Welcome, Anthony Rapp! — Page 259

haha damn, someone come back with a better question to lure anthony to this thread. *thinks hard*. LOL

Hey guys! Yeeeesh. I'm back after a long and sucky day, filled with lots of Rent conversations (actually, only, like, two, but that's okay) and getting bad grades on projects and Show Choir practice.

My most favoritest thing in the whole wide world.

Can you smell the sarcasm, kiddies? Yeah, I really hate Show Choir because everyone's in it even though they don't like performing arts, so we suck and no one pays attention. ANYWAY, back on topic. You can't really say that renthead's answer is BS unless you actually read something else somewhere, know what I mean? But I don't want to get into this, I try to avoid conflict.

Haha well I didn't mean for it to be a conflict in the first place! If I came off as rude or angry or anything, I didn't mean to at all. I was just giving you an answer to the best of my knowledge and no, I don't think it is bs, but I can only go by what they tell us, which of course could be a lie. They didn't cut curse words, did they? Dmb I really didn't want to start anything and maybe you didn't mean for your reply to sound kind of confrontational, but I was just trying to give you an answer, I promise!

Oh! Yeah, I'm sorry too...It just felt like you were trying to brush off my question as not important...Sorry, it's all good. I have only <3 for the people here. --- But yeah, they did limit the number of curses. The homeless lady didn't curse at all, and they did that for a reason. To stay within the number they're allowed to still be PG-13. At least, that makes the most sense. I think Chris wanted an R-rating to begin with, but knew that if they went with the PG-13 they would be able to bring in a wider audience, larger demographic, and ultimately more money. A lot of movies that are on the line between the two ratings do this, they go for the softer rating.

But like I said, this just makes the most sense to me. I was just hoping for some sort of confirmation from someone who would know for sure. ...So ok, I'll try to lure Anthony back in in the process. lol

I hate finding out about these sites AFTER people use them! But its all good, haha. Yeah, we definetly need to lure Anthony back to the board. As a gay actor, I have much respect for others like me (well, ok, I'm 18 and not a professional actor, but still)

that renthead's answer is BS unless you actually read something else somewhere, know what I mean? But I don't want to get into this, I try to avoid conflict.

yeah..sorry about that, i didn't mean what she was saying was BS...i mean, i didn't mean it that way...i meant that what she had read seemed like BS.... <3 it's all good!

---

it seems strange that one minute they were so sure they were getting an R rating and the next thing they know it got PG-13. It seems like they must have cut something or changed something they were planning on showing.

honestly, it was probably just that chris was planning or hoping on making it an r-rating, but once they got into production realized it would be better as pg-13? i dunno. but gotta go for now. talk later!

---

Yea dmb I hear you. You weren't saying "No stop feeding me bs." You were just saying that the info released by Chris was probably bs. Right? Hopefully... but perhaps I AM feeding you bs. Muahahaha. Yessss elphatine, a relevant time for the evil laugh to be used.

---

Wow, that was so something I would say. I was reading it wondering if I had actually said it at some point. Yay incoherent ramblings. Good times. Although singing a song from RENT may have been a tad more relevant and worked just as well, but I enjoy your abstract and somewhat insane stream of consciousness.

---

Ok so it was nice to not get back on here and have 20 pages to read, even though I love you all, having just 4 pages is a LOT easier (and will help my paper get done faster)

FYI the bag lady did curse (I dont need no god damn help) it is like the mf artists, but I dont think it was taken out just cause it was bad words...my mom was shocked that it got PG-13 with two f bombs.

Ok my rent convos have been cool two with my friend and roomate who loved it then on my dry erase board I have I've seen RENT 4 time! Go see it! and people have put things like loser, I hope you get AIDs, That movie is full of cvck suckers, fag (even though I'm straight) and similar things...I think at least 50% were from my ultra conservative neighbor

And Anthony is just amazing. I have Open House and have only watched like 100 minutes but I love it alrady...I loved anthony before Rent was a movie...you arent a RENThead just cause you saw the movie once biatch

edit- oh nad you got the voicemail stuck in my head too

Rent had... 7 f-bombs cut? (that # seems high)... and 3 frames of a needle going into someone's arm (which is basically 1/3 of a second of the movie). Just as an FYI. It did initially get an R rating.

aright.. side note: my renthead friend im'ed me today to tell me that she changed her ring to: HONEY I KNOW YOUR THERE, PLEASE PICK UP THE PHONE. how funny is that. And since the rent soundtrack is never in any stores near me, someone in my class told me they saw Mark and Roger in FYE yesterday so I called and theyre holding Mark for me =).

F-bomb count in the show:
"Great...F**k!"
"F**king weird..."
"Who the f**k do you think you are?"
"This lot is full of motherf**king artists!"

I think that's all of them. How did they cut seven from the movie?
