I don't think you guys are giving art2 enough respect here.
I think this is a very important topic and I think that Jonathan Larson is probably looking down on all of us concerned that we aren't getting the true message of Rent...
Which is clearly, "Two Men Kissing! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
I agree, art2. If there aren't three kisses between Collins and Angel I am going to lauch an all out verbal assault on the producers of this film. Simply having two would be besmirching the name of all things holy.
Shame on you all for not acceptance the global importance of trying to predict the success of a movie three months away from release on acheiving the random, and borderline crazy, goals of one trollish poster.
Patronus, I don't remember if you were already around the last time but I'm sure the real fireworks are still to come. the borderline trollish poster and those who assume they must make him otherwise shall fight on and on until the movie opens and someone picks some other stupid thing to go totally apesh*t over!
HAHA, well, at least I have another penguin and a Patronus on my side :0)
Seriously, how can we possibly be arguing about these sorts of issues before the movie has come out? I'm sure these will be big questions when someone has seen the darn movie, but NO ONE HERE HAS.
Man, the Rent movie posts are going to drive me bonkers.
-Anyone want to turn anarchist with me?"Bless you and all who know you, oh wise and penguined one." ~YouWantItWhen????
I read that other post a week or 2 back from art and it was just rediculous. It's a stupid claim to make and a stupid one to try and back up as well.
Seriously... "Friggin' obnoxious gay activist fighting a solo fight that gets nowhere faggot. (Oops. I'm not aloud to say that word on here. Am I?) "
I'll have to agree with this person, although in a less violent tone. It's just stupid, you can fight for some gay cause, but please, not one that is completely pointless like this.
Hmmmm, maybe if I think happy thoughts and shout "Expecto Patronum" a big silver Rent logo will come charging from my keyboard into BWW and drive away the bad crazies? Updated On: 8/22/05 at 03:03 AM
Don't tell me you are into Batman as well or this is just going to get weird. I am a big Batman fan, although Nightwing is emerging as my favorite character.
I am not sure about Harry Pottery though. It reminds me of that scene from Ghost.
I am normally anti-threadjacking, but this thread needed some jacking.
This conversation started in the Nobert Leo Butz love thread. It turns out that smartpengin andd I have a ton of eerie similarities. I am starting to wonder if we are Dopplegangers.
Sidelining or erasing of gay male affection is the classical modus operandum of libido liberals. The RENT trailer sounded the alarm and now I'm posing the question: has Chris Columbus stayed true to the male-male kisses in the stage production or not? It's a yes or no question...no ifs, no buts.
As for audience-testing of RENT, God help us. They'll have Ma and Pa Kettle in there groaning at anything that hints at male-male affection. Pass me the smelling salts for the upcoming debacle.
Art2, this question cannot even be intelligently debated until AFTER the movie comes out. Let it be.
And I assure you, if you need smelling salts to be revived, I'll wait until January and the movie has come and gone before passing those anywhere near you. A nice hibernation period could be warranted if this is going to be your typical M.O. until the movie is out.
