sure you say this now..but common, tell me you wont miss the excitement?

When people start threads about Matthew Broderick's hair, that'll be the day....

I honestly feel a little funny. All of the anticipation is gone! I woke up the morning after I saw it, and was like "what now?"

SG, please get us back on track.

It comes in waves. There have always been Rent-heads on this board... there have been Rent-heads for 10 years now... there will Rent-heads years from now...

They're just coming forward now, (like the obsessive Wicked fans did in '03-'04) because the show is in the news. If we DIDN'T have this many threads populating the boards, I'd be surprised. I completely agree that it can be a pain to scroll through 'em all and answer the 85 repetitive questions... but it was bound to happen. I think we know by now that people seem to have a genetic defect which causes an inability to use the search function on these boards.

In the end, just hang in there, I guess. This will all die down to be replaced by the next thread trend before too long. I think I'll follow xxnewgirlxx's idea and stay away from the boards for a few days after the movie is released. There are some reactions from SOME people which I am genuinely curious to read, and I'll look for those after the wave of "OMG!! AMAZING!! OMG!! ADAM!! OMG!! IDINA!!" has passed.

Sweet, SG. Just don't block my view.

I don't really contribute to the IMDB or Livejournal discussions. There are so many people posting on IMDB that anything I'd think to say has already been said (and barked at or upheld) by the time I arrive. There is usually a lone voice - never the same person - and then about thirty people disagreeing with it.

"What happens when the RENT movie comes out?"

well basicly movie theaters pick times for it to be shown, thousands of people flood to the movie theaters, purchase a ticket...then sit and watch the movie...maybe starbucks afterwards.

wait till the movie comes out and then we'll all know what happens...obv.

I think a lot of RENTheads are going to be feeling very empty inside very soon. The only person I feel really bad for is emcee. I feel like I should send a muffin basket in sympathy that there's nothing to look forward to in the immediate future.

I will be incredibly glad once this is all over.

I started off very excited about this movie- my search for information following its announcement is what led me to bww. But then things began to happen that I could not be a part of- meeting actors, set visits, The Coming Of Anthony Rapp (also known as God), pre-screenings....

It became like everything else Broadway- too far to touch. So what? The Rent movie is a complete experience and it's only for a privileged few. I'm bored of reading about it. Either include me or make it go away. This movie is like the friend who throws a party, doesn't invite me and then has to talk about it throughout the following week, only to move onto another party once the latest has been exhausted.

I hate to say it, but the hype has almost turned me off from the show entirely. When I listen to it now, all I hear are bww posters. The actual MUSICAL has been lost in this cloud of "specialness".

/mini therapy session.

i know what you mean.. although i do live in NY i havent had the opportunity to go to any events that I wanted to-- sometimes it really sucks to be young. There are times when I find myself wishing that this wasnt going to be a movie..just because I think it might lose the thing that makes it so special. I don't know ..its hard to explain.

Thanks. It's good to hear that.
