment. I kind of need to see a press release, I think. I totally believe Anthony, I think I just need to see it before it sinks in.

yeah. i believe anthony too. this is all so confusing!!

and exciting.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:06pm

And weird. And mind boggling.

I think it's more the need to see, like Variety, or a real publication announce it.

Then it'll hit you.

Like a ton of bricks.

Ummm...fluffy bricks.

Oooh, Anthony just posted.

::ditches everyone here to read the message from her new best friend.::

Nope, actual bricks.

What Anthony has been saying has only made me more excited about this. I trust him when he says that it will honor Jon's vision.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:15pm

I trust him, too. The more he reassures us, the more I'm relaxing about this.

November/December 2005 seems SO far away.

It really isn't, though..... it'll fly.

'What Anthony has been saying has only made me more excited about this. I trust him when he says that it will honor Jon's vision. '

It's sort of weird. I was leaning towards been keen about the RENT movie initially, and then when I found out the OBC would be involved, it made me worried a bit. I've got a few theories, but I can't pinpoint exactly why. I just know I'm feeling kind of anxious about it.

Am I weird and/or stupid??

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:24pm

I feel exactly the same way. We ARE the same person. I just... I can't pinpoint exactly what I think about the whole thing. I'm happy for them... but I am still a bit skeptical about the whole movie idea, though Anthony's posts are making me feel better than I did feel before.

So nice of Anthony.

It has calmed my fears.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:40pm

I think it's fair to say he's been bombarded with PMs. Hehe. He was just online at CB for like 10 minutes and not in any of the forums (you can see who's online and what they're looking at), so he's probably dealing with a million "I LOVE YOU ANTHONEEEE SO MUCH!!!xoxoxo" messages as they keep popping up.

Oh man. If only Adam would follow suit. Then we'd have to restrain Emcee.

[N0tThatGirl213]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:40pm

Most definitely.

Only now I'm wondering who else might be reading the board...

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:41pm

haha, could you IMAGINE? I said the same thing to TGIF a few minutes ago. He wouldn't dare - he knows we'd jump all over him. And with that one, I'd keep my mouth...er... keyboard quiet.

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 4:42pm

Oh gosh, if Adam decided to post, I would flip! Restraining order on this thread (especially Emcee).

aw, you guys! Am I THAT bad? You know I have nothing but love....
