How do I always end up missing these things?? I got a PM from Macavity and somewhere in it she mentioned something like "yeah so I'm glad Anthony's posting again" and my mind train was "Yeah thats coo....wait, WHAT? When did this happen??" :-P So welcome back Anthony!!! We have all missed you very much!

Whats all this drama though with the review? I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet and I have a feeling I'll have tons of things to sift through by now. Hm. :-/

Anyways hope everyone who went to Virgin records had fun! Wish I could have beem there.

Well, just finished browsing through the finer points of the review thread and I agree Lari, its tons of what I think is slightly unecessary drama and just to read it is aggrevating. I have fairly strong views on what is being said on that thread but I'm biting my tongue and just staying out of it, because quite honestly, I just don't want to deal with more drama. I get a feeling (and I could be totaly wrong but its just my feelings right now) that no matter what I say, and how carefully I think it out, something I say will end up getting mis-read or interpereted and there goes a fight or arguement or conforntation. I just don't see why people have to pick fights over every little thing. It started with one simple review for goodness sake. I don't know, I didn't read every single post but yeah. I am sorry that you had to come back under such circumstances Anthony. It's just....agggravating, yeah. I hope things lighten up soon and you can really rejoin the forum on happier notes though.

I read that after I found out he was back too. That's exactly how I felt too.

Hey everyone! I've been a lurker for a long time, and for some reason I just decided to post today!

Anyways, my name is Liz, and obviously I am a fan of Anthony Rapp. The first thing I ever saw him in was Adventures in Babysitting, and that's pretty much when I became a fan of his. I didn't see him in RENT live (because I was only 6 when it opened on Broadway), so I am very excited that he is in the movie so I can see him in that!

Well, I can't think of anything else to say, but I wanted to introduce myself. :)

Hi hun! Yea I guess I'm a lurker too, but that word kind of frightens me. Makes me sound like a stalker, which I'm not of course... ;^) So I guess I have started posting, thus the posts that are by me, so should I introduce myself? I'm Liza, umm I have a profile which explains me I guess. PMs make me happy.

Welcome to the Anthony thread. Yay!

Anyway, back to the drama--

Hope I didn't sound like too much of an ass. XD I got... pretty damn fired up. *sigh* At least it seems to be over at the moment.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 9:36pm

Yeah, I was tempted to bump that thread because I wanted to ask Anthony a question about the movie, but I figure it's best to just let it die. Although that would really confuse people who haven't been here the past few days...

Whoa, so that welcome back Anth post I made was before I read that post.

The whole thing was incredibly unneccessary. Why can't people just stop trying to pick fights? Honestly, it seems like thats all some people do.

I discovered the thread this morning at school while on a computer, and I must've been staring at the screen pretty strangely cause my friend Chloe was like "Heeeee-llo, Fizzy, you awake?" , waving her hand in front of my face.

People are ridiculous. I've always maintained that one day I'm gonna just pick up and move into a cave in Mongolia so I don't have to deal with stupid people.

Fizz--

I'm hoping I don't fit into that description, since I certainly was a part of the argument... ^^; Let me know if I come off as... well, bad. I'll try to simply shut up next time.

Same here Fizz, I had figured based off the PM sent to me that he'd come back on different circumstances. The whole thing, to me, just seemed very unecessary and slightly unreasonable as well. There where plenty of justifiable and thought out opinions and statements made as the arguement went on but it seemed that the comments that fired this whole thing off was just another way to cause some good drama. It sort of fuels my theory that humans need some kind of drama/confrontation in their lives just as much as they need oxygen and water. And from what I read Lari, you never came across as an ass or anything like that to me. You're statements, while at times strong and foward, always seemed level headed and reasonable. But that brings me to another reason why I won't let myself join the debate, I too can get amazingly fired up about topics, especially ones I have very strong opinions about and based off the fact that just reading that thread sent tons of statements and opinions to the front of my mind was enough of a warning signal to me to just stay out. I'll be the first to admit that I have patience and temper issues with unreasonable statements and slightly ridiculous arguements. Wouldn't be the first time I've said something rather foolish and un-thought out in the heat of the moment and I don't care to repeat the experience. Plus, the less we feed the fire, the faster it'll eventually die down right? Things happen so fast on these boards. As I said though, I really am sorry that Anthony, and a good majority of you guys as well, had to get dragged into it.

On a happier note, welcome to the new people! Yeah, you came at a very crazy time but its normally a good kind of crazy around here. Hope to hear more from you in this thread of cheerful insanity!

Oh and Fizz, would you be highly opposed if I perhaps joined you on your cave-bound treck in Mongolia? The sex ed talk we had today in PE that turned into a "So and So's recounts on their sexual experiences" might have been enough to drive me into a life of seclusion and solitude. Like that leapord man in Scottland.

I have a rather bad temper, too(the fiery Irish in me!) and was getting really angry while reading the thread, so I just kinda X-ed out and forgot about it.

Sure! I'm taking anyone who doesn't cause drama(unless its the stage kind :p) with me to this cave. Its going to be a very large, heated, nice, decorated cave.

[LariTheLoud]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 10:47pm

Thanks, Dreamcatcher. I certainly felt strongly about this, so you know. And I admire you for staying out of debates, by the way. I tend to not be able to resist leaping in.

Mongolia... I'm going to Russia. Is that close enough? Anyone wanna hitch a ride in my suitcase? I'll force some room.

I'll go with you Lari! I've always wanted to visit Russia.....its on my list of places to try and see after high school....

And you're welcome Lari, and I find it very respectful that you where able to maintain a calm and level headed mindframe amongst all the hissiness and drama going on. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know if I'd be able to depending on how people reacted to what I say and how far they'd try and push me. As I said, I can get way too compassionate about things and it tends to send me into tangents. And there's nothing wrong with leaping into a debate if you have strong feelings about it and feel that you can add insightful opinions to the topic, which you have so far, as far as I can see. Again, I applaud you for keeping your cool with some of the things being said on that thread. It's amazing to me, how ridiculous and irrational people can get when put in a situation like the one they are all in now.

And now for my post on a completely unrelated topic, though Anthony-centric:

So, I watched “David Searching” for the first time tonight. Such a great movie! I loved it. I love the scene where Anthony has the flower and puts it in the water, great music, amazing acting. I love seeing films where people being gay is a non-issue, because that’s how I’ve always seen it, and I think that the subtly of it is awesome. I know nothing gets to my dad (who is very homophobic) more than acting like homosexuality is the natural and normal lifestyle that it is.

Anyway, I just wanted to post to say I loved it, Anthony you are such an amazing actor, thanks for being involved in something I would be proud to make my father uncomfortable with, ‘cause really, what is the use of knowing someone really homophobic if you don’t challenge them to see the light and realize that it’s just love?

I don't have a scanner so I took a photo. SORRY FOR THE CRAP QUALITY.

But... Um..... Both for the celebration of Anthony's return and for the movie being only a little over a week away.


SOON.

Ahh that is so cute Lari! I love it!

And I'm glad you enjoyed David Searching Shiksa. One of my favorite movies to date. I love that scene that you where talking about, the one with the flower. That whole bit plus the one preceeding it with David talking to Gwen in the park are two of my favorites. Sometimes those silent scenes where no one says a word can be the best. And the cinematography, and lighting and music really put it all together. Great, great film in general.

Grr now I want to watch it but I have to go to sleep and finish my history essay....Resist the urges Mika...resist the urges.....be strong......

:-P
