Heads up, RENT fans -- the latest blog is up.
Looks like Chris Columbus is a Renthead too! I hadn't realized he was such a fan. He offers a lovely tribute to the cast, person by person.
And I'm happy to see "You'll See" really did make it in :)
I won't give away all the little comments I loved before you get a chance to read it.

And here I was, looking forward to the Rosario and Tracie love today. 
Oh well. It's really great to hear from Chris and see how excited he is about getting this film completely done. Also, his praise for the entire cast is incredibly uplifting. I just hope editing goes well. I could care less how long the movie is, just as long as they keep all the songs in! LOL

Aw, okay, I offically love everyone involved in this project. I loved the praise for everyone, it's so sweet.
"Jesse came up to me at the wrap party in Santa Fe, and said I should form a repertory company with all eight actors. The possibility would be exciting. We could shoot different types of movies together. What do you think? A "Pulp Fiction" or "Star Wars" kinda thing with the Rent cast?"
What does everyone think about this? I think it'd be cool and quite an interesting thing to see. More movies with our beloved cast members in them sounds good to me.
Also, it won't let me post a comment...help?
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

You probably can post, but they screen them, so it won't show up immediately.
AZT is Azidothymidine, which was one of the first drugs ever made that affected HIV/AIDS at all.
I'm really looking foward to Wednesday.
And November.

That was a really great post. If seeing the trailer made me wish I could take back things I said months ago, I wish that even more right now.
Adam Pascal is the only person who ever could have played Roger.
Rock on.

Posted: 6/27/05 at 7:45pmI admire the camraderie and sentiment behind the blogs, but the jury's still out for me on the film until I see it.
