The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 431

Ewww. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to going back either. Where are you applying, Racetrack?

It's now 2005 here in Nebraska.

Of course, I had to do the cheesy thing and put on Seasons of Love/Happy New Year to celebrate. Maybe it's all the wine..

Oh, gee, thanks, Tiff Happy New Year to you too! And great icon :) I'm a little tipsy so I'm tearing up seeing it.

I'm at my friend's house and she's insisted I stay over, even though I think I'd rather go home and watch Sex and the City. However, now that I've ingested alcohol, it's not happening.

Ha HA!

I'm finishing up Season 3. I feel so bad for Charlotte! You'll find out why.

Nope. I will say no more.

I'm watching Penn and Teller's Bull****! right now. I'm going to have to get this off Netflix.

Oh God, I hated Mystic River.
I went to dinner with my family and ate delicious Italian food, then came over here and had caviar, champagne, and biscotti. YUM. Now I want ice cream.

Friend's house, as I was ordering the Marx Brothers Silver Whatever Collection off BarnesandNoble.com...YEAH BABY.

What'd you do??

Not sad at all!!

I just started watching it as well. I'm completely addicted. I wish we could hang out and watch it together while drinking whatever it was you said you were drinking. My vision is too blurry to see where you said it.

Haha, definitely. One of us is going to have to get on a plane, though. The drinking game sounds fabulous! No, she doesn't have them - I've been getting them off Netflix. I feel like I should get some actual movies one of these days, though. My vision's blurry because my contacts are all dry. I'm also reading very funny reviews of the Phantom movie, and my eyes are tired.

Too F*CKing funny for words. Yep, I saw it. I sort of liked it, but I HATED Gerard Butler. I was so angry at the total lack of charisma he gave the Phantom. Plus, the man cannot sing. How about you?

I am going to go to bed soon, yep, as soon as I check my LJ

I did like Emmy, once you get past the fact that, indeed, she would never wow in an opera house. I found Patrick totally boring, which was surprising, as I thought he'd be really great in this role. I did like Miranda Richardson, but of course she can do no wrong in my eyes (I'm conveniently ignoring Alice in Wonderland).

Gerard had one line - I forget where it was - where the Scottish accent totally popped out. Do you remember? I think it was one of those "ehhh" sounds at the end of a word that gave it away. I also hated how he shouted things, like "Down that path into darkness deep as HELL!" and how they had to lower the "I gave you my music" and "You have come here for one purpose and one alone..." parts for him. For God's sake, at least dub him with Hugh Panaro's voice! Ugh.

I loved the Overture. For the first time it really gave me chills. On stage, it's so quiet that you barely realize it's playing. I hate that.

Yeah, when the opening of the overture came on, and the theatre went into color---ohhhh man. I REALLY got shivers, and had a big dumb grin on my face.

Patrick was okay in the role, but the role is pretty thankless to begin with, so...meh. I've thought he's kind of overrated, but I saw a bit of Angels in America yesterday and he seems like he could be a great actor!

Don't even get me started on the inconsistencies in the film. The mask on his face was smaller than Lil Kim's pasty! What's up with that?? And did you notice how Emmy went from doe-eyed, make-up-less colt to sex kitten when she was taken into the lair?

Nevertheless, I liked it, at the very least because it was pretty to look at. Most of the singing was good.

Hey, have you seen Angels in America yet?
