Nice writing, insomniak. I'm gonna put my two cents in, k?

Am I the only one who didn't like Over the Moon? For me, it just wasn't funny and actually looked kinda stupid. I laughed so hard at the stage production, so this was really disappointing. As for the TVs and fancy stage/set-- How could they afford all that stuff if they're starving artists?

Overall, I was really satisfied by the film-- not blown away but not disappointed either. Yes, there were some moments that just looked silly, but as a whole it came out quite well.

Side note: I really missed all the cut songs and sung dialogue. ;_;

Nia. I love you. That is all I can even say.

That and I really adored your post. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Nia, not much to add that others haven't already said. That was wonderful. Glad to see you posting again!

This is a beautiful post. Thank you. Hopefully it will open the eyes of some of the immature teenagers on this site to stop posting ridiculous posts just to get attention.

All I can say is Amen. Wonderful post. And one of the few of the plethora of Rent-threads cropping up now that I'll actually stop to read with detail. It's nice to read a post that actually has something *important* to SAY.

insomniak, this is the first review I've read the whole way through (well, I skipped the Angels in American part because I just started reading it for the first time) and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. With all the crap (some positive, some negative) that's being posted right now, your review was a breath of fresh air.

Hugs to you too, Spider. I miss seeing you- and everyone.

Thanks for reading. It's good to be heard.

In case you didn't see it, Nia, Adam's quote in Life Magazine today relates directly to your review:

"When I was doing the play, it was hard for me to understand why people reacted so strongly to it... Now I know that when you watch it, whatever your individual issues are, you feel like a little bit of something has been lifted off your shoulders. And that's so rare."

Awesome, awesome review! You have some really great insight into the movie... ((hug!))

Emcee, I love your avatar by the way, and I also thought that Roger's trip to the Life Support meeting was a really nice addition. That made me cry...

I'm so glad that you wrote this, Nia. As I read it, I realized just how much of it identified with me. Plus, it's nice to have you back!
