Welcome to the boards of insanity Carly! And I applaud you for braving and conquering this whole thread, all 87 pages of it, in all its crazy glory. No small feat. And yes, we always welcome new obsessive RENTheads.

Enjoy!

Haha yeah it took me a couple days to get through it and my eyes were straining so much at points that my contact fell out. But I made it in the end with only minimal damage to my retina.

Take it to the Off-Topic board, if you please.

(Yes! The on-topic bitch is in the house!)

There's an Adam love thread, and even a thread on the On-Topic board talking about it.

Anthony I was just wondering, have you ever listened to the Forbidden Broadway spoofs of the RENT songs? And if so, what did you think about them? Someone recently sent me the sound clips and lyrics page and I'm still trying to stop laughing. Some of the best spoofs I've ever heard/read.

I believe he answered that a while back...said the only one he liked was Seasons of Hype, I think. Sorry if I'm misrepresenting! But I know he responded to that.

Thanks Lael.

Can't really remember all the points of this colossal thread. I wish I had a memory that good...wish being the key word there....:-P

Questions

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:17pm

I was just wondering if anyone has put all the more recent questions together for Anthony? If no one has done it then I would be happy to, but I don't want to do it if someone already has.

But we didn't have any coffee filters...so I used all we had which was...toilet paper...and we didn't have any coffee grinds so I used..peanut butter..and I found that...all you get is scalding hot peanut...water... <---Why should you always memorize your monologues? Oh yes...there was that one Chorus Line audition...

Hey Anthony, i have kind of a stupid queastion but if you stop one thing in the history of your life from happening, what would it be and why?

hey everybody --

I wanted to address a couple of things that have popped up in a couple of other threads before posting a bit more about what's been going on.

First of all, thanks fo all the compliments on the haircut and weight loss.

For the record, my hair is naturally blonde, although it does have a lot of red in it. It was dyed a dark red for Adventures in Babysitting, because Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was the head of production at Disney at the time, was afraid I would remind people of Anthony Michael Hall if I was blonde. So that might be where some of the confusion lies.

The weight loss thing was at Chris's request, so that Mark would look a little less well-fed than I am, and so I would look as young as possible as Mark. Same has gone for Adam and Wilson, and it all seems to have worked well.

About the fact that people are posting where our locations are: of course this is public knowledge, since there are public notices posted in the East Village stating where we're filming, and there are no rules or laws about people coming by a movie set to watch what's going on. I should just alert you all that the nature of filming often requires bystanders to watch from far away, though, so if you do come by, you might not get to see much. Also, we're not doing a whole lot of singing on the streets of Manhattan, because of noise laws, so if you do come by you might not be able to hear anything we're saying. I just wouldn't want people to come by and be disappointed that nothing really *fabulous* seems to be happening.

I also think it probably goes without saying, but if you do come by the set, please just be mindful that filmmaking is a fairly chaotic, intense business, and the crew needs space and respect, and not to have to worry about asking bystanders to be quiet or get out of the way, or anything. Again, I imagine that you wouldn't be in the way or loud or anything if you stopped by, but I just wanted to make sure it was said in advance.

Now having said all of that, I just wanted to also say that I am THRILLED beyond belief that tomorrow it all officially begins. We're starting with little odds and ends, mostly: a couple of shots of me riding my bike, a shot of Maureen and Joanne passing out flyers to people asking them if they've seen Mimi, a shot of myself posting flyers to lampposts, stuff like that. But it will be great to commit the first moments to celluloid.

I will post more after work...

Take care, and as always, thanks for your support and thoughts. And I wanted to say thanks for your skepticism as well: believe me when I say we are all concerned with making the film as authentic and heartfelt and raw as possible, and skepticism (yours and ours) helps fuel our desire, because it makes us all examine every choice as deeply as possible, to make sure we're making the right ones.

Thanks --

Anthony

Thanks for the update, and to questions not even posted on this thread! My goodness, you ARE a busy man.

Best of luck with filming tomorrow! Wish I could be one of the bystanders from far away...curse you, college!

I look incredibly forward to hearing about the start of filming. Break a leg!

Best of luck to you all. I can't wait for the movie. And (because there is no end to my geekiness) HAPPY 'RENT STARTS FILMING TODAY' DAY! I'd send a scarf (the only acceptable gift on such a day) to you all, but I don't live in New York. Is there an offical RENT fan club thingy I could send them too?

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

Thanks Anthony for the updates! I can't wait till the movie comes it. It sounds fantastic.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to answer this, but if you are, do you know if Idina is doing a concert in NY anytime soon?

Thanks and good luck!
