Saw A Screening of RENT tonight... (spoilers, maybe)

Ok, well my dream came true, and I saw the screening of RENT that I wanted to get into. It seemed like mostly the crew and some of the cast was there. We were told it was the first screening of the finalized flim in New York.

I wanna keep my comments on the film short for now, but if anyone has any questions please feel free to private me and I'll do my best to answer them.

First off, over all I REALLY enjoyed the film, but I'll start off with my only quibble about it. I think the time change...the movie takes place in 1989/1990 doesnt really work for me, but I want other people to see it for themselves and find out if I'm the only one who feels this way or not. Id be interested to hear people's opinions after more screenings and the movie officially opens.

Lasty, I just wanna touch upon my favorite moments. The opening (Seasons of Love) all the actors on a stage, pretty much saying, we are the players and this is our story... One Song Glory, showed a montage of Rogers relationship with April), Tango Maureen the fantasy sequence during this song KICK BUTT, Idina LOOKS AMAZING, I'm gay but she was so HOT. and my last fav moment Without You, another montage, this time of Mimi and Roger's relationship.

Finally (except the time change) someone did a movie musical some justice.

I'm going to cry my eyes out when I see Glory. I'm absolutely going to lose it.

I'm curious -- does it SAY anywhere what year? I thought this was cleared up ages ago... And, I mean, change from what? It was never specific.

Emcee, I wish I see the movie with you. I'm going to need someone to hold my hand.

Anyone not in LA should've been there -- which is the majority of the cast.

Me too, Allie. I'm going to need to hold someone's hand.

Yes.

Are you saying that this film is the only movie musical that you think is good?!
