I love that line, too. Very sad, but quite honest in terms of some people's true motivation for turning to drugs and alcohol.

Sounds like it. I guess it somewhat reminds me of me a little. That is, I never had literal life-and-death minute-to-minute existence like she does, never stripped and never did drugs, but like you said, everybody has scars.
I just got back from seeing RENT a second time. I definitely enjoyed it a lot more this time around, partly because I was with my RENThead friends. I cried a lot more, too...and I'm still shaking!

I'll just bump up thread by saying that I loved the film as well. I thought the majority of it worked and was extremely moving...I'm trying to get a group of friends to see it with me in the near future! I suppose out of the new lines that were written for the movie, the one I enjoyed a lot was the line of Mark's that they used in the trailers, "There are times when we're..." especially with the part they cut out for the trailer, "And then they call. And I remember." :) <3 I definitely came out of the movie like I do the show, shaking and having cried through the last 2/3's of it
I LOVE THE RENT MOVIE.
i have to say that at least once a day.

Don't we all jeremykushnier1fan?
Kinda off-topic, but how many times have you all seen the movie?
I've seen it 3 times.

Yea! I'm so glad someone else found this little moment! I completely missed it the first time I saw the movie, but it completely cracked me up the second time!
BUMP!
i love the rent movie <3
4x with plans to see it at least twice more when I come home from college for winter break, yaaay ...I think the thing about this movie is I went in expecting to hate it (I'm picky) and I loved it. I can admit it's no Best-Picture-Winning-type movie, like Chicago, but I just love it.
I really like the "trim her tree" moment (Adam as Roger in this movie reminds me a lot of one of my friends from high school except Adam's much much hotter) and pretty much anything Mark does.

7 times...I win!!!!!
Mucho RENT movie love!
I feel like with this network we could account for most of the box office take! :)
Seen it 7 times so far. OMG I love this movie!
I've seen it four. I want to see it six times though, because my friend's seen it five, and i must beat her.
I'm in love with this movie. Despite all flaws, I love it. Favourtie parts include:
mark Dancing by himself during La Vie Boheme B (It makes me want to dance with him. >_>)
"Is anyone alive with a sex drive!?"
The little shrug Mark does after "Mucho Masterbation"
Collins "slapping" angel during "To S & M"
Marks Dancing
Tracie's expreson during "And she can be so obscene"
"Merry Christmas Bitches"
Collins shaking his head/expression at "moaning and groaning on the cold concrete"
and....basically anything with mark. *sighs dreamily*

I've seen it "only" four times now. Heh.
Anyway, going back a few posts, I always took the "all the scars from the nevers and maybes die" line as very uplifting/positive and not about drugs/alcohol at all -- kind of in the same vein as "forget regret."
I've seen it 3 times, but plan to see it more, on the big screen of course! *dreams for IMAX*
I loved the movie! When Angel died, tears were streaming down my face, meeting under my chin and running down my shirt.
I wasn't sure if I'd cry in the movie when Angel died. With the play, you see Collins and Angel all the time on stage, getting closer and you feel the love that they share. With the movie, they're not always on screen and you can't see that lovey dovey-ness. I wasn't sure if it would be conveyed the way that the play does, in order to make me cry. I don't know if that makes sense.
But anyways, it all worked out. I was just about sobbing the first and second time I saw it, which is a good thing. The third time I was just crying, not sobbing.
I loved the beginning, where everyone was singing Rent. It sounded awesome! La Vie Boheme was cool. Seriously, I think I smiled for 75% of the movie!
Man, I am just impressed, pleased, excited! It turned out SO good! Hey, my favorite play was made into an awesome movie!
4 and counting...hopefully a few more though
I'm going again on Wednesday, my only day off this week. Why are you all clogging the USPS with mail just cause it's almost Christmas? Argh! On second thought, please do, keeps me employed.
But yeah, I'm bumping too. Nothing else to do at 3:42 MST....
