I haven't decided if I want you to conjure Jesse or Idina for me. You could say, I'm on the fence. :)


This is directed at penguin78 in case anyone is confused.

The film wasn't very good. I'm not surprised.

And if y'all don't start playing nicely you will be locked into a theatre for one week playing the A CHORUS LINE movie non-stop while only being able to eat Burger King.

Go with Idina! The avatar is all set up and everything!

BSo, that's just *mean*! Not even *they* deserve that! Updated On: 12/13/05 at 08:31 PM

"What do you mean NOT IN YOUR NATURE, penguin!?"
You were not supposed to point that one out.

What do I know I am simply a stuffed penguin that some poor shulb sits in front of a computer while he goes out and enjoys "lofe."

RENT had some really good reviews and most of the acting notices were very positive.
I think a nice new song would have assured that one elusive nomination, I still think Adam should have written an in character Roger song in honor of his friend "John."

ETA: I'll try to get you Jessie and Idina, you can decide later.

I see that I missed quite a bit.

Yes, the avatar is definitely adding to my confusion.

If Idina made her presence known, BWW would implode. I bet she wouldn't be allowed to post out right for Rob's sanity.

Though could you imagine Jose getting stompled as hoards of people flocked...

You better believe I'd be running with my arms out, palms front, hands open!

i haven't been posting my opinion of the movie, so i know it's not really my place to add this, but i just wanted to say that i think anthony is right. people are allowed to have opinions, in fact it's better that way so people can express how they feel and maybe get more out of the fiim from hearing positive and negative views. however, everyone on this board knows that he's reading this, and there's a way to get your point across without being MEAN, and potentially hurting someones feelings...not to get all corny on anyone or saying that anthon'y feelings are being hurt, i know he's a strong person and is used to critism and probably expected this, but it really does suck when people are here on this board trying to have a discussion and it turns into an argument, a mean one at that

this is just my opinion, i don't want to upset anyone or think i'm attacking anyone in particular, this is just after reading everything

Penguin - of COURSE I'd point that out.

"I think a nice new song would have assured that one elusive nomination, I still think Adam should have written an in character Roger song in honor of his friend "John." "

But it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't written by the composer..and that may be a bit hard to conjure - especially since they didn't have YOU (penguin) on board.

But he's a scary thought - my mom thought I had the same disease Larson had...because of my heart condition. I better get started on that musical then!

Tanssia – “a GG nomination would have helped with the box office, but it would not have drastically swayed the unfortunate divided response to this film either.”

Although I would have loved to see a GG nomination, I doubt that it would have helped with the box office numbers, regardless of the GGs Rent has, unfortunately, closed in theatres where I lived. Knowing, from previous posts, I did like the movie, very much indeed, I saw it 3 times, and meaning no disrespect to Mr. Rapp, Mr. Columbus or anyone else in the movie I did not feel it was award material. That being said, I would have loved for it to get a nom, but just the movie being made is award enough, (sorry if that sounded cheesy).

The entire cast and crew should be increadabley proud of their accomplishments, and as I said in a PM to Anthony, should be thanked for taking Rent into a new medium for people who may never be able to see the show, see a show that changed many lives.

Wow. I didn't think that would actually work. Creepy.

Hi Anthony. If I say your name 3 times, will the same thing happen, or is smartpenguin special?

Well, I don't think it is a big deal. I argued with DAME before and probably will argue with her more. That's her style and I am used to it.

You're right, RachLaura. That's the bottom line, no matter what your opinion is, you should be able to express it, and still be respectful.

There seem to be many vindictive people on this board.

I was not particulary fond of the stage version of Rent, but I was extremely moved by the movie. Sure there were flaws in it. How many movies are flawless?

I'm certainly not a "Renthead", but this movie really touched me deeply. It was on a level that few movies or plays have ever achieved.

To me it may be a financial flop (meaning that it will not recoup it's investment), but in terms of artistic achievement I believe it's stature will grow in time.

I was saddened that it didn't received any GG nominations. I believed that there were some good candidates that were overlooked.

Anthony,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. There are many here that appreciate and value your input.

Damn! Guess it only works for people!

Rach - I understand what you are saying. And I didn't read the comments that got everyone's undies in a bundle...but...

If we are entitled to our opinions, and don't like the way a certain actor performs, are we NOT entitled to say so? Whether or not said person posts?

A LOT of people in the bix reads BWW...I'd rather be able to explain to the person what I don't like, than pretend I do like them. And doing this, I wouldn't do it publicly either.

BsO, I was thinking more of an homage from the cast BACK to "John"
Or I could just conjure him up. But I didn't want to force myself into the project.

There are many vindictive people everywhere, I still contend the majority of the people on this board are thoughtful and articulate, even when they disagree.

But it is possible to an express an opinion without being disrespectful or cruel.

rowers unite -
I'm probably grasping at straws here, but...
While RENT is losing quite a few theaters (i don't know what the numbers are), a nomination would have helped in the theaters it was remaining in. I'm not saying it would help greatly, but there are a few people out there who may have decided against another movie (because of critic thrashing, for instance) and gone to a "GG nom. film."

Everyone knows that the Golden Globes are just the Oscars, Jr. anyway. It's amazing that people are creating such a tremendous fuss over it.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:46pm

Shamless - you josh!

Like I said, I didn't read because I couldn't find the comments.

Atria - this is a theatre board. People would create tremendous fuss over a mis-darned sock.

Once again, why are we doing this to each other? Why do some people feel the need to tear other people's art and passion to shreds? In what world is that kind of hateful negativity productive?

[RachLaura]

AMEN SISTA!

THERE IS A MIS-DARNED SOCK? WHERE!

I will have to kick somebody.

Someone mis-darned a sock???OMG, the outrage!!!

And amen to that, katygrace.
