Marquise, I love that wallpaper that you posted. I think I like the new movie artwork more than that for the OBC; the colors are what get me.

I like the movie poster better, i think. although, they should've had angel doing his jump. yeah, it is weird though that they stopped the names after idina.

Wanna be a foster? Who is on the photo on ur profile?

I love Idina and Tracie, but I struggle to understand why the two of them are in a frame together on the advance for the poster. It looks out of place compared with the rest of the poster. Out of the three love stories in the show, Maureen's and Joanne's is (don't kill me, because I am struggling for words) not as flame powerful as that of Collins/Angel or Roger/Mimi. This is not to say that they aren't a great couple, but why those two in a frame together...why any "couple" in a frame together? It just took away from the grit in my opinion, and looked really weird. I love the poster, but I say if they were merely going to update the OBC poster, and put each in a box, they shouldn't pull out one couple to frame up. Just my opinion, but it is beautiful.

I really don't want to start anything here, but Dawson isn't the "STAR" of RENT. She might have a bigger part than others, but remember we havn't seen the movie yet, but it is an ENSEMBLE. In my opinion, off of the OBC, Mark would be the lead role because he is the narrartor.

I get the feeling if this turns out to be a big hit, like it should be, there is going to be a lot of things going around about how, "Dawson saved this role", "she's the 'star' that needs to get all the credit".

Thenardier, if you really have too many of the posters, you can send a few my way.
