Don't hate us, Colleen! Your time will come!

And I'm sure they'll put those scenes on the DVD. I wanna watch Halloween, myself, even if it doesn't really fit in to the movie. XD

I loved your review. More positives than negatives. From the clips on movies.com to this review, I AM MORE EXCITED THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN ABOUT THIS MOVIE! And....hoyl crap! Five days. I can remember when we were in the 190's!

Halloween and Goodbye Love are going to be on the DVD. Personally, I hope they include some of the other cuts, like when Benny says he'll pay for the funeral ("you just paid for the funeral of the person who killed your dog" [?]) and April in the bathtub, but I have no idea if they'll do that.

I didn't realize either of those scenes had been filmed, but I would assume that if they decide to include a deleted scene section that those would probably be in there.

I just read colleen's post. lol. I haven't seen the movie yet either! And yes, Anthony let us know that Halloween and Goodbye Love are going to be on the dvd.

Ooooh, Emcee, I didn't even THINK of those extra scenes. That'd be nice!

And yes, I suppose there are more positives than negatives. There are certainly some negatives. But what I mean to say is that the negatives and the positives kind of fuse together to make a better completed project...?

Damn, it's so hard to explain.

I think I get what you're saying.

Part of the essence of the stage show is the rawness and imperfection of it all. It's an unpolished, unfinished product. I think that if the movie were too polished and perfect that it just wouldn't feel like RENT anymore.

YES.

Thank you, Colleen.

you kinda just said everything that I wish I could have expressed into words after I saw the movie but couldn't quite put down in a logical way...great review

Exactly. Like in parts that are *very* cinematic, it's a little bit awkward and jarring, because you're not used to seeing this material in such a processed form. I think that's why Mark's movie was one of my favorite parts.

[LariTheLoud]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 4:52pm

I LOVED Mark's movie.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 4:54pm

the person I went with made some random comment about how mark's film isn't really a film, its just flashes of images. she was definitely thinking waaayyy too much into it.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 4:57pm

...

Of course it's a film.

[LariTheLoud]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 4:59pm

Just to throw something out there--

Mark's film. How can she be certain that's the whole thing, anyway? That's probably just the opening montage.

And besides... I kind of consider the entire musical to be 'Mark's film.' Mark's point of view. You know?

*hasn't seen it yet either*

[kates422]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 5:10pm

*also has not seen it...but wishes greatly she has*

Lari--I also thought that about Mark's film :)

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 5:15pm

I totally think its a film. My friend was crazy.

I didn't want to start another RENT thread, but there is a cute video on broadway.com:

http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Video.aspx?ci=521510

Clips that we've seen before but interviews with Chris Columbus and the cast that must have been from the press junket but havn't showed up anywhere else as of yet.

Yeah, Adam's little "Hello!" just killed me. XD

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 6:00pm

yea...what was that exactly?

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 6:01pm

No idea...but I died laughing.

I haven't gotten up to Adam yet, but this should get its own thread, regardless of if it makes people angry. It's good stuff. Idina and Tracie are so cute together.

I think I'm going to like the movie even more the second time. Just knowing what I'm in for.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 6:27pm

hahahaha. He's so weird.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 11/17/05 at 6:33pm

Idina - on a pool table - with rolling balls.

That's enough to make me see the movie.

That's how you get people into the theatre.

Plus Tracie = HOTNESS!

I am so happy for her...
