Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:48pmVery true, BSo. There's more drama here than there is actually on Broadway.
Like a firework unexploded

I especially love "Don't be embarrassed...it happens"
Cause it certainly does!
Ever post hatred for one actor in that actor's appreciation thread? Oh, yeah...By accident!
#210re: RENT movie garners exactly zero Golden Globe nods!
Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:57pmI just post LEMON hatred right after you, BSO. It is my life's ambition to do that forever and shame you for your love.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 8:58pm*snort* I think we should start a Mis-Darned Socks Inspection Squad.

INQUISITORIAL squad, I mean we are a "talking" based group.

Oh, no - what did I start!?
PEnguin - I don't see your lemon bit, so zelda is still out of place to me.
P.S. YOu can never shame me. I will love lemons and support Brooks in any future endeavors for the rest of my life!
Long live citrus on Broadway!
Amen!

Posted: 12/13/05 at 9:01pmPenguin, I'm actually a bit grateful to be off-topic as we are now on a non-hateful topic. I just get so tired of the cruelty and negativity. It's just so counter-productive.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 9:03pmThis is more fun, but I think we chased away the Spice.

"How many movies are flawless?"
See, this is the argument that makes little sense to me. Of course nothing is perfect, but I came rattle off the names of dozens of films that--as all works are--were less than "perfect," but they did NOT create plot holes, or have underdeveloped characters and relationships, or perhaps they were not films in which the direction was "safe" when the film deals with some pretty heavy, intense stuff. Or, you know, entire scenes that could have been extremely powerful did not turn out to be laughable. In most great films the imperfections are generally things that can go unnoticed, or they're simply things that have to do with personal taste.
The thing here is, yes there's opinion involved, but I think there's fact as well. For example, a fact in this case, I think, is that there are plotholes that exist in the film that did not exist in the stage show. The opinion is whether or not you think this had a large impact on the film's power or not. Then againm if those holes WERE filled...would there be an issue? See, I think plotholes, or very poorly-filmed scenes are MUCH bigger flaws than the imperfections of great movies.
I think people are misinterpreting a lot of the negativity towards the Rent film as negativty towards Rent itself. To speak for myself, my negativty for the FILM comes from a love for the material from which it was adapted, and the fact that the film did not live up to that material.
What I would like to know is if there have actually been any people walking out of this film after seeing it for the first time the same way people in '96 were walking out of the show after seeing the show for the first time. I think the show changed people's lives. Now, people are loving the movie. But did it change any lives? Did it reach as far and wide as it could have? Are people walking out of this film inspired?
I don't think the sole job in creating this film should have been to please Rent fans, but instead to adapt the piece to film in such a way that it would stand on its OWN, and affect people entirely unfamiliar with the piece the way the show has.
Now, about the Golden Globes, I'm hardly "gleeful" about the news. It just brings the feeling I had when I first saw the film back. I think the lack of nominations is just an example of how this movie was not filmed and marketed in such a way that caused it to be taken as seriously as it should have been. Because IF it had been made the "right" way, it would have been nominated.
EDIT: And wow, by the time I typed that up, you guys just threadjacked and entirely strayed from the conversation. Way to make me look like a fool.

I hope you are, I have been trying to push this off-topic all day.
Unless Anthony comes back, and wants to defend himself again, which seems legit to me.
I think zelda was a little lost.
I blame Brooks for my sock situation, where is he, he shall answer to my RATH!
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

SP - if you huurt Brooks...no, no, if you lay a WING on BROOKS, I will unstitch you bit by bit and use the threads to darn my socks! Don't MESS with my hero!
Some penguins are just so cocky.

May I ask WHY you feel the need to push this thread off-topic? If whatever is being discussed is bothering YOU, don't read or participate, but perhaps there are people who still want to discuss. And if there aren't the thread will die out on its own.

"You better believe I'd be running with my arms out, palms front, hands open"
Wow BSo...I think what happened here was a case of I saw what I expected to see but when I first read that I read palms as pants and decided front meant the same thing as down...
Seriously guys, let us walk in peace.
I mean...we are the world...we are the children...
Wait a minute...Michael Jackson is saying we are the children...oh shoot well now that song's ruined for me!

mlsheehan(...I think anyway) said:
"I was not particulary fond of the stage version of Rent, but I was extremely moved by the movie."
Really? I'm so surprised. Most people I know feel the opposite. Not that it think it's wrong, I respect that you fell that way even if I don't since the movie affected me too. I was more just curious. When did you see it cause I've seen certain casts that I could have doen without on the stage show. I was wondering if that was why you liked the movie better?
For the record I do not mean to be negative in anyway, I think we've had enough of that.
