yeah, I've never put that line with Fat Albert either... not when you listen to the RENT soundtrack every day and hear it coming from Joanne- its funny actually, every time I saw that preview for the Fat Albert movie, and i would hear Hey Hey Hey! .. i would think in my head - Did you eat?

Is there anyway that I can just post and reply in this thread without it taking me back to the main board everytime? (sorry I'm a newbie, I have lots to learn)

Okay, so maybe you culturally-knowlegeable will have seen these movies-- any of you seen Tarnation?

Feature it, its great.

Fredi- you still get contacted by fans? I remember the days when those girls had a fan club for you... Erin Laye I think was part of it and then started one for Idina

Wait.. quick before we start that discussion, whose seen the movie Tarnation?

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 2:18am

okay, well its a movie... kinda an Indie film, but gotten pretty big (AFI named its release as one of the top 10 events of 2004 (along with big things like the retirement of Brokaw)..

anyway, its about a boy who's documented his real life (though it's getting more like fiction.. haha I crack MYself up) since he was 11... he had a bipolar mother and a very troubled childhood, and finally hes taken this footage and adapted it into a movie.

Anyway, my fist Cousin is a film editor... and he's becoming so successful- so I'm very proud- but yeah so he edited this movie, Tarnation... so I'm trying to promote it for him

(sorry if that was like an Ad)

But, he also edited the movie the Woodsman... which I guess youve probably heard of (Kevin Bacon's new movie)

Any of you seen that?

oooh wow this is cool. I IMDBed my cousin ... and hes done alot more than I knew... like The Laramie Project (The Matthew Sheperd Story), Beavis and Butthead Do America (That's one to be proud of), and Lackawanna Blues (that's George C. Wolfe's'/Halle Berry's project)

I love IMDB... and google.... cause it led Fredi to us!

Naked Cowboy... whoever buys those records will be wasting their money.
People on these boards really did go crazy about the Idina incident...

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:18pm

ooh so are Fredi and Notthatgirl friends before this?
Notthatgirl I take it you like Wicked

There are crazy Wicked fans at BWW

ooh hey Allie!! nice to meet you. I'm new 'round these parts, so bear with me.

Did you people know each other before hand? or have you become vowel twins through these boards

This may seem very random... but did most of the OBC of RENT smoke? (not the ensemble)

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:28pm

"OK, i thought i hated the Wicked fans (the teeny bopper ones) but with what's goign on with idina and her last performance - i have a new hatred for them...." -BSoB

AGREED!! What is going on with that?! I respect Idina SO MUCh as an artist, she's amazing. But her fanbase consists almost totally of 12-15 year old girls who are OBSESSED with her.

To me she isn't the kind of person that is so appealing/attractive to "kids".

on some other broadway message board site, these people were going on and on about Idina starting smoking during RENT because ALL the cast did it (to get into character or something) and she was the only one that didn't ... and how all the smoking in RENT has caused her to have breathing problems or something

that sounded like total BS to me

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:34pm

haha Notthatgirl, I said 12-15 year old girls .. im not much older than that!
and I love Idina but people like... revolve their life around her. (if you haven't noticed)

star2b - glad to see somebody else is thinking clearly - i mean if she misses her last show that would suck but rib injuries for a singer - broken or bruised can be bad and she could have a lot of trouble breathing for a long time which could throw off her singing

i mean all people heal differently but my family and i were in a car accident this summer (july) and my mom broke five ribs and they still haven't healed so you never know

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:48pm

wow this is gonna be very newbie-ish, but did the accident cause you to want to leave RENT?

my other fav part about Idina fans are that theyre mostly only people who've seen wicked and dont even know that she was in RENT (or were 5 years old when it came out) or produced her own music

[OneLastRefrain2]

Posted: 1/8/05 at 10:55pm

uh, yeah - I think so- didn't I say Idina's fans? (Im lost sorry)

No I'm not trying to insult young people who like Wicked and Idina and Rent... (THAT WOULD BE ME)

just the ones that are crying not because Idina hurt herself and is HURT but because she hurt herself and they're not going to get a signed Idina playbill and meet their "inspiration and idol who changed their life"... while really they've only seen her as Elphaba and Wicked and they dont know anything about her.

mk got it.
I hate to ask this.. don't laugh at me
But who is the "priest" and what is his signature?

so lovely ms Fredi.. was the accident the only reason you left at that particular moment (as opposed to later?)
