This sounds great. Did it open to good reveiws? They said it was filmed, but is this film available for purchase or anything? I would love to see it.

Well, I just did a search on this and nothing showed up. Maybe they should update the search function?

I heard that it was "okay." Haven't seen it though.

Seems like a good idea. A modern day opera.

I think it could go either way; I think material this good is easier to f*ck up than enhance, frankly; it could be brilliant or it could be really cheesy. I'd be interested in checking it out, though.

True. But I think it's at least an interesting idea. They def. took on a rather big task. But I think the story of Angels is so epic that it could work. I can already imagine the Angel lowering from the ceiling singing some beautiful aria.

Is that because Jessica Simpson wouldn't be able to handle it?

Rentboy, yes, but that's what I mean about it going either way, you know? That could be gorgeous, or it could be clunky and awkward.

It's having its American premiere in Boston in June.
