Ignorance towards the Rent movie — Page 3

I'm pretty surprised that people are shocked by this. I guess it DOES depend on where you live in the country, but Rent has always had that, "Eeeew. It's a musical about GAY PEOPLE?!!" stigma attached to it. Making it a mainstream film won't do anything to change that fact, sadly. I still think the film will do well overall... but I never expected it to be a smash hit. It's still considered too taboo by too large a cross-section of the population.

My mother is going to be highly intrigued. La Vie Boheme in action seals the deal.
