lovepuppy, not to keep this going on, but I'm not getting defensive about it, I was simply pointing out "what is," as you say. Your post read as condescending, whether you meant it or not. As far as my condescending remark...it's called irony (and there it is again).
And the fact that you continue to be condescending ("Eh, I'm not about to get into a pissing match with a kid.") does not make either Emcee or myself look immature, but rather, it makes you look insecure about the level of maturity either or both of us may be displaying...perhaps in our ability to critically look at this film. Yes, us youngsters are capable of that, too. This is not a community in which the elders spout their knowledge on the younger group; sometimes we can learn from people younger than ourselves, if only we're not so worried about it bruising our ego.

So, how about Adam Pascal's hair? 
How do we feel about it a year later?

Well, the first time was unintentional. If I was drinking a beer with you in a bar and nudged you with my elbow and said "listen, baby, that's the way life is! Corporate America. Welcome," you wouldn't take it as condescending but rather, matter-of-fact. As for BroadwayGirl, since you acted like a whiny child who wants the last word all the time, you got treated like one. Adults like me can see that a mile away. (Actually like 800, but whatever.)
And I luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Adam's hair in the movie, hands down. :)
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had the practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." --Alice in Wonderland

I think the movie is everything that the show could have been had Jonathon Larson survived to make the usual pre-broadway cuts and changes customary after an off-broadway/out of town production.
I thought the show was pointlessly provocative and mediocre. I thought the film was an absolute masterpiece, and I'm typically not a fan of turning musicals into films, cuz they tend to suck more often than not (Phantom anyone?)
And I also think Rosario Dawson wiped the screen with Daphne Rubin-Vega.
