re: RENT commercial

I was going to say something about how this commercial "perfectly captures" the appropriate mood for the movie. But, I'm not sure if the show is ever quite as somber in tone as the beginning of the commercial suggests.

re: RENT commercial

I saw that a while back and have always thought that if they could shoot the movie like that, it could turn out really good. *crosses fingers* I wonder if Columbus has seen this yet...

re: RENT commercial

re: RENT commercial

Emcee- that's the one I tried to give you a link to and it didn't work! Yay- you've finally seen it!

There's something about that commercial that gives me the chills. The first time I saw it awhile ago I had to watch it over and over- it was addictive!

re: RENT commercial

I actually thought that commercial was kinda lame... but that's just me. The voice was kinda irritating.

re: RENT commercial

lol, I didn't really mind it, though I definitely felt like I was watching a movie commercial. I'd love for the movie to have that feeling to it... but I'm afraid I'll be terribly disappointed.

re: RENT commercial

They used that commercial for the national tour (when it came early this year). When i first saw it i thought it was a new movie...the commerical is the tone the movie should be.

I think I cried the first time I saw it. I'm such a loser.

re: RENT commercial

That commercial gave me chills, and at first, I thought it WAS for the movie. *sigh*

re: RENT commercial

I remember that commercial.
Personal opinion:I think that's how the movie trailer should feel.

re: RENT commercial

Is this commercial being used for the current N. American tour? I can't load the clip on this computer but I just saw a cool one It looks like one on TV (in Vancouver) a few days ago.

By the way, for anyone in the know, does the official new cast start in Portland on Aug 10? (Insomniak, I saw some day I'll join compulsive bowlers, once they stop scaring me!)

If the movie is ANYTHING like this, it will be amazing.

Wha? I did not get that... Can you rephrase?

We're not that bad... I will be nice to you, Tiff. The only time newbies are flamed is if they post something stupid like another movie rant.

re: RENT commercial

I'm at CB, but I've only posted once. I guess I'm not scared, I just don't like posting there. It's fun to read though. All the newb-flaming is HILARIOUS.

But back on topic...
#22

re: RENT commercial

Oh yes- CB is hilarious to read (I've probably posted only 100 times over the past 2 years). It has good reads... anyway...

We should all contact Columbus and make him watch that and make his movie look as great as that commercial was.

re: RENT commercial

WE SHOULD! I'm actually looking for his email right now. How lame am I?!

re: RENT commercial

You're not lame. You're concerned for the well being of the RENT movie.
