RENT joke on Will & Grace

Who saw?



Grace asked how the trip was, and the response: "she made me listen to the RENT soundtrack, so it felt like 525,600 miles."

Great reference I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate.

Hey--

This probably belongs on another thread but I'm too tired to look all the way down onto the other pages: Why does no one seem to discuss the fact that Tom Collins is named after a DRINK?!? No jokes about that in the movie either. When I saw the film a few weeks ago, after not really recalling the characters' names years ago when I saw it on Broadway, my first thought was "Larson named him after a drink and nobody's saying a thing about it!"

lovepuppy - the first time I heard the name I thought about that. I figured I was stupid for thinking so...guess I'm just stupid for other reasons! Woohoo!

There's a drink named Tom Collins? So that's why the people in the movie theater laugh at his introduction. I'm so behind...
