Yeah, Pascal's hair...
Wasn't digging it.
I really didn't like RENT [the movie] too much, but I enjoyed "La Vie Boheme" ... well, maybe not "enjoyed" but I tolerated it.
As for The Producers -- I think one of the best songs is "When You Got It" ... because up until then, I never knew Uma Thurman could sing.
And dang, that girl can sure belt! Maybe not as good as Cady Huffman [the original Ulla on Broadway], but still... very commendable. :)

You must not see many movies.

Wow, I was thinking the same thing about the New Mexico "What You Own" part! Hehhehe, ahh well, still love the film. Although the one part that bothered me was how they set up "Light My Candle". Adam looked too awkward while Rosario slinked around. By the by, I love the long hair

>>You must not see many movies.
Actually I see many movies, and have seen many movies, lots of great films (RULES OF THE GAME, THE GODFATHER I and II, THE GENERAL, VERTIGO) and the inevitable crap that finds its way into anybody's life (PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, most Oscar winning Best Pictures, etc.). But I've never seen anything to compare with the pure unadulterated stupidity of CHICAGO. Badly cast, badly written, badly directed, badly made, just a general parade of stupidity and awfulness. I'll go to my grave wondering how Rob Marshall actually managed to make Queen Latifah un-sexy.
Sorry. I think it is the worst. Ever.

I have a hard time believing that you think CHICAGO was the worst motion picture of all time.

It is a shame they cut many good numbers & eviserated Mr Cellophane. Having said that, it was still one of the better stage to screen transfers
Re POTO, it would have been much better with Banderas as The Phantom but still enjoyable non the less
